110% Racing RC Sweat shock O-ring lubricant

Following the RC Blood multi-functional grease RC 110% Racing have now introduced RC Sweat, a lubricant ideal to prevent the seals of shock absorbers from swelling. One of the biggest issues with shock absorbers is that the shock O-rings will swell up from the silicone shock oil, which will cause the shocks to bind up, completely taking away their smoothness and consistency. Using the RC Sweat lube during building and maintenance will not only keep the seals from swelling but the grease will also make for silky smooth shock action over a longer period of time.

JTP RB6 front shock tower & merchandise

New from JTP, the brand of multi-time US National and 2013 IFMAR World Champion Jared Tebo, comes a carbon fibre front shock tower for the Kyosho RB6 as well as two new T-shirts. Starting with the shock tower, the part was designed and tested by Jared himself and it is of slightly other dimensions than the stock shock stay to allow for an alternative front geometry. The part is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it was designed to offer a better front end feeling through corners and over obstacles as it improves the uptravel of the suspension. The shocks need to be converted to LA43 long shock ends and the tower is up for grabs now. Also new are two T-shirts, the black Race To Win and the blue Strike shirt. Both 100 percent cotton premium Next Level tees are screen printed in the USA and, like the shock tower, available here.

Arrowmax 1/10th on-road aluminium wing mounts

Arrowmax have new aluminium wing mounts for 1/10th on-road vehicles available. Machined from aluminium and sporting the Arrowmax logo the plates offer a larger mounting surface than most of the standard wing mounting hardware supplied with the bodyshells. This makes for a more sturdy rear wing mounting as the plates are of a 2-screw design and yet small enough to not disturb the air flow. Coming including mounting hardware the mounts are available in purple, orange and gray colour.
