JC Racing Products liner removal tool

JC Racing Products have introduced their new liner removal tool for the use with .21 nitro engines. It features an outer tube which has a diameter of 15.80 mm with a sprung latch which locates in the exhaust port. When offered into the liner, a second plunger is inserted down the centre of the outer tube to positively hold the latch in a closed position – this helps with removal of liners which can become tight over time compared to when the engine is new from oil residue. The tool has been tested on bores from 16.20mm to 16.50mm and will remove liners which are smaller or greater than these sizes on engines such as Sirio, O.S., Werks, Reds Racing and similar. The tool is 3-D-printed in a high quality fibre impregnated nylon giving it excellent mechanical strength and durability.

Mugen MBX8/T +2 & +4 RF arm mounts

Coming from Mugen and made for their MBX8 and MBX8T kits are +2 and +4 RF suspension mounts. The +2 suspension hanger will improve the cars ability to glide over bumps while freeing up the rear end a little bit for smoother cornering. The +4 arm mount will further improve rough track handling, however it is only recommended for higher grip tracks as it increases rear end rotation. Both arm mounts are made of high-quality aluminium and they come anodised in Mugen’s signature blue-grey-ish colour.
