Byron Gen2 Race Fuel

CML have been in touch to let us know that they are taking pre orders for the soon to be available Byron Gen2 Race Fuel. Byron Originals has engineered a unique and revolutionary lubrication package that is said to combine a greatly increased flow rate with improved film strengths that enhance performance while providing better lubrication qualities. Increased flow rates and increased film strengths of the Gen2 package produce less heat and less heat produces a broader and less critical needle setting while increased flow rates enable leaner needle settings that result in more laps per tank and less pitting for fuel.

Schumacher Cat SX body off shots

Schumacher Cat SX

We brought you pictures of the new Schumacher Cat SX 4wd buggy last week and as promised the British company have released some pictures showing the car with the body shell off. The first thing you notice about the car is the 3 belt drive train that is mounted very high in the car, above the battery and radio gear. This allows the motor to be mounted along the centre line and it is said to have an adjustable internal transmission ratio to optimise the car for brushed or brushless motors. Also according to the features list the motor rotates the same direction as the wheels which is said to create a car with superb jumping responsiveness and no torque steer effect, as is common with shaft drive cars.

X-Factory X-60 truck Spyshots

The guys over at Team Novi have managed to bag some shots of the new X-60 2wd prototype truck seen testing at the Cactus Classic race last weekend. The car was sporting a custom made tub chassis and was fitted with a LiPo battery pack which is perpendicular to the chassis line as opposed to in-line mounted as seen in other cars in this class, including the prototype Kyosho RB5-T. The car was said to use the X-Factory 4 gear transmission and for this test was fitted with a JConcepts body shell.
