After witnessing too many Kyosho rear axle failures the team at Avid got to work on designing a solution. After much time in the lab studying the stock design they came up with the new Avid Kyosho Heavy Duty Long Rear Axle Kit. The HD long rear axle conversion fits the RB5, RB6, and Lazer ZX-5 buggies along with Ultima SC short course trucks. To make things even better, Avid has been able to keep costs so low that they’ll be offering a pair of their heavy duty replacement axles for the same price as just one kit axle!
