Avid is the next company to introduce option parts for the Tekno EB410 buggy, a kit that has received a lot of attention lately. Coming is an aluminium battery thumbwheel as a direct replacement for the stock thumbwheel. An O-ring is included for easy installation and secure mounting, and the black anodised finish with silver edge details and laser-engraved markings let the item stand out.

Coming from Avid are a new B6 front shock tower for gullwing A-arm-equipped Team Associated B6 buggy as well as a front carbon fibre shock tower for the B64. Starting with the B6-related part, the gullying-type 4.5mm front shock tower is machined from heavy duty carbon fibre for added strength and stability. Addition bracing of weak areas makes the tower nearly indestructible and it adds to the already existing front flat arm and long rear shock tower.
Avid have introduced their new 10.75mm aluminium posts for the Team Associated RC10F6 formula kit. They are of a beefed-up design to help prevent them from bending in high-stress situations and they are highly recommended for the suspension arms but they can also be used as a visual and strengthened upgrade to the rear wing mounts. The posts come blue anodised, with silver details and in sets of one, two or three pairs.
Avid have added new colours to their range of Triad wing buttons with the dual black/gold and black/blue variants. Coming in at 0.3g each, they are very light of weight and with the new dual colour anodising they also add visual impact. The buttons are designed for use with an M3 flat head screw which is common on both 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles.

Avid have introduced new front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. Available are the “flat” front and “long” rear towers, both are made of 4.5mm carbon fibre material and Avid added material, pocketing, and bracing to the weak areas. The flat and long configurations are the most popular on dirt tracks and they require flat front A-arms and long 31mm shock bodies as the latter offer more volume and control in most conditions. The upper shock mount positions are in the same location as the stock geometry and the towers are available separately from now on.
Avid have expanded their range of Triad wing buttons for 1/8th and 1/10th vehicles by two new colours. Adding to the already existing black, blue, red, green, pink, orange, hard anodize, purple are the new silver and gold buttons. Each weighs in at 0.3g, they are made of high-quality aluminium and come with silver edge details and laser-etched logos. Using an M3 flathead screw the wing buttons fit pretty much every 1/8th and 1/10th vehicle on the market.

Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated RC8B3 and Mugen MBX7 buggies are the FastTune camber shims. The parts are made from aluminium and designed to allow to easily adjust the camber on popular pillow ball designs without having to fully unthread them. The tab feature helps to keep them in place as the pillow ball is tighten down. The shims are available separately as 6-piece 0.5mm or 1mm set and also as 8-piece combo set, containing four each.
Coming from Avid and made for the Team Associated B64 range of vehicles are three new carbon fibre gearbox shims. They allow to raise the gearbox to the desired height which ultimately provides more grip to that end. Avid developed these to provide racers with the ability get the the popular 2mm version on their own, the fine tuning of the 0.5mm/1.0mm shim separately, or the whole kit of all three for all out adjustability.
