Avid Satellite buggy wheels

Buggy racers around the world will appreciate the engineering, looks, and performance of the new Satellite buggy wheel lineup from Avid. Durable and light-weight the wheel has a stiff face for maximum performance in cornering and because of the deep dish and spoke design, the rear wheels are super lightest at 16.8 grams each. AVID wheels shave extra weight with contoured spokes that remove low-stress material and add material to keep the wheel rigid and true while an angled glue catch keeps the glue where you want it and not on your wheel face. The wheels are center-point injected to ensure that they spin true and are well balanced and the innovative swirl pattern is designed to mate with serrated locking nuts to
keep your wheels secure. Available in yellow and white with 12mm hex front and rear as well as TLR22 specific front wheels.

DB1 Kyosho 2WD off-road conversion kit

Rudebits are proud to introduce the DB1 Kyosho 2WD buggy conversion kit. Designed by David Burton, an experienced engineer and former BRCA nationals winner, the kit combined the front end of Kyosho’s Ultima series buggies with the rear end of the Lazer ZX-5 line of cars. The result is a low centre of gravity buggy with front motor and rearward placed saddle packs, driven by an inertia propshaft to overcome the disadvantages often associated with an inline motor placement. The kit includes seven carbon fibre parts such as the 2.6mm chassis, top deck, U-shaped support, LiPo battery braces and LiPo retaining straps. Also included is 20g a brass LiPo centre weight, under LiPo weights, alloy battery posts, weighted inertia propshaft, Shadow body shell, front alloy posts, decal sheet and setup sheet. Not included are the front and rear end of the Ultima and Lazer, motor mount etc. The buggy that required a low-profile servo is available for pre-order now.
