New from JConcepts comes the knurl tip front axle for the Team Associated B5 line of buggies. Eliminating around 38 percent of weight compared to the kit’s steel axle thanks to the design and titanium material used, the JConcepts axle make for less unsprung weight and thus quicker steering response and improved on-track performance. The design also incorporates a knurled axle tip to give the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tire doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional weight.
