Avid Aura bearing line
Avid have introduced their new Aura bearing line. Taking what they learned from their rear ceramic engine bearings they shrunk that technology down to offer the most advanced bearings to be used in the gearbox of popular 2wd 10th scale off-road vehicles. These bearings have no seals, a high speed nylon ball retainer, SiN34 ceramic balls, tighter tolerances and high-speed oil and was developed for the racers that enjoy maintaining their equipment and don’t mind spending a little extra to have the best performance available. They are not stopping with just gearbox kits either and will be rolling out the Aura bearing with different seal options for those that would like to use them throughout their whole vehicle. Bearing kits are currently available for a wide range of 2wd buggies.
