What You Need to Complete
The Team Associated B6.1 FL MIP Drivetrain Kit 67mm is a drivetrain replacement component only and is designed to install into an existing Team Associated B6.1 chassis. This kit does not include the complete vehicle or standalone components needed to build a full RC buggy system. To use this drivetrain kit, you will need a fully assembled Team Associated B6.1 chassis with all other drivetrain components, differential components, and chassis systems already in place. This is a direct replacement or upgrade component for existing B6.1 owners looking to refresh their drivetrain with factory team specification MIP Pucks components.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the MIP Pucks drivetrain system and why is it better than standard drivetrains? — MIP Pucks technology represents a significant engineering advancement in RC drivetrain design, featuring keyed components that eliminate drivetrain slop and improve power transmission efficiency. The bi-metal construction of the bones and yokes provides superior durability compared to plastic-only designs, resisting wear and deformation under the extreme stress of competitive racing. Racers using MIP Pucks systems consistently report improved handling precision, more responsive steering feel, and enhanced reliability throughout extended racing seasons on both carpet and dirt tracks across the UK.
- Is this kit suitable for beginners or only for experienced racers? — This is a specialist component kit designed for experienced RC racers and Team Associated B6.1 owners. The installation requires mechanical knowledge of RC drivetrain systems, including proper bearing installation, fastener torque specifications, and differential geometry understanding. Beginners should not attempt installation without prior experience or guidance from an experienced RC technician. However, for competitive and experienced drivers upgrading their existing B6.1 setups, this kit represents excellent value and proven performance.
- What is the difference between the 67mm and other drivetrain lengths? — The 67mm length specification refers to the distance between the differential and the wheel hubs on the axles. Different length configurations (such as 57mm bones) provide different geometric characteristics that affect handling, traction, and chassis behaviour. The 67mm length is specifically engineered for the B6.1 platform and is the correct specification for proper geometry and performance on this chassis.
- Can I install this kit myself, or do I need professional help? — Installation requires mechanical aptitude and familiarity with RC drivetrain systems. The kit includes detailed assembly instructions and MIP provides comprehensive documentation for proper installation. UK-based RC Model Shop and other authorised retailers can provide guidance on installation, and many local RC shops offer assembly services if you're uncomfortable performing the work yourself.
- How often will I need to replace this drivetrain kit? — With proper maintenance, including regular cleaning and occasional re-lubrication of bearings, this MIP Pucks drivetrain system should provide many seasons of reliable service. However, if you race extensively at the track multiple times per week, you may need to replace wear items such as bearings or address individual component damage from accidents. The modular design allows replacement of individual components rather than the entire kit if damage occurs.
- What tracks in the UK use B6.1 buggies in competition? — The Team Associated B6.1 is run extensively on UK carpet tracks, outdoor astroturf circuits, and various dirt venues. It is the chassis of choice for I.F.M.A.R. 2WD buggy racing and is featured in numerous national championships, regional competitions, and club-level events throughout the United Kingdom. Check with local RC clubs in your area for current race schedules and opportunities to compete with your B6.1.
