There is nothing worse than spending an hour assembling your diff to find out you have crunchy thrust balls. Now Associated and TLR drivers can forget about those tiny little balls, and upgrade to something more their size with the new AVID AE/TLR Differential Thrust Bearings!
AVID R/C Press Release:
Associated and TLR owners can upgrade their diff with an AVID caged diff thrust bearing. The AVID caged bearings make working on your diff much easier, and you don’t have to stress out about losing one of those tiny thrust balls. You also won’t have to get your hands covered in black grease to build the thrust assembly. AVID offers 3 types of diff thrust for varying levels of cost, maintenance, and performance.
Our tips on which thrust to use are as follows:
- Tungsten Carbide ball: This is what we recommend to most racers. The balls are more true in size and harder than steel, so they are smoother and last longer, but diff setting is still relatively easy.
- Ceramic ball: These balls are completely smooth and the hardest material we offer. This makes for the smoothest feeling, but the diff setting is the most narrow window of adjustment. Recommended for experienced racers only.
- Steel ball: This is the least expensive ($3 each) and easiest to set the diff. They do not stay smooth for as long as Tungsten Carbide or Ceramic so there is a small drop in performance for the lower price.
Fits all B4.2, T4.2, SC10.2, SC10B and previous models along with TLR 22, 22T, 22 SCT. Does not fit Kyosho. See thrust bearing product pages at
www.avidrc.com for updates to other car models that fit this size bearing.
