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.
