Novarossi Pit bag

Novarossi Pit bag

The Italian engine manufacturer Novarossi have released this large pit bag in their very distinctive blue colour. Featuring the Novarossi R logo in red on the front side the bag is padded and contains compartments that can be moved about or removed. The bag is 60cm x 35cm x 16cm, so it should be large enough to fit a 1/8th scale chassis or 1/10th scale touring car or just lots of racing stuff.

Panther release new Stadium Truck Tire

Panther release new Stadium Truck Tire

Panther have released a new off road tire suitable for Stadium Trucks. Called the Switch 2.0, this tire is dialed-in for indoor clay and blue groove tracks, so mostly US tracks then.

Fits 2.2” truck wheels. The Switch 2.0 center bars will give you the forward bite you need and the square lugs on the sides will give you the steering you need. Like the other Switch 2.0 designs this tire will be the hot ticket on the indoor clay and the blue grove tracks.

Panther also released a new hat too that features a flame design with the Panther logo embroidered on the front. You can check that out here.

Atomic Carbon S4 of Chris Doughty

Atomic Carbon S4 of Chris Doughty

A while back we showed you the Atomic Carbon S4 which at the time was under development and because of that we werent able to see the bodyshell which was still in the prototype stage. Well with the new season fast approaching, former European Champion Chris Doughty who will drive the S4 this year has taken some pictures of his new ride complete with the all new S4 bodyshell. Similar to the Durango bodyshell, in the fact that it has not side pods, the S4 shell features two huge air scoops at the front that will be used to rush air into the electrics to keep them cool.

View more pics of the S4 body shell here.

More products from Speed Mind, this time it is this carbon cloth effect transmitter carry bag. Available to suit most of the main brands of transmitter this case sports a foam insert that is cut out to hold the transmitter snuggly in place and protects it from bumps and bangs and there is also enough space for crystals and a spare receiver etc. The best thing about this bag though is the carbon effect finish on the outside, it looks really cool.
