Schelle Racing Innovations B5 aluminium rear hubs

Schelle introduce a new 2-piece hub concept for the Team Associated B5 and T5 platform. The 2-piece design with a replaceable upper cab increases adjustment and durability as the upper part can be spaced away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing fine “in-between” adjustments for the rear upper link. True to the kit geometry, the zero degree toe aluminium hubs are of a symmetric design with shared parts left and right. Plastic bearing inserts and hinge pin set screws make for the highest possible precision and slop-free parts fitment. The upper cap design reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, as well as increasing shock clearance for the turnbuckle. The hubs come in black or blue anodising and are available now.

Team Associated Factory Team shock shaft pliers

Team Associated’s new Factory Team shock shaft pliers make it easy to grip shock shafts while screwing on the shock ends, leaving the shaft clear of scratches in the process. The pliers’ large clamping surface and long handle provide plenty of leverage for gripping 30mm to 4.0mm shafts with minimal effort while holes in the end of the handle allow for shock shaft size measurement. The compact design makes storage easy while the blue anodised and laser-etched billet aluminium construction offers strength and durability.
