RB range of Silicone oils

RB have launched its high quality silicone oil range for differentials and shock absorbers. Tests have been carried out on dusty and wet tracks but also on different shock absorbers brands. The result is that these 100% silicone oils remain constant and reach professional quality standards. This very wide range starts from grade 100 until 500000. Big volume shock absorbers have become the most common today so it was necessary to provide a bigger packaging. The large 110ml bottle allows them to decrease production costs in order to maintain a reasonable price for consumables.

Hudy 1/10 Touring Set-up wheels

New from Hudy are these CNC-machined premium-quality aluminium set-up wheels for electric and nitro 1/10 tourin, which allows for perfect, precise and repeatable set-up adjustment and tweak correction. Precision-machined to exacting tolerances, each alu set-up wheel in a set is perfectly matched. When checking tweak on a rubber-tired touring car, using standard rubber tires typically gives non-precise and non-repeatable measurements. Rubber tires are never perfectly rounded, so when checking tweak one tire can lift earlier than another but this does not always indicate a tweaked car. Tire roundness and insert weight is different from one tire to the next. Also when checking tweak on a foam-tired touring car, the differences between tires are even greater than with rubber tires. Each foam tire has a different diameter after each run due to tire wear, making it impossible to check for tweak because the tires can give very misleading results. In this case the alu set-up wheels are the best tool for checking tweak.
