Avid D413 hard-anodised aluminium chassis set

Available now from Avid is the hard-anodised aluminium chassis set for the HB D413. Born from a winning pedigree, Avid’s IFMAR World Champion winning B44.2 aluminium chassis, the HB part is further refined by lowering the ballast weight even more into the chassis, oversized chamfers on the bottom corners for increased stability during those inevitable chassis dragging moments, and an optional floating servo mount allows the chassis to twist equally left to right. Included with the set comes the 7075-T6 chassis, one delrin and one aluminium ballast weight, a carbon fibre battery stop, an Upgrade RC chassis protector, and an Avid decal. Additional 3g delrin, 7g aluminium, or 21g brass inserts are sold separately for more tuning options.

Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Bearings

New from RDRP is a line of high-quality ball bearings as a replacement for worn-out ball races or as instant upgrade when building a new kit. Their special construction with a protective rubber seal on the “outer” side and a low-friction steel shield on the “inner” side maximise the protection against the elements while optimising the drivetrain’s efficiency compared to all-rubber shielded ball races. This makes them especially useful in demanding applications such as electric and nitro off-road racing. A low-drag lubricant further adds to the ultra smooth operation with the bearings being available as complete car sets for many Team Associated, Team C, Team Durango, Kyosho, Mugen, Schumacher, TLR, and Yokomo kits as well as individually in 4-piece sets.
