New from Avid comes the HD long Kyosho rear axle conversion for RB5/6 2WD and ZX-5 4WD buggies. The set is designed to place the stock short type rear shafts with a longer and more rigid solution in order to improve the overall durability. An extended thread section makes fitting aftermarket rear wheels much easier and does away with the need to run serrated low profile nuts. Included with the kit, that also fits the Ultima SC truck, comes a pair of rear axles, two clamping hex adapters, solid axle pins and hardware.
