Revolution Design titanium front axle & clamping hex

Saving weight, adding durability, and increasing adjustment options is high on the list of every racer. The one-piece aluminium front axles of Team Associated’s B6.2 are very light already, but can be bent by hard impacts and offer no track width adjustment options as seen on the buggies of the competition. Their truck counterparts are made of steel for added durability, but still have a fixed track width and off-set, and increase unsprung weight. RDRP’s titanium wheel axles come with 5mm aluminium clamping hexes for the B6 series and 8.5mm versions for their stadium and short course truck brothers. Both axle types accept the readily available Associated 1/10th scale wheel hexes for even more variety.
