Avid have their 1/10th wing buttons and Triad M4 wheel nuts available in three new colours of green, orange and pink. The wing buttons are ideal for both off-road and on-road cars thanks to their large contact surface that prevents the wing from excessively bend under heavy loads. The parts sport laser-etched Avid logos and they fit almost every touring car wing on the market and several off-road vehicles that use M3 wing mounting screws. As for the wheel nuts, the Triad M4 are ideal for virtually every modern 1/10th scale vehicle, they use common 7mm wheel wrenches and weigh in at 0.3g each. They are serrated to ensure they stay in place even in demeaning racing conditions and like the wing buttons they come in the new colours of green, orange and pink.
