Avid B4 aluminium steering bellcranks are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, black anodized, and laser etched for a premium look. Each package includes 1 left and 1 right bellcrank which replace the plastic servo saver and bellcrank on any B4, B4.1, T4, T4.1, and SC10. These aluminium bellcranks eliminate flex in the steering system for maximum steering feel. They also eliminate the plastic servo saver which can fail and cause DNFs. 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.

Seen at last weekend’s Euro Touring Series Rd2 in Italy, Schumacher have officially launched their new Mi4CXL 1/10th Competition Touring Car. The Mi4CXL is the latest version of the highly successful Schumacher Mi4 touring car range. Now with 2 British national titles, numerous European and World event wins including the ETS Pro Stock Championship, the CXL takes winning to the next level. Schumacher’s World Championship winning design team, with the help of top drivers such as Chris Grainger and Martin Hofer have improved the Mi4CX chassis design, making a car that is faster, yet easier to drive than ever before. Mi4CXL drivers will reduce their lap times and improve their positions in both qualifying and race conditions.
