Avid RC8B3/T3 HD aluminium steering rack

Made to prevent the easy bending of the stock steering rack by making it out of the strong 7075-T6 aluminium, the design also removes the relief pockets, and takes out the unnecessary kinks. The black anodised item comes with silver edge details and a laser-etched Avid logo. The rack fits all the vehicles in the RC8B3 and RC8T3 line.

Avid CPD 1/10th buggy slipper pads

Coming from Avid are the CPD Consistent Power Delivery slipper pads for many of today’s electric off-road buggies. The slipper pads are of a new material designed with the focus of providing a larger tuning window while also being able to handle higher temps. This allows for less slipper fade during a run and drivers don’t have to adjust their buggy’s slipper setting nearly as often to maintain the same track feel. The pads are available for the standard Team Associated and Yokomo slippers and also for Avid’s own Triad Evo units.
