As seen in our report from the Toy Fair, RB have launched its own line of cleaning putty. Similar to others on the market, it will allow you to easily remove oil residue and dust from tires that may stay stuck to your engine and other parts of the car. Flexible and efficient, the cleaning putty is delivered in a handy box which will preserve all the properties of the gum.

Seen in our Toy Fair coverage, RB have now released their new front bearing protector, the Engine Protect. Front bearings are not 100% sealed and let dust get inside the engine, causing both the bearing and engine to suffer and wear out prematurely thus creating many problems as compression loss, flaming out and expensive repair costs. RB studied this problem and developed the engine protect, a machined and treated steel disc that only weights 2.4 grams and fits most .21 and .28 engines. Recommended for buggy, truggy and 1/8 On-Road on a soaking wet track, it protects the bearing by preventing dust from getting in, thus increasing engine life and performance.
