Avid B7 Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles

New from Avid Racing Concepts is the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles for the new Team Associated B7 1:10 2WD Buggy.  The US brand’s first dip into the turnbuckle market, the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckle is currently available for the B7​ with all other modern 1:10 scale vehicles​ arriving in Marc​h.  Creating a unique design instead of merely replicating the JC Fin style, which dominates 95% of the industry, proved to be an arduous task.  It took one year and four design iterations before they arrived at the distinctive Ringer style.  These feature a shiny black finish with silver highlights making them pop on your vehicle like no others on the market due to their trademark round Ringer design which reflects more light than your traditional flat surface cuts.  They have also incorporated their logo machined into the centre on all four sides so it won’t wear off over time and makes it easy to determine which direction tightens or loosens, the A-Arrow turning forward tightens the turnbuckle.
