Axxelerate RC Tire Roller Sweep

New Swiss RC accessories brand Axxelerate RC, the same people who are behind the country’s largest indoor RC racing track AX Arena, have released this Tire Roller Sweep. The Tire Roller Sweep is a tool designed to prepare and condition tires for maximum performance on the track. By applying consistent pressure, this tool smooths and flattens the tire surface, ensuring a more even grip and reducing irregularities. This process enhances handling and tire life, which Axxelerate say makes it a must-have for serious competitors. When using new tires, excess tire glue can sometimes form uneven spots, affecting the tire’s overall performance. By rolling the tires with the Tire Roller Sweep, you can “break” the glue and ensure a uniform tire surface.

Excelerate RC Prodigy ‘F1’ 1:10 Formula Chassis

Another upcoming release from new entrant to the onroad chassis market Excelerate RC is their 1:10 Formula Chassis the Prodigy ‘F1’. Having shown us their 1:10 World GT-R contender while attending the MonTech NYGP, the Wisconsin based manufacturer also brought along their F1 which is set to go on release the first week of November. Racing at the NYGP, the designer of the Prodigy’s trio of new releases (1:12, World GT-R and F1) Josh Cyrul explained, ‘the ‘F1′ has a lot of carry over from the other cars with the kit going to come with the wings that are pictured which are eXcelerate RC’s own design. It will also include the body and halo in the kit.’ A veteran pan car racer, Cyrul added, ‘the kit will come with a solid rear axle to start with and it will be possible to use other brands gear differentials but we will have our own gear diff coming hopefully by the end of the year.’ Having planned to have the F1 out sooner, he explained, ‘One thing that slightly delayed the release was the front servo mount and rear motor plates. We didn’t realise how popular foam had become over in Europe so we wanted to make sure that right away it can also be run out of the box on foam tyres. So since the first prototype car we had to cut the servo mount brackets mounts more so their will be shims in there to lower the front and the motor plate so you’ll be able to run 55/56mm foam tyres.’
