Factory Team Diff Decoder

Factory Team has released a Diff Decoder which is says is an indispensable tool for the hardcore racer. The Diff Decoder displays a consistent, measured value for differential hardness rather than relying on an estimation or feeling. This measurement can be used to build differentials to a specific hardness, fine tune to improve vehicle performance, understand the differences between oil brands and temperature, or to replicate an existing differential. The Diff Decoder’s machined aluminium body is compact and lightweight with a 5-digit LED display suitable for measurement of a wide variety of differentials. Includes three adapters: one 1:10 7mm hex to measure at the wheel, and 1:10 and 1:8 pin adapters to measure at the diff outdrive. A 5V power source is required to operate.

Rêve D Long Type Alum Suspension Mounts

Japanese RC Drift car manufacturer Rêve D is releasing a lightweight and highly rigid aluminium suspension mount series of its already available long type #8 and #9, which are ideal for the new HT rear lower arm (42mm). The lineup includes #8 for 644-676mm and #9 for 680-712mm, plus type TK for each type, totalling 4 types. The lightweight yet highly rigid suspension mount is less likely to cause alignment changes even when a load is applied while driving, and the suspension movement is more precise and stable traction is achieved. The type TK, which allows the rear upper arm to be attached to the suspension mount, creates a direct feeling in the movement of the rear suspension and improves the control performance more effectively.
