Associated B6.1 Clay Track Dream Build

The Associated B6.1 kit is impressive enough, but after years of racing, I wanted something pro level to compete with. Race ready car weights in at 1503 grams, near the ROAR limit.

Associated B6.1 rear end photo with JConcepts titanium rods, shock jewelry, and Exotek MIP modified pucks installed.

Associated B6.1 with modified Mattox humorous chassis skin (Wording is custom and not included with the Mattox skin). I figure either the turn marshal will have an incentive for getting my car, or at least an excuse for any delay.

Associated B6.1 with over-sized rear wing installed. There is a section on this blog as to why I run this modification.

Associated B6.1 with pro level electronics installed. The Maclan ESC is well worth every penny. Custom set up decals are also displayed.

Associated B6.1 with Exotek direct drive installed. Top shaft is Associated, but I went with the Exotek spur and adapter for one reason. Blue is simply faster.
