AVID RC B5/B5M Battery Thumbwheels

Tony Phalen October 23, 2014 Latest News and Reviews 205 Views

Team Associated’s B5 and B5M include little blue thumbwheels that you unscrew to remove the battery. These work great but could us a little pizazz. AVID RC has released an upgraded set of thumbscrews that are half the weight of the original screws and come with o-rings to keep them from loosening up.

I’ve got a set on order; I can’t wait to give these a try! They look cool!
