Blaze Racing Battle Sword 2022 conversion

Blaze Racing have released some updated parts for their GT10 Battle Sword kit. After a long period of testing and racing with various prototype parts and different chassis configurations they came up with a significantly redesigned chassis and all new braces, decks, rear pod etc. First off the all new chassis offers much more forgiving and versatile handling due to more flex, reduced width, lower weight and accommodates the longer 65mm side links. They also came up with some design changes that make the car even more resistant to crashes without additional weight. Updated parts are now offered as a complete kit, an upgrade set for the previous Battle Sword and a conversion kit for any 1:10 CRC based 200mm kit as shown above. If you have a CRC 1:12 scale kit they also offer the necessary IRS rear axle and hubs.

Avid B6.3 Arm Mount C wider -2°

The new Avid B6.3 -2° C arm mount is a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. This mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. To get to the low rear toe settings you need on carpet, you have to start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your track width. This C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C Arm Mount 1.4mm, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.
