Avid 7” High-Clearance Low Drag 1:10 Buggy Wing

Avid has a new 7″ wide wing designed for 1:10 buggies with high clearance wheel cutouts and low drag. Available in two thicknesses, lightweight and standard, it features a flat but curved front lip to speed the air up going over it with a smooth transition to the low pressure 18.5 degree rear section so there are no pockets or hard edges to disrupt the flow. An innovative feature they have incorporated in is a small raised line in the centre, allowing easy centring during mounting. Additionally, the wing includes eight support ribs on the sides to maintain structural integrity. Two gurney options are also offered to adjust the rear bite to your preference. The wings comes uncut as 2 units.

Avid B7 Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles

New from Avid Racing Concepts is the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles for the new Team Associated B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. The US brand’s first dip into the turnbuckle market, the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckle is currently available for the B7 with all other modern 1:10 scale vehicles arriving in March. Creating a unique design instead of merely replicating the JC Fin style, which dominates 95% of the industry, proved to be an arduous task. It took one year and four design iterations before they arrived at the distinctive Ringer style. These feature a shiny black finish with silver highlights making them pop on your vehicle like no others on the market due to their trademark round Ringer design which reflects more light than your traditional flat surface cuts. They have also incorporated their logo machined into the centre on all four sides so it won’t wear off over time and makes it easy to determine which direction tightens or loosens, the A-Arrow turning forward tightens the turnbuckle.

Avid Avant Coated TLR 13mm Shock Bodies

New from Avid Racing Concepts is their new low friction Avant Coating TLR 13mm shock bodies offering 22 and 22X-4 racers the plush feeling of the larger bodies while utilising all your other G3 components with 3mm shafts. When Cecil and his team at Schumacher developed the 13mm shock bodies in 2011 for the Cougar SV, the US market didn’t take notice because our tracks were so different. The benefits were undeniable though when AE released theirs in the US for their B6.4. In 1:10, pack is not something racers strive for like they do in 1:8 scale. The larger 13mm body allows for less volume displacement under compression which allows for a much more predictable feeling on the track. This is why Avid have included (2) 2.0mm thin blank pistons for you to get going. With the piston face being larger at 13mm, this requires more oil to be moved so the standard piston configuration of 2×1.5 in the front and 2×1.6 in the rear does not work the same. It is recommended starting with 2×1.7 in the front and 2×1.8 in the rear. If the track is super bumpy or choppy go up to 2×1.8 in the front and 2×1.9 in the rear. Avid’s new Avant Coating offers the same strength as our mil-spec type III hard anodising but with an even smoother low-friction surface.

Avid D8 Worlds Spec Carbon & G10 Arm Inserts

New from Avid Racing are these Carbon & G10 Arm Inserts for the HB Racing’s D8 Worlds Spec 1:8 Buggy. The 1.5mm Carbon Arm Inserts for the front offer your buggy another great tuning feature by reducing the flex and twist in the arm. Because the arm is now symmetrical (left and right arm are the same), it has two locations for an arm insert (top & bottom) and the arms do not come with plastic covers anymore. Avid Racing recommend running the carbon insert on the top of the arm and their G10 insert on the bottom to keep the dirt out of the arm while not making the arm too stiff.
