Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or RC enthusiast in the UK looking to keep your Associated B6 in peak condition, these bumpers provide practical protection for your vehicle during intense on-track sessions and off-road adventures.

Technical Performance
The Associated B6/B6.1 Bumpers are engineered from durable materials specifically chosen to absorb impact forces whilst maintaining structural integrity during the demanding conditions of competitive racing. As OEM components, these bumpers have been developed and tested by Associated engineers alongside the complete B6 chassis platform, ensuring they work in harmony with the buggy's suspension geometry, body mounting points, and overall weight distribution. The bumpers provide critical protection for the chassis and electronic components during high-speed impacts, jumps, and rough terrain driving. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, these components deliver consistent performance across multiple seasons of use. The design takes into account the unique demands placed on 1/10-scale buggies used in racing environments, where speeds can be substantial and impacts are frequent. Whether you're running your B6 on carpet tracks, outdoor asphalt, or off-road terrain, these bumpers are engineered to withstand the stresses of competitive RC buggy racing whilst maintaining perfect fitment and aesthetic appearance with your original bodywork.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Associated AS91685 bumpers compatible with my B6 buggy? — Yes, these bumpers are specifically labelled for the B6-series racing buggy platform and are referenced by Associated as B6/B6.1 in technical materials. The product is compatible with Associated B6, B6D, and B6.1 models. However, if you have a different model revision, we recommend checking your kit manual or parts list to confirm the AS91685 reference matches your specific buggy, as many variants exist within the B6 family including the B6.1D, B6.2, B6.2D, B6.3, B6.4, and B6.4D.
- Why would I need replacement bumpers for my B6 buggy? — Racing buggies experience high-impact forces during jumps, landings, crashes, and fast cornering. Over time, bumpers can become damaged, cracked, or worn through normal use and occasional crashes. Having spare bumpers allows you to maintain your buggy in optimal condition, repair damage quickly, and keep your chassis and electronics protected. These are genuine maintenance items that most serious RC racers keep in stock.
- What is the difference between the B6, B6D, and B6.1 versions? — Associated's B6 family includes multiple variants with different features and specifications. The AS91685 bumpers are compatible with B6, B6D, and B6.1 models, as these versions share the same bumper design. If you own a B6.1D, B6.2, B6.2D, B6.3, B6.4, B6.4D, or other variants, you should check your specific parts list or contact our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- How do I install these bumpers on my B6 buggy? — Since these are OEM component replacements, installation varies depending on your buggy's current condition. We recommend consulting your B6 series assembly manual or kit instructions for detailed mounting procedures. Installation typically involves removing the old bumper and securing the new one using the existing mounting points on your chassis. If you need installation guidance, please contact RC Model Shop at 01543 577278 or WhatsApp us for expert advice.
- Are these genuine Associated parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM Associated parts manufactured by the brand itself. Part number AS91685 is the official Associated reference, ensuring you receive authentic components that meet manufacturer specifications and quality standards. Purchasing from RC Model Shop, an authorised Associated retailer, guarantees you receive genuine products.
