Tuning Haus precision thread-on setup wheels

Coming from Tuning Haus and designed on cooperation with Randy Caster are thread-on setup wheels for 1/10th touring cars. Coming in a set of four wheels they help to get critical adjustments like camber and toe-in just right as they keep variances like wheel, insert and tyre diameter out of the equation. Different from other setup wheels the Tuning Haus parts further simplify the process by threading directly onto the axle; eliminating the need for a separate wheel nut. They are perfect for the use with 1/10 touring cars, Formula chassis, drift cars, and others with 4mm threaded axles. Manufactured from billet aluminium and anodised black, they feature durable rubber O-rings and come packed in a convenient storage case.

Coming this Winter is Yokomo’s all-new 190mm 1/10th Formula pan car kit. The yet nameless car will use a newly designed 2.5mm main chassis specially developed for shorty battery packs.

Included in the kit is also a large volume centre shock absorber and a 7075 duraluminium motor pod. More information will become available in November with the kit being set to hit the stores in the second week of December.

Starting with the buggy engine, R21 Racing Team V2 is the evolution of the popular buggy 3-port racing team and it received some subtle updates such as a black-coated 60mm diameter cooling head for improved heat dissipation and lower running temperatures. Also new is a redesigned piston that leads to a higher RPM range. The case is black coated for a better heat dissipation and the head now features a 60mm diameter, same as the company’s factory versions for a lower running temp and increased mileage while a newly designed piston ensures higher revs.

McPappy Racing Helping Hands third hand tool

McPappy Racing have introduced the Helping Hands third hand tool. Designed to hold a wide range of items during soldering, glueing, painting or polishing, the two main components are the three-jointed articulating friction arm and the mini vise. One knob completely releases all three joints including the twist on both ends. Each end has the industry standard 1/4″-20 threads that lets you directly bolt on other things such as a desktop microphone mount, GoPro mount, or web cam holder. The mini vise features two polished tool steel rods, and a custom turnbuckle with left and right-hand threads so it opens and closes twice as fast as a screw. Holes in the jaws for the included steel dowel pins allowing to hold odd shaped items. V-slots were machined into the lower vise jaws to hold straight items like screws and rods in either direction. The hobby vise is made from 7075 aluminium for a light weight, heat sink capabilities and to don’t scratch other metals. The tool comes as a single arm item but an upgrade kit allows to make it into a dual arm version later

Zen Racing 1/12th pan car slot pivot

New from Zen Racing and made for a range of 1/12th scale pan cars is the slot pivot. Sporting the same footprint as the standard Team Associated centre pivot, it takes only seconds to install and forget about. Due to the open design the pivot ball is free to move forwards and backwards in roll, reducing the locking effect and on top of that in the event of a crash it simply resets, doing away with tweak issues.

Reedy 5200mAh 55C 4S LiPo battery pack

Reedy have a new 4S 14.8V high-performance LiPo battery pack for 1/8th scale applications available. Even though there is a nearly 10 percent increase in capacity compared to its predecessor, there is no increase in weight, which makes it easy to achieve perfect left/right weight distribution in a typical 1/8th e-Buggy. Low-resistance 5mm power sockets offer great convenience while a durable hard case protects the battery from damage. Three 2mm balance ports allow for balance charging using the included balance charge harness and the pack also included two 5mm sockets.
