Gio Racing LPC Clutch

German company Gio Racing, set up by Italian Giovanni Petrocelli, have released this new LPC Clutch which is suitable for both the Motonica and Mugen chassis’. Moving away from heavy steel parts Gio Racing have made the LPC clutch from exotic materials such as titanium, magnesium and ergal which mean the clutch is more responsive thanks to its lighter weight, yet is very durable as was proven at the recent Wiesbaden 3 hours that was one by Robert Will using this very same clutch system. The full set costs EUR100 and every clutch is made to order so if you want one expect to wait a short while after ordering to finally receive it.

RBMods STS D21T MK II buggy motor

Last week we showed you the new D21T MKII buggy motor from STS Racing and it seems that now you can get a RBMods version which, aside from some hand tuning work to the liner, features some hardening and rust proofing work done to the crankshaft.

A reverse osmosis procedure bringing you the best of all the other mods out on the market, Yes sir we have come full circle with this one folks. Just take a look at the picture attached Notice how some engines loose power and start acting up after some of the nasty fuels we use? It is the crank rusting up and sending rust particles through your engine, Of coarse you know this would have a adverse affect we all do not want. Dr. Rick has come up with the cure and better yet without raising the prices.

OS Speed VZB V-Spec Alu

Neo Buggy have some news from World Champion engine maker O.S. about their new 3.5cc VZB V-Spec Alu headed buggy engine. The engine appears to be the same as the magnesium headed VZB, however features a more conventional aluminium head for those racers wanting the power of the V-Spec but on a tighter budget. The headâ€™s styling also differs from the distinctive magnesium version as a result of the heat conduction characteristics of aluminium, which mean a smaller diameter can be used, and also allows for a new engine head shape. The weight difference is also kept to a minimum with the alu head only 25g heavier than the Magnesium version.
