Avid 1:10 Truss 2.2 Buggy Wheels

Upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released its Truss wheel for 1:10 Offroad use.  The most striking feature of the design is the concave face, which enhances reflections from the polished finish while keeping the face vertical to protect the wheel nut and axles when the straightaway pipe becomes a berm.  Inside, six ribs reduce rotating mass, and their symmetric triangle truss sits where the hex transfers the most torque, cutting down on wheel fatigue.  The inner glue bead ribs are shortened to let the foam absorb impact on landings instead of the tire hitting the rib.  Finally, the wheel nut area has fewer cutouts, leaving more material to handle aggressive serrated nuts, a design the US brand pioneered over a decade ago.
