Avid digital mini scale & aluminium heat tape

The Avid digital mini scale is a commonly used tool now in everyone’s pit arsenal, typically for filling diffs. With this 500g max weight scale you can now also measure all sorts of things such as your batteries, motors, etc. with a 0.01g accuracy. Featuring a flip cover to keep your scale protected, the LCD display is back-light for easy reading and can show multiple weighing units such as g, gn, oz, ozt, ct, t, dwt. Also new is their reinforced aluminium heat tape, which is lightweight at just 0.15mm thick, 5 meters (16.4ft) long, and 50mm (2in) wide. The strength is found from the fiberglass that is woven through the material and all rolled onto a nice handy tube. This can also be used on your body in high-wear areas such as your mudguards or even on your tank next to the pipe to help keep your tank and fuel from heat saturation.

Ruddog clear 25mm double sided tape

New from Ruddog Products comes a clear double sided tape for a wide range of applications. Coming as convenient 100cm rolls the clear silicone tape offers a comparable thickness to standard foam tapes, however it is much easier to remove from the chassis and electronics while still offering loads of bonding strength for demanding off-road and on-road applications. The somewhat thin tape keeps the electronics as low as possible for minimal influence on the car’s overall centre of gravity and at 25mm width it is ideal for speed controllers, receivers, personal transponders and many more.
