Hudy Bearing oil & Greases

Hudy have released a number of new items for lubricating moving parts on your model car. First up is high quality bearing oil that is used to lubricate bearings for ultra-smooth operation and long lifespan. Very good for use on dusty tracks and carpet tracks because it helps combat the effects of dust and carpet hair contamination, it is super thin to help promote quick penetration and fast & easy coverage. Next up is 2 different types of grease, graphite and silicone, the former is a high-performance semi-fluid lubricant which incorporate both extreme pressure additives and finely dispersed graphite for load carrying, while the silicone is seen as a general-purpose grease, formulated to provide extra protection against wear, corrosion, and water.

ST Racing Concepts wrench & pliers

ST Racing Concepts have released a number of new tools including a new wrench tool and shock shaft pliers. The 17 & 23mm wrench has been made with high quality CNC machined aluminium, is available in 3 colours, and is a must for serious nitro 1/8th scale truggy and Monster Truck racers. This is due to the lengthened neck of the 17mm wrench side to reach into the deeper offset rims while still providing enough room between the handle cross-bar, which features a 8mm wrench, and the wheel for your fingers to get a good grip. The new machined aluminium shock shaft pliers allow you to firmly hold the shock shaft in place while you thread on the shock ends, while preventing any scratching of the shock shaft.

Atomic Carbon B44 option parts

Following on from the brief piece from oOple about the Atomic Carbon S2 in which we mentioned that a new 4wd buggy was spotted, comes the first teaser pictures of that car which has turned out to be an Associated B44 with new carbon fibre option parts from Atomic Carbon. Most notable is the beautiful moulded, and machined, carbon fibre tub chassis which sports a different battery layout and radio gear configuration than the original car and also that it no longer uses an upper chassis brace, probably due to the stiffness of the tub. More information to be released soon.

Tamiya TamTech Buggy Champ – oOple

Tamiya TamTech Buggy Champ - oOple

Not something we would normally write about but as oOple have raced this car last weekend, that makes it suitable for Red RC. Called the Buggy Champ, the mini rough rider from Tamiya is based on its bigger 10th scale cousin from around 1979 or so. The overall look of the original rough rider has been kept much more so than in the previously released mini frog’s case. The main distinct feature of the Buggy Champ being the trailing front suspension which is really the only difference that separates this, the newly-designated GB02 chassis, from the GB01 used on all the other current range.
