Capricorn 1/8 ‘reverse’ on road clutch

Capricorn have released their new 1/8 ‘reverse’ on road clutch. After various tests by Capricorn drivers, this new configuration that follows the current trend which sees a flat flywheel and tapered clutch shoe plate makes the clutch more progressive with good initial engagement. The weight of the flywheel is only 5.3grams which saves engine power and Capricorn has also decided to reduce the prices of all its 1/8 and 1/10 clutches.

Xray NT1 conical clutch washer spring set

Previously released for the RX8, Xray have now released these conical clutch washer springs for the NT1 clutch. These spring washers offer more consistent clutch operation for maximum punch. When using the standard spring, after the clutch is set for the first time the spring becomes deformed over time and needs retightening. This new conical clutch washer spring set allows the clutch to retain its setting for a very long time without needing readjustment.

New from Axial Racing to set your Wraith up for high speed rock racing, or Recon G6 Challenge style events is this front and rear sway bar kit. Designed for high speed this system will let you soften up your suspension for jumps, while keeping torque twist and body lean to a minimum during acceleration.

Each sway bar lever is made from CNC machined black anodized aluminium and each kit includes three different steel sway bars (soft, medium and firm) for fine tuning body roll and suspension articulation. All required hardware is also included.
