Back in stock with Avid RC. As Amainhobbies seem to take their time, I ordered directly with Avid instead despite their more expensive international shipping; I am sick of waiting!

Carbon? Oh man. I bought two of the original model but would totally have gotten carbon if they had them out.
I'll sell one of my Avid Centering kits if someone wants it...has one run on it and includes a Triad slipper setup, Yaiba hubs and U brace, Lunsford turnbuckles and attached B4.2. Just $175 shipped.

Just finished installing my motor centering kit. Although the shaft is a little bent, it doesn't affect function. The spur gear runs straight without any wobbling at all. Can't wait to try it out!

This bent top shaft thing just shouldn't happen, I love AVID products but I seriously can't believe that they don't package that top shaft better and that they haven't changed the packaging having had reports of bent shafts. As easily as that thing bends put a tube around it so shipping damage is less likely.

I just installed the centering kit. Here is a close up and long view of it installed. Without the centering kit, my car was 12gr heavier on the left side, The left rear wheel was heavier than the right rear wheel, and the right front was heavier than the left front. After installing the centering kit, the right rear axle is now only 1.5 gr heavier than the left. The right front axle is 14.3 gr heavier than the left, but I have to make sure both left and right side front springs have equal spring rates. If they do, then a minor collar adjustment should equalize both sides... I have always tried to build a side-to-side balanced car. In the past, I have always used lead weight to balance the car, but the mass of the motor, motor plate, spur gear, and clutch would still no be centered. I think centering all of that mass is a better solution.
