Avid B4 Aluminium Bellcranks for the AE 2WD Off-Road Platform

Avid-RC-AV1000

Avid has released these aluminium steering bellcranks for the Team Associated 2WD buggies and trucks. They are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, black anodised and laser etched for a premium look. Each package includes one left and one right bellcrank which replace the plastic servo saver and bellcrank on any B4, B4.1, T4, T4.1 and SC10. The Avid B4 aluminium steering bellcranks are a must-have upgrade for any serious racer as they eliminate flex in the steering system for maximum steering feel. They also eliminate the plastic servo saver which can fail and cause DNFs.
According to the Xtreme RC Cars, the single biggest improvement in lap times to a short course RTR was to lock the servo saver. Flex in the steering system is one of your biggest enemies, especially in heavier short course trucks which have larger, heavier tyres.
Associated ace Ryan Maifield installed the Avid bellcranks on his B4 and went on to take the win at the Winter Midwest Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
