New Avid RC B7 Adjustable Front Axle

Press Release From Avid RC:
www.avidrc.com

These Avid B7 Adjustable Front Axles allow you to finally adjust your track width without needing different axles, hexes, or carbon shims. With our system you can adjust your track width from 4mm up to 7.5mm with the included shims. The axles are made from 6AL-4V titanium and the hexes/shims are 6061-T6. 

Information

• With wheels getting so thin at the hex depth, using a carbon track width spacer is now maxed out at 1mm which isn't a lot of adjustment and we just got tired of losing them. This solves that.
• You can now narrow the car down to 4mm which can be helpful on very tight dirt tracks with quick transitions.
  
• With the system including (2) 0.5, (2) 1.0, and (2) 2.0mm shims, you can finally adjust easily down to the 0.5mm without having to have several hexes and track width spacers.
  
• To adjust the width, just take the hex off and change the shims!

Installation

• First thing you need to do is figure out what track width you want to run. The B7D comes with 5mm and the B7 comes with 6.5mm axles. The hex on our system is 4mm so that is where you have to start your math. We made the shims grey so they should be easier to see. For example, if you want to run 5.5mm, then you will need to add (1) 1.0 and (1) 0.5mm. 
• This is a crush system so you should install most of the components from the threaded side of the axle, we will be doing the example from above of 5.5mm width. 
  
  • Put your 5x10x4 bearing onto the axle first.
  • Now (1) 1.0mm and (1) 0.5mm shim on.
  • Put on the hex, press it all together, and tighten it up.
  • Press in the other bearing into the back of your steering block.
  • Insert the axle assembly into the steering block and then into the other bearing.
    
  • Lastly tighten it all up with the M3x6 steel screw.
  • Check the image below to better explain it.
