ST Racing Concepts has launched three more aluminum option parts to their growing lineup of Team Associated B5/B5M parts.

Increase the durability and precision of your Associated B5 series buggy’s steering with their new CNC Machiend Aluminum Steering Bellcrank set. This 3-piece steering bellcrank set reduces flex to give your buggy a more precise feel on the steering and increase the durability against hard landings. It also adds great looks to your Associated B5 series buggy.

Upgrade the stock plastic rear hub carrier with the STRC precision CNC Aluminum Hub Carriers. Featuring all the same geometry and shape as the stock pieces with the durability of high quality aluminum material, and the hub carrier features no anodizing for the bearing holes for the tight tolerance and fit.

You can now replace the stock plastic caster blocks with STRC’s high quality CNC machined aluminum caster blocks. Featuring all the same geometry as the stock components, these aluminum caster blocks are designed to greatly reduce flex and increase durability over the stock plastic pieces, while also adding a factory look to your Associated B5 series buggy.

JConcepts has been on top of weight saving items since the beginning, and now are making those items available to the Team Associated B5 vehicles. A critical point of the axle weight revolves around the front axle itself, along with surrounding geometry, hexes, and pins. Within the steering block the space is very tight and especially between the 2 front bearings where the front axles rests. The cleverly designed JConcepts axle is quite simple, straight-forward and eliminates ~38% weight over a stock steel replacement axle.

I ordered a pair of Lunsford titanium front axles. I'll test them out this week and see who it goes.

That's a great feature to upgrade. Have you upgraded any of the towers?
