Arrowmax 10th anniversary limited edition tools

From Arrowmax come their 10th anniversary limited edition tools. Sporting new features such as an improved CNC machined aluminium handle, smaller hexagonal holes and higher resistance materials used for the tips are designed for racers to work on their tasks on hand with maximum comfort. This ergonomic tool is designed to let racers engage in repetitive motions comfortably for long hours wrenching on their cars, be it before a race meet or after the race for maintenance. The sizes on the signature honeycomb holes have been reduced to provide a sleeker look, but also to provide better grip and comfortability. The use of these new materials for the tips have increased its durability by 300% with the exterior of the tips special-coated. The tips are 110mm in length and are available in 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm versions.

Element RC Enduro Builder’s Kit 2

Element RC have updated the Enduro Builder’s Kit 2 by including their GKSTM shock towers in front and rear. Their shock mount inserts provide the ability to adjust shock angle, droop and vehicle ride height without affecting spring preload. Matched up with the shock mount inserts are their race-proven, ultra-smooth Factory Team bronze shocks with black caps and collars, perfect for traversing rough terrain. Along with the updated shock towers, they’ve included the GKS aluminium track bar mount that is bolted directly to the frame rails. This makes the front suspension more rigid and flex-free with a more precise steering feel. Also included are updated Factory Team 12.3-inch wheelbase high-clearance links with black nitrate finish and low-friction Delrin pivot balls, which are more resistant to abrasion and friction wear. You get all these new features along with our revolutionary Stealth X transmission with the ability to adjust the front and rear drive ratios independently across three different levels. In the box you get both the 5.7% and 11.83% overdrive gears, and available separately is a one-to-one ratio option for those who wish to drive the front and rear equally. The behind-the-axle (BTA) steering greatly improves approach angle and front end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.

Available as a set for the front as well as one for the rear, including the carbon rear lay down body mount.

Revolution Design T6.2 body mount stiffener set

Stadium trucks are fun to drive and durable, not least because the body protects the parts that are exposed on a 2WD buggy. Of course, this comes at a price, and stadium trucks bodies usually don’t last as long as their little brothers. For Team Associated’s latest entry to the category, help has arrived in form of the Revolution Design T6.2 body mount stiffener set. Precisely machined carbon fibre stiffeners brace the body mounts against the impacts of involuntary tough landings, thus reducing stress on the polycarbonate body. As a side effect, body clips tend to stay in place much better, which aids to solve another regular issue of stadium trucks.

1up Racing LowPro UltraLite wing washers

Designed for off-road use, these new 1up Racing LowPro ultraLite wing washers feature a smooth, low-profile design without any cutouts that pick up dirt during less-than-perfect landings. The oversized 16mm outer diameter is preferred by factory drivers as it reduces wing flex, aiding in rear-end stability. Precision machined from 7076-T6 aluminium and finished with dark black anodising and mirror-like chamfers for exceptional looks and durability. These also look killer on drag cars using screws to secure the body and the low-profile design improves aerodynamics.

RC Maker MTC2 brass roll centre shim plates

RC Maker have introduced their all new brass roll centre shim plates for the Mugen MTC2. Changing roll centres on your MTC2 has never been easier, rather than undoing the whole screw and having shims flying everywhere, simply loosen the screw, slide the shim plate out, and install the new roll centre shim plate, and re-tighten the screws. With the ever demanding focus on weight distribution and adding additional weight down low on the mid motor platforms, they decided to produce brass shim plates in the most common thicknesses used today, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm. This gives you a great range of roll centre options to choose from, whilst being able to move weight around your car to adjust the front/rear weight bias.
