Avid B4.2 motor centering kit & servo mounts

Avid is busy adding more option parts to their range of after market parts. First up is the motor centering kit for Team Associated’s B4.2, T4.2 and SC10.2 line of off-road vehicles as well as the respective predecessors. The parts are designed to overcome the imbalance issue often associated with the vehicles that are heavy on the left rear, which also makes an imbalance on the front tires. By shifting the motor, motorplate, and slipper 5mm towards the right, the balance is restored close to 50/50 for a more predictable handling. Along with the improved balance also goes a 6.7g weight saving. The set includes a 5mm aluminium spacer, 5mm slipper spacer, and stainless steel mount screws.

Avid 1/8th titanium lower shock screws

Avid introduce these titanium lower shock screws for 1/8th off-road vehicles like the ones from Mugen, Xray, Agama, or Tekno. The screw set offers two left and two right hand threaded screws with a 5.5mm socket head which makes taking the shocks off a breeze. A centre-drilled hole for easy docking of callipers while measuring shock lengths is also incorporated. The special design of the screws makes sure the fasteners do not come loose in long mains as they are constantly fastened by the up and down travel of the arm and the shock’s ball cup.
