Avid Truss 2.2’’ 4WD Front Slim Wheel

Adding to its Truss 1:10 Offroad wheel line-up, upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has introduced the Truss 2.2’’ 4WD Front Slim Wheel. 4WD on carpet is notoriously hard to drive so instead of chasing setup tweaks or adjusting your driving style, Avid has taken a different approach. The 4WD Front Slim Wheel runs a 2WD slim front tyre to better balance the car and calm the steering, giving the front end a much more familiar 2WD feel while maintaining the proper offset and width for 4WD. The result is a buggy that is easier to drive, more predictable, and doesn’t force you to relearn your inputs when switching between classes. Coming as a pack of 4 wheels, the Truss Slim Wheel is available in the traditional white or yellow options.

Avid 13mm Ringer Shock Caps

Upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released new 13mm Ringer Shock Caps that are designed specifically for use with Avid Ringer Shock Standoffs. They fit Avid Avant 13mm shocks as well as AE kit and Kashima 13mm shocks, but will not work on the AE kit shock standoffs, Avid Ringer Standoffs only. The signature silver Ringer grooves give your AE ride a clean, aggressive look that stands out without trying too hard. Avid include 4 silver washers for the bleeder screws if you’re worried about scratching the caps.  Also included are their large seal-proof o-rings from the Avant shocks. These won’t squish out when tightening and provide a reliable seal so your shocks stay leak-free.

Avid Guardian & Sweeper Carpet Tyres

American upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released two new 1:10 Buggy Carpet Tyres, the Guardian front and the Sweeper rear. The Guardian was designed to give predictable steering that stays consistent. After a single break-in run, Avid claim the tyre settles into its true performance window and holds it. Instead of chasing balance from run to run, you get a front end that stays planted, confident, and repeatable. For the rear, the Sweeper is designed around an aggressive arched chevron pin layout, it delivers strong forward drive and exceptional side bite without feeling edgy or unpredictable. Whether you’re carrying speed through long sweepers or getting on power out of the corner, they say the Sweeper keeps the rear planted so you can push with confidence lap after lap. Both tyres are offered in two compounds. A3 Medium Green is best suited for high-bite surfaces such as office carpet, tracks that allow traction compound, or extended practice sessions where longevity is important. The A4 Soft Red is designed for lower-bite surfaces (CRC, Beach, and EOS) style carpets and where traction compound is not allowed. It delivers maximum forward and steering grip when you are willing to trade a bit of wear for performance.

Avid 22X Triad Slipper | Direct Drive

Avid has released a new Triad Evo Slipper, and Triad Direct Drive, for the Team Losi Racing X22 1:10 4WD Buggy platform. The Triad Evo Slipper fits the 22X lineup and has several advantages over the current slipper offerings. The design allows the clutch to transmit power, yet it still maintains a degree of slip without overheating. They offer four pre-configured kits and one customisable kit in order to better suit racers needs. Pre-configured kits of Mod (81/84), 17.5 (69/72), 21.5 (66/69), and UK (78/81) spurs with Avid CPD slipper pads are avsailable. Their customisable Triad Evo allows you to choose which two spurs and even allows you to choose which pad configuration you would like. The Triad Direct Drive for the 22X allows stock racers to remove the entire clutch assembly for conditions where the driver feels having less rotating mass and zero slip except from the differential is beneficial. This system is the lightest direct drive unit available today coming in at 6.45g with a 72t (2.62g with no spur).

Avid 13mm Precision Carpet ‘Batch 2’ Springs

New from Avid Racing Concepts comes their 13mm Precision ‘Batch 2’ Springs. These new additions will be used on high grip office carpet, or heavier vehicles like stadium trucks. The Avid Springs are specifically designed for carpet racing by having stiffer rates and shorter lengths – this allowing you to get to your low ride heights easily. The springs are left raw so the spring rate and action of the spring is not compromised from any extra chemical processes, just like Avid’s famous springs that they released in 2013!

Avid B7 -2° Wider C Mounts | Hard Anodised Slipper Screw

Avid Racing Concepts has released new -2° Wider C Mounts and a Hard Anodised Slipper Screw for the Team Associated RC10B7 platform. The Avid -2° C Arm Mount was first innovated by the US Upgrade parts producer for the B6.3 and has turned into a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. These mounts for the B7/T7/SC7 and B84 frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. Typically, to get to the low rear toe settings that you need on carpet, you have to start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your track width. Our C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C pivot block, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centred pills on the C and D mount instead of 3. You will be amazed at how well your car handles with less rear toe done in the correct fashion. Also new from Avid for the B7 is their hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium Slipper Screw which weighs just 1.43 grams. While their titanium version saved weight it eventually picked up a slight bend which sent Avid back to the drawing board. The result is a screw that stays straight, keeps the weight low, and costs a lot less than titanium. The 2mm hex makes slipper adjustments easier, even with the motor fan still on.

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.
