Pit Shark Hole shot body mounting tool

Having shown you the Pit Shark Hole shot during the first round of the Euro Touring series, the Italian company have sent us the release for their body mounting hole positioning system. As we explained there are units that go over your body posts and help the loose magnets find their exact centre when place on the uncut painted body shell. A hole in each of the magnets allows you the mark the exact centre of the post allowing you to make perfectly positioned bodies each time. 3-time World Champion also uses the Hole shot and has his own line of MR33 branded versions. Available for both 1/8th and 1/10th scale.

Racers Edge RaceCase II transporter bag

The Racers Edge SC RaceCase was inspired by the Short Course class of vehicles, but its capacity and design reach far beyond, and now it has been updated for 2011 with a removable tool tray. With the optional mid-deck installed, the RaceCase can carry two on road sedans up to 200mm. Once the mid-deck is removed it can transport an 1/8th scale buggy with the tires and wing on, comp and scale crawlers, 1/10th scale offroad trucks and buggys, and of course 1/8th and 1/10th Short Course trucks. An integrated radio compartment offers easy transmitter storage, or extra room for tires and parts, while there are also two external pockets with tough zippers for extra storage. The removable tool tray can stow seven drivers snug inside elastic loops, and can easily Velcro in and out of the bag to go to your bench or pit space at the track. Reinforced carry handles in two locations offer comfortable carrying positions no matter what you’re transporting and the shoulder strap also offers a hands free carrying position for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.

X-Factory E-Speed heatsink & fan mount

X Factory and Ellis Stafford have announced the newest E-Speed part, a heatsink and fan mount to fit all X-Cars with 4-Gear transmissions. The heatsink is a blue aluminium part that perfectly matches all the other E-Speed and Dirtz Dialed Partz from X Factory and looks great with a D.D.P. motor plate. Heat from the motor goes into the motor plate and the finned heatsink greatly aids cooling of the entire unit. All X Factory parts play well together, and the new E-Speed heatsink fits perfectly with the existing D.D.P. transmission brace. The new part also mounts a 25 mm fan in position to blow directly onto the car’s motor. The two cooling aids, heatsink and fan, are especially important in stock motor racing where modern brushless stock motors are often geared to the moon. Ellis designed the heatsink himself, as with all E-Speed parts, and like everything from X Factory, the new part is complete with a dialed fan and all the necessary hardware.
