Avid Triad 17mm lightweight wheel nuts

Avid introduce the Triad 17mm lightweight wheel nuts for 1/8th off-road and GT vehicles. The unique design utilises only 3 corners of the nut instead of 6 to give the nut its light weight, around 0.96g per piece, while also protecting the laser etched Avid “A’s” from being worn off like popular closed nuts. The serrated design keeps them in place securely and the nuts are available in 4-piece packs in black, red, blue or hard anodising colour.

Speed Passion Competition V4.0 brushless motor

Speed Passion introduce their latest competition electric brushless motor called the V4.0. Based on the experience gained with the V1.0 to V3.0 series, that won multiple titles including World and European Championships, the 4.0 features a completely new design with an updated can, newly designed front and rear endbells as well as severely other refinements. Different from its predecessors the new motor makes use of bullet-type connectors for the speedo wires whereas the previous versions had the bullet-type connectors mounted into the endbell. The design allows for the use of connectors or direct soldering of the wires for even more efficiency. The motor also offers a new endbell timing system and we understand that it will come in “modified” winding options first.
