Losi Shock O-ring grease

Losi Shock O-ring grease

Losi’s new shock o-ring grease is a high grade synthetic grease that has special additives to lubricate silicone o-rings without making them swell and cause drag on the shock shaft. The unique formula is not effected by silicone liquid so it stays on, in between and around the shock o-rings preventing wear and unwanted friction. This is also very good when used between two moving surfaces such as servo savers and the like. The handy tool box sized tube holds a generous 8cc of grease and a screw on cap to prevent accidental spills.

Smokem Racing TRF416 steering brace

Smokem Racing TRF416 steering brace

Smokem Racing has released a carbon fibre steering brace for the TRF416-series touring cars. A common tuning trick on the TRF416 is to remove the factory aluminum steering bridge to increase front end flex for more steering. But in certain cases, this can make the steering too sensitive and decrease stability. Made from 2.25mm carbon fire, the 416 Steering Brace gives you the perfect compromise of more steering but still awesome stability. Similar custom fabricated steering braces have been used by TRF drivers with great success and now Smokem Racing brings this tuning part to all TRF416 racers.

Xray Narrow Aluminium pinion gears

Xray Narrow Aluminium pinion gears

Xray have introduced their new line of narrow pinions, manufactured on a specially-modified precision gear machine which has ultra-precise tolerances and assures unparalleled concentricity. After machining, the edges of pinions are chamfered and then the pinions are run in and then specially treated to give them an even hardcoating so they stay absolutely true for a long time. The pinions run great with any spur gears, and work perfectly with Xray spur gears where even throttle on/off noise nearly disappears. These new 40T, 42T, 44T, 46T, 48T and 50T 64-pitch narrow high-performance pinion gears are manufactured from special lightweight aircraft duraluminium are 1.5mm thinner and 25% lighter than the regular-size pinion gears.
