Avid add colour to their wing buttons & wheel nuts

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.

Exotek T5 & DEX210 Flite titanium front axles

Exotek have new Flite-series titanium front axles for the Team Associated T5 and the Team Durango DEX210 available. Starting with the Team Associated part, the precision machined front axles weigh in at only 5g a pair while stock axles are 11g meaning a significant reduction of rotational mass as well as unsprung weight. The axles are nearly as strong as steel and they come in a polished finish for added looks. Also new are titanium wheel axles for the Team Durango DEX210 buggy. Offering a 12mm hex and an offset design the shafts allow to use standard B5 front wheels. Like the T5 Flite axles they significantly reduce unsprung weight and rotational mass compared to steel axles and they come machined to an eye-catching finish.

110% Racing ride height gauge

The new 110% Racing ride height gauge has been designed to be simple and easy to use and it covers heights from 16mm to 30mm in 1mm increments, simply by switching between the five durable moulded plastic plates that are included, which means this ride height gauge is easily adjusted for most off-road vehicles. The aluminium shaft in the middle was designed to be long enough to allow to slide the ride height gauge under the car easily without bumping any other parts, to get a fast and accurate ride height check. The plastic plates included in the package are triangular to get three different ride heights on each plate. When there is a need to switch out plates, it’s easily done with one screw on the end of the shaft.
