Trinity Drake glow plugs

Trinity Drake glow plugs

The master of off road, Adam Drake, knows a thing or two about engines and so has released this new line of Glow Plugs for his Trinity Platinum Series engines. Available in both turbo and standard non turbo versions, they are only available in one heat type, but fit all engines and another thing is that they are not just sold as a single plug, but you can buy them in packs of 4, thus saving you money.

Serpent SPP support disk for Centax 3

Serpent SPP support disk for Centax 3

Serpent have announced the release of this new SPP aluminium clutch shoe support disk for the Centax-III clutch system. This lightweight part has a larger diameter than the standard support disk and therefore removes all possibility of the clutch flyweights getting stuck behind the disk and causing the clutch system to stop working or from even coming out of the clutch completely.

RB Concept C6BB 7T engine

RB Concept C6BB 7T

RB Products, the French engine makers, have announced the release of their new RB Concept C6BB 7T 3.5cc buggy motor. This new engine has made thousands of hours of testing at the hands of RB team drivers to prove its new turbo combustion chamber, which improves the overall power of the engine, and 7mm venturi to help improve traction, which all comes together to provide a wide power band with incredibly smooth acceleration. With these features, the fuel consumption drops and the drivability is increased, especially on low traction tracks.

Team Orion CRF Exhaust Systems

We showed you a spyshot of the new #2647 CRF exhaust pipe from Team Orion a month ago and now we have the first full pics of the exhaust set that that pipe comes in as well as the individual items. These new EFRA approved pipes are available in 2 different sets, one has a short conical manifold for high speed and the other a long conical manifold for high torque. These pipe sets are a must for the CRF .12 WASP engines and it was this pipe set that allowed Adrien Bertin to achieve his 107kmh at the Melzo track in Italy. Expect to see these items in the shops very soon.
