Factory Team B7 HD 69mm Universals | Vented Slippers

New from Factory Team are these much-anticipated HD 69mm Universals for the RC10B7. These universals allow for more free suspension movement as a result from less mechanical bind that is present with the conventional CVA design. They are only compatible with HRC hubs and require the use of the included 5x10x4mm bearings and crush tubes. Also new for the B7 are Vented Slipper Clutch Plates and an Aluminium Anti-Roll Bar Mount. The Vented Slipper Clutch Plates allow for debris to be flushed from the slipper pad assembly creating a more consistent slipping action. The Alu Anti-Roll Bar Mount utilises a smooth plastic bushing that allows for smooth rotation of the Anti-Roll Bar in the durable aluminium mount.

Avid XB2 ’24/25 Arm Mounts | Rear Roll Center Holder

Avid Racing Concepts is testing the market with a limited release of a number of new aftermarket parts for the Xray XB2 ’24/25 1:10 2WD Buggy. The -2° C Arm Mount was first innovated by the US company for the B6.3 and has turned into a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. This mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. Typically, to get to the low rear toe settings that you need on carpet, you have to start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your track-width.
