Arrowmax 2.5 million cSt silicone fluid

Coming from Arrowmax is their new 2.5 million cSt pure silicone fluid for the use in front gear differentials of touring cars. The ultra high viscosity fluid is recommended in place of putty in the front diffs of today’s electric touring cars and other vehicles. Testing has found the performance and especially the consistency to be superior when running limited slip diffs compared to a spool axle or putty-locked diffs. The fluid comes in a handy can and it is available from now on.

Infinity IF14-2 PRS rear suspension kit

Coming from Creation Model and made for the Infinity IF14-2 touring car is the PRS Passive Rear Steering suspension kit. The set will create a reactive toe adjustment upon cornering when the chassis roll leads to toe angle changes which can help to find more corner speeds and control, especially when running with modified motors and on outdoor tracks. The amount of toe angle change can be fine-tuned via the toe rod angle and with the help of different thickness shims. The set includes all needed parts such as rear lower arms, hubs, C-hubs and mounting hardware.

Coming from Xray and made for their XB4’20 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a 83mm ECS front driveshaft.

Vigor carbon fibre mid motor tweak rod

Vigor have introduced their new carbon fibre tweak rod designed for mid motor touring cars. Made of a sturdy carbon fibre rod, the tool helps to remove tweak from chassis and bulkhead assemblies by loosening the bulkhead and top deck screws, pressing down the tweak rod onto the front and rear shock tower, and tightening the bulkhead clamp and top deck screws. The result is a chassis with minimal tweak which results in a more predictable on-track performance. A machined slot in the rod makes way for the spur gear of mid motor touring cars, allowing to use the rod even with today’s ultra low profile shock towers.
