Vantage Touring car stand

We havent covered any Vantage stuff before now because, besides their carbon tuned pipes, they mostly make parts for Monster Trucks and other large scale off roaders. So when i saw this beautiful piece of work, the touring car stand, i didn’t need an excuse to write about it. This stand has been moulded from carbon fibre and is therefore stiff, flat, strong and light as well as being totally bling. It features some foam pads to stop your car sliding off the shiny carbon fibre and well does everything else you want a car stand to do. Available soon.

More O’Donnell buggy pictures

O'Donnell buggy

Extreme RC magazine have some more pictures of the new O’Donnell buggy, taken at last weekends Dirt Nitro Challenge in which the car finished 2nd overall in the buggy A-main in the hands of Jared Tebo. Last week we showed you the full picture set as taken by R/C Car magazine but these 2 pictures dont have a huge watermark on them and therefore show some parts very clearly.

Much More Motor Master

Earlier today we showed you some limited edition tire warmers from Much More, well we now have some more limited editions bits from the Korean company, this time its the Motor Master that gets the seal of approval and lick of colour from Andy and Marc. Based on the original Motor Master that can run in your motors and loads of other stuff including acting as a power supply, the limited edition versions feature black LCD and come in Purple and Blue, for Andy Moore and Marc Rheinard and feature their logo on the casing, just in case you get confused.

Serpent release the 720 ’07 version

Serpent 720 â€˜07 version

On Wednesday we brought you the first pictures of the new 2007 version of the Serpent 960, well now we have info on its little brother, the 720. The 720 ’07 follows along the same lines as the 1/8th scale car in that its changes are only minor and mostly involve the inclusion of previous optionals now as standard. The 2007 version 720 will come with black chassis plate, front CVDs, servo saver with adjustable ackerman, nylon adjustable pivot ball nuts, upgraded fuel tank with o-ring sealed AFL lid and as an extra will include the front one-way axle along with lock set to to able to turn it into a solid front axle. All these extra parts should turn an already top performing chassis into a even better car.

Much More Limited edition tire warmers

I think everybody who reads this site knows im a big Much More fanboy and pretty much drool over all the new shiny anodised stuff that they come out with, despite never having even used any of their products. These Limited edition tire warmers have been on the Much More site for a while but until now they didn’t have any large images of them so i decided to wait before writing about them. So now we have big images, here they are, based on the original tire warmer from the Korean company the limited edition Andy Moore version comes in his now trademark purple whilst Marc Rheinard gets his blue version. Both versions come with a black LCD screen and sport their respective racers logos and apart from that theres not much else to write about them

THS Racing TempDriver

I was looking briefly through this months RC Driver magazine and stumbled accross an advert for this, the TempDriver from THS Racing, and i thought it was interesting enough to have a closer look at. What is it? Well its a merging of two very essential tools, your temp gun and your long neck tuning screw driver. The handle is made from aluminium and contains the temperature gauge and its display whilst the other end is the screwdriver, simply point the handle at the motor as per normal, check the reading and adjust accordingly using the same tool. Is it better than two seperate tools, i dont know, it really depends on the quality of the product but its certainly thinking outside the box, and i like that.

First Pictures – O’Donnell Buggy

O'Donnell Buggy

Ok, so we are not claiming to have the first pictures of the O’Donnell buggy but that these pictures we have here are the first of the buggy that Jared Tebo has helped develop along with the O’Donnell team. Whether this buggy would ever be finished has been questioned many times but now as you can see its near completion and R/C Car magazine have gotten the scoop and judging by the oversized watermark they have on all the photos, they are very proud of that fact and so they they should be. What you can see of the buggy, underneath the watermark, is a very refined and nicely finished buggy with C-hubs, carbon shock towers front and rear, very beefy suspension arms and the option of gold anodised machined shock towers, it looks good.
