Avid B4 aluminium steering bellcranks

Avid B4 aluminium steering bellcranks are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, black anodized, and laser etched for a premium look. Each package includes 1 left and 1 right bellcrank which replace the plastic servo saver and bellcrank on any B4, B4.1, T4, T4.1, and SC10. These aluminium bellcranks eliminate flex in the steering system for maximum steering feel. They also eliminate the plastic servo saver which can fail and cause DNFs. Associated ace Ryan Maifield installed the Avid bellcranks on his B4 and went on to take the win at the Winter Midwest Championships in Columbus, Ohio.

Buku Speed Tune clutch

The Buku Speed Tune clutch is the world’s first and only clutch for nitro RC vehicles that lets you independently tune the spring tension for each shoe without removing the motor or clutch bell. There is no need any more for pulling out the engine, breaking down your clutch, and picking a spring for each shoe. Each clutch shoe is equipped with a special Aramid fibre pad that is extremely wear resistant and that causes virtually no wear to the clutch bell. The extremely low wear rate and uniform friction characteristics of the Komposite fibre pads with no wear to the clutch bell create a very consistent and reliably performing clutch.
