Team Powers have announced the soon release of an updated version of their multi-functional car stand. The Version 2 car stand again includes a range of handy setup tools such as chassis support blocks, a droop gauge, camber gauge and turnbuckle wrench that can all be stored within the car stand, but the tool also allows to measure and inspect BRCA and ISTC wing dimensions as well as 115mm ISTC body height.

The ride height gauge offers a 3.8mm to 7.5mm range in 0.2mm increments, the droop gauge allows to measure 4mm to 6.5mm droop settings in 0.5mm increments, the camber gauge has a 1.5 degree to 3 degree range and the turnbuckle tool is usable with 3mm and 4mm turnbuckles.

RC-Project introduce new 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

Coming soon from RC-Project from Italy are new shock standoffs for HB Racing, Mugen, SWorkz and Team Associated 1/8th off-road kits. The standoffs are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material with the design of the standoff increasing the surface between the shock cap bushing and shock mount, meaning less wear to all parts involved. A hard-coat finish and teflon treatment further enhance parts life. The standoffs, that are available separately for the front and rear, come with colour-matching shims specific to each vehicle and they also include high-quality mounting screws.

Arrowmax chassis balancing tool

Coming from Arrowmax is their new-generation chassis balancing tool. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the tool allows to check and adjust left-to-right chassis balance by placing the race-ready chassis on top of the pins using the small dimples or holes found in the front and rear of most competition chassis. An imbalanced chassis will be visible by hanging to one side with optional balance weights allowing to bring the chassis in balance again. Adjusting the chassis balance will make for a more predictable car and the tool is usable with most of today’s on-road and off-road kits.
