ReveD alu spur gear holder

Japanese RC Drift manufacturer ReveD has introduced a new aluminium spur gear holder that can be attached to RDX and MC-1. It can be used when changing the spur gear from the RDX kit standard configuration. The spur gear is sandwiched between a lightweight aluminium separate type holder with SE (Shining Edge) processing, and it uses a centre lock method that secures it with a single aluminium nylon nut. The 4-point positioning method eliminates the need to worry about centering the spur gear, allowing for quick spur gear replacement.

The Racetec 3P features an alloy/composite 2 needle carburettor. A long low speed needle ensures solid idling, smooth transition to high rpms and solid return to idle. While maximising mileage along the way. A built in heat isolator ensures consistent needle settings and no heat soak. 6.5mm venturi is included. The combustion chamber has been optimised for 20%-30% race fuel. By producing big power with lower nitro content, mileage can increase dramatically.

Avid TLR 13mm Shock Bodies

Coming from Avid are these 13mm shock bodies for the TLR 22 and 22X-4 1:10 buggies. The shocks offer TLR racers the plush feeling of the larger bodies while utilising all your other G3 components. The larger 13mm body allows for less volume displacement under compression which allows for a much more predictable feeling on the track. This is why Avid have included (2) 2.0mm thin blank pistons for you to get going. With the piston face being larger at 13mm, this requires more oil to be moved so the standard piston configuration of 2×1.5 in the front and 2×1.6 in the rear does not work the same.
