The American company’s signature 1up badge logo rests on the right sleeve to cap off the design. Printed on a premium warm grey 60/40 Cotton/Polyester blend shirt, it has a soft, velvety feel that’s cozy like a flannel but doesn’t pill like one.

Ielasi Tuned Anti Vibration Kit

A simple and small idea from Ielasi Tuned is this Anti-vibration Kit dedicated for 1:8 Onroad use and their 2185Factory muffler. The kit is composed of two springs and two collars that are used to fix the muffler to the car, dampening the vibrations generated by the engine that could cause the muffler manifold to break. Depending on the length of the muffler support wire (each model has a different one) you can use either two collars or just one to fix the muffler.

With World GT-R WGT a popular class in the US, the second car release from the Wisconsin based company, which is aptly named the WGT-R, is based off much of the 1:12 car and is due to go on sale in around 3 weeks time – some of the car’s metal parts still in production. With Excelerate RC a partnership between Ken Lupi and veteran racer & car designer Josh Cyrul, it originally started out around 1-year ago to produce RC Drag racing tyres. Racing 1:12 himself at the NYGP, Cyrul said the WGT-R is essentially a big version of their 1:12. Like the Prodigy 1:12, it features a stiff high grip 2.5mm Aluminium chassis with a steel roll plate and steel pivot plate helping to lower the car’s centre of gravity.
