PSM S35-3 modular hub weight set

Available now from PSM is their modular hub weight set for the SWorkz S35-3 series of off-road kits. This balance weight system will be attached to the front hub and can be equipped with up to six 4.5g weights per side. A pair per side is already included in the set with additional weight being available separately. The additional weight added to the hub creates more pressure on the wheel, which can be a traction advantage in many cases without affecting the suspension setup. Installation is simple with only two screws, making it easy to detach the parts for maintenance or setup reasons. PSM recommend using the system especially on tracks whose racing line is dry and dust free.

Vision Racing Products XV3-ST shock pistons

After a year of testing at Thornhill Raceway, Vision Racing Products have introduced the Smooth Track version of their popular 1/8th XV3 Piston, the XV3-ST. This piston design features a slightly slower rebound stroke matched with an improved “connected” compression stroke, resulting in better handling on smooth surfaces. Just like the XV3 and XV3-HT, this is another option for racers to fine tune their car’s suspension from track to track. The ST piston was designed specifically for tracks that don’t break up and remain smooth, and range from low to high grip. Featuring a Patented Design, the new ST piston is simple and easy to use. The VRP XV3-ST line of pistons are available for all the popular 1/8th vehicles in 5, 6, and 8-hole variants.
