Triad Wing Buttons

Triad Wing Buttons were designed after the success of our other 8th and 10th scale lineup. Coming in at 0.3g each (half the weight of our current 10th button), they are easily the lightest metal button on the market. But we didn't stop there because we added nice silver highlights and laser etched our logo to make them even more desirable. When it comes to accessories such as wing buttons and wheel nuts, we know racers like to customize for their personal paint schemes so we are offering these in black, blue, red, green, pink, orange, hard anodize, and purple.

The Triad Wing Buttons are designed for use with an M3 flat head screw which is common on both 8th and 10th scale vehicles.

Aluminum anodized, silver cut highlights, and the Avid logo laser etched.

Titanium Pivot Ball | 5.8mm | 4 Pack

Avid Titanium Pivot Balls are M3 threaded with a 3mm hex on the end for easy installment. Racers like to use these in order to remove the weight up high for a lower CG due to the stock kits typically supplying steel balls. These come in at 0.36g/ea where stock Xray steel balls are 0.70g/ea.

Broached with a 3mm allen head on outer side for easy installation and removal.
