MXLR A800R ShockVac

MXLR has released the Awesomatix A800R ShockVac, a specially designed case which holds the newly designed Awesomatix dampers in upright position to suck the air out of the case/silicone oil by using one of the popular brand Air Removers. With the all new design of these dampers its very hard to put them into the case of a normal air remover. The solution is our super slim design ShockVac. Reliable and stable positioning to fit perfectly under the upper case of the Air Remover. The solid alloy case allows a deep and lasting vacuum which is key to get all the small air bubbles out of the complex A800R dampers. Additionally it’s very handy in size which means it doesn’t take as much space on your pit table while working and is easy to store it in your race bag. The ShockVac is machined from high quality black anodised aluminium with silver edges and laser engraved MX logo. It is important to note that the upper case, the rubber sealing and the vacuum pump itself is NOT included in this set and require the parts from the RIDE or the Tamiya Air Remover set.

PIP-Aero TC235 1:10 235mm bodyshell

Started by Silvio Piperato, bodyshell newcomers PIP-Aero is ready to launch its first body the TC235 for 1:10 235mm racing. Having worked on the creation of two recently homologated 1:8 Onroad bodies, Piperato has decided to put his skills as a CAD/CAM programmer to use in the formation of PIP-Aero. His choice to enter the market with a 235mm body comes out of necessity for a upcoming new 235mm class as there are no existing bodies available for those wanting to race. The plan for the class, lead by Capricorn’s Patrizio Rossi and EFRA is to make it easier for newcomers to race the 1:10 class. Getting start in 235mm is as easy as fitting wider rear tyres and a larger body such as that from PIP-Aero with these changes providing better handling characteristics for newcomers. The TC235 will be available shortly from a number of suppliers including Tony Gruber’s Gruber Racing in German, Capricorn in Italy and Team Corona in Hong Kong.
