Avid D413 hard-anodised aluminium chassis set

Avid have released a first image of their forthcoming aluminium chassis set for the Hot Bodies D413 4WD buggy. The chassis set will feature an updated ballast weight system and an optional floating servo mount as known from the electric touring cars. Unlike the World Championship winning Avid B44.2 aluminium chassis set, the D413 will utilise a rotated front ballast position to add steering compared to the B44.2’s centralised position that will increase stability, hindering steering agility.
