Avid 10th wing mount buttons

Avid introduce these black colour wing mount buttons for 1/10th on-road and off-road vehicles. They were designed after Avid’s successful 8th off-road wing button, they feature a countersunk screw hole and the same contact surface as the 8th buttons for an improved fitment of the wing and less deformation, resulting in increased rear traction at high speeds. The buttons come as pair, they are CNC-machined from aluminium and laser-etched with the Avid “A” and are usable on most touring cars and off-road vehicles that use M3 screws to fasten the wing.

Tekno SCT410 LCG lightened motor mount insert

New from Tekno RC comes this lightened low centre of gravity motor mount insert for the SCT410 4WD short course truck and the EB48-SL buggy. Using the part lowers the motor by 5mm and it is usable with all Pro4 motors with standard 36mm diameter. Lowering one of the heaviest parts of the vehicle by 5mm will have a noticeable effect on handling, resulting in faster cornering and less mistakes due to traction rolling. The part is CNC machined out of 7075 aluminium, then gun metal anodised for wear.
