Avid carbon fibre dogbone servo mount spacers

Avid have introduced their new dogbone-shaped carbon fibre servo mount spacers. They come in two thicknesses of 1.5mm or 2.5mm and provide the servo with a rigid mounting surface to ensure that the servo stays tight and the screws do not loosen as the plastic shims compress over time. The spaces can also be used to shift weight around by moving a servo forward or even up in 8th scale vehicles. The spacers come in sets of two in either 1.5mm or 2.5mm thickness.

Schelle B64-series aluminium rear hubs

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations are aluminium rear hubs for the Team Associated B64 1/10th scale buggies. The 2-piece design with replaceable caps increases adjustment and durability as the hubs fit the kit axle height inserts for 0, +1, +2, and +3 adjustability. The standard location “inside, +1mm shim” matches the kit standard upper row middle “B” hole. The upper cap design can space away from the main hub with ballstud shims, allowing racers fine in-between adjustments for the rear upper link. True to the kit geometry, the Schelle aluminium hubs are 0 degree toe-in when using the Associated inserts. The SCH1095 aluminium upper caps carry over from the B6 design, and are shared the same part left and right. The upper cap design reduces leverage on the outer ballstud, and is much easier to use when needing to remove a broken ballstud. Lastly, these hubs are zero slop, with plastic bearing inserts and 2 set screws for the hinge pin. The hubs will become available from end of May in blue or black colour.
