Imbue introduce a long-life slipper pad grease for off-road and on-road vehicles. Applied to the contact surface of the slipper pads and slipper plates, the grease reduces slip-friction and operating temperatures in order to prevent the dreaded pad glazing. Reduced maintenance time and a smoother, longer lasting slipper action are the result. The grease comes 2ml syringes for easy application.

Exotek have new optional parts available in the form of a direct spur mount for the Kyosho RB6 as well as alloy wing buttons for a range of 1/10th off-road buggies. Starting with the direct spur mount, the slipper eliminator hub fits all RB6 series buggies and truck including the RT6 and SC6 and it is best used in stock class and oval racing where a slipper is not necessarily needed. The lower weight makes for a cooler running motor and the design of the hub let drivers use all Kimbrough-standard spur gears. Due to the simple mounting swapping the hub for the slipper is an easy task when conditions call for it.

Overall the Blockbuster looks to be of quite an “edgy” design comparable to the gnarly Desert Militia bodyshell. Full information will become available very soon.
