CS Electronic ball bearing oil

CS Electronic have been in touch to tell us about their newly released line of synthetic ball bearing oils for different applications. In order of left to right, the first 25ml bottle contains a very thin oil for high performance general purpose ball bearings, the middle bottle contains oil suitable for use with bearings in motors and works well under high temperatures, in fact it becomes more fluid when heated. Finally on the right, this oil works best under high pressure, reducing friction where applied, even under the heaviest pressure. All oils are available now.

Thermal Cooling System – Review

Thermal Cooling System

Back in March we were sent a link to a review of the TCS, Thermal Cooling System, which we showed you back in October of last year when it was first announced. We didnt write about the review at the time because we dont normally cover product write ups and as it was in French we decided it had limited appeal. Now it appears that the review has been translated into English and makes for some interesting reading, especially if you suffer from overheating motors as it appears that the system works very well, so be sure to check it out.

Check out the product review here.

Guya modular Circuit chassis

Guya Modular chassis

We were sent a link about this car today and while i dont think it can be considered a competition car, it is so bizarre it deserves a mention. The concept of the Italian made Guya, is that those among us who cant decide between a 1/8th or 1/10th scale circuit car can purchase the Guya which will serve all your needs. Tired of racing 1/8th scale, loosen a few nuts, slide the chassis closed, screw in the wishbones, instant 200mm, prefer to race a 2wd or even an electric powered car, again no problem this car has it all. While the car features inboard suspension and a lay down engine, it is more of an engineering excercise than a viable product, and so we will give the maker credit for some new thinking, even if it is to find a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist.

We wrote about some newly released products from German brand Orcan only last week, and now they have released 2 more products,exhaust systems to be exact. Manufactured by German company Mielke, the first exhaust system you see above is for .12 on road motors and has been designed to work best with Novarossi based engines, enhancing engine durability and performance.
