To coincide with the publication of the August issue of Racer (on sale on 5 July) that has a review of the Team Associated B6.1 Team Kit, we thought that we would feature a on-line build blog of the model on our website.
To begin with here is a run-down of the key features of the Team Associated RC10B6.1 Team Kit:
Easy-access gear differential
Differential height adjustment (0, 1, 2, and 3mm inserts included)
New slipper assembly for better weight balance and shock clearance
Three-gear laydown Stealth transmission for lower and forward centre of gravity
Heavy-duty V2 routed graphite front shock tower with tower guard
Heavy-duty V2 routed graphite rear tower, standard height
Heavy-duty V2 rear axle with 67mm bones
V2 springs for a more reactive and nimble feel
Innovative rear arm with moulded inserts for ultra-fine lower shock mount adjustment
Moulded spur gear guard to help protect body from damage
Front and rear anti-roll bars limit chassis roll for increased corner speed
Battery strap allows the use of optional turnbuckle-based braces
Machined pistons included for better fit and smoother operation
Aluminium rear clamping hex and front axle with laser etching
Rear hubs feature large bearings and the easy-insert system to adjust camber link position and rear axle height
One-piece shock bushing to make assembly easier
Aluminium C and D arm mounts included for large range of anti-squat and toe adjustment
Lightweight aluminium top shaft
Factory Team upgraded ball bearing kit included (oiled not greased for less drag)
JConcepts B6 clear body and wing included
Steel chassis weight
Shortened, 7075 aluminium chassis
This step-by-step process shows the order in which the 2WD buggy is built as well as lots of component details of the parts included in the kit.
We went with a Reedy package – servo, motor and speed controller.
