Team Associated B6 laydown transmission conversion

Team Associated have introduced the laydown transmission conversion set for the B6D 2WD buggy. Including everything needed to convert the B6D from a standup configuration to laydown, the set comes with new gearbox halves, blue anodised motor plate, idler gear and gearbox brace. The laydown transmission will lower the vehicle’s overall centre of gravity, reducing polar moment and thus increasing corner speed in higher grip conditions.

Italian company Mon-Tech have introduced a special servo and steering mount for the Xray X1. The option part, called SSS which is for “servo, steering, suspension” is meant to allow better steering response, faster cornering and improved bump handling.
