American company Avid Racing has released carbon arm inserts for the RC8B4 1:8 Buggy from Team Associated. Made from 2.0mm carbon fibre, the inserts are an addition set-up tuning option reducing the flex and twist in the arm. A common setting is to run them just in the front or just the rear to dial in the feel of your buggy. The left and right inserts are interchangeable.
Avid Racing has released carbon arm inserts for HB Racing’s D2 Evo2 1:10 Buggy and D8T/E8T Evo3 1:8 Truggy. The 1.5mm inserts offer another great tuning feature by reducing the flex and twist in the arm. A common setting is to run them just in the front or just the rear to dial in the feel of your buggy or truggy. The left and right inserts are interchangeable and come complete with stainless-steel installation screws.
Avid Racing has released an updated motor bearing lineup designed to improve performance and increase lifespan in RC motors. They use chrome steel rings that are polished to a mirror-like finish to reduce noise and vibration, and maintain a very tight ABEC7 tolerance to minimise play in the bearing. In the ceramic versions, they use silicone nitride ceramic balls (Si3N4) for a smooth, slippery surface. All the motor bearings also feature a nylon cage instead of metal, which prevents expansion under heat for improved performance. Additionally, Avis use high-speed oil for low-friction rotation and metal shields to reduce contact on the races and protect against debris.

Avid has released new Wider C Blocks for the Associated B6.4 & B74.2 and TLR’s 22 5.0 & 22X-4. They are a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. The mount 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 must start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your trackwidth. The C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C pivot block, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.
Avid Racing Concepts have released these Ringer Shock Standoffs which are a direct replacement for the kit standoffs, including (4) standoffs, and (4) Delrin pivot bushings. They are made of black anodized 7075 Aluminum with a 7mm nut and our Ringer design silver highlights at the base to blind your competition with. Each standoff is fully threaded to help prevent bent shock mount screws. The Delrin pivot bushings are designed to rest against the smooth standoff instead of the screw which extends the life of them however they can be replaced to help maintain a tight fit in your shock cap when needed.
Avid Racing Concepts have released these Ringer Bullet Plug Grips. Bullet grips have been around for a few years now and Avid figured it was time for them to put their take on these handy parts. First, they ergonomically shaped them to allow for a bit more grip when pulling them out. With a preference for the full stealth look, they did both of the grips in black with positive (+) and negative (-) laser etched on the base of each and included black and red shrink tubing that you can add to your wire for immediate notification. Last but not least they added their Ringer design to these by adding 5 silver highlight rings, one of which is inside the grip which makes these items sparkle like no other.
Avid Racing Concepts have released these ergonomically shaped Fuel Line Plugs to cap off your fuel lines while working on your car. Produced from 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with black anodising, they can prevent the risk of spilling fuel or tearing your fuel lines by using M3 screws.
