Hudy 1/10 Touring Set-up wheels

New from Hudy are these CNC-machined premium-quality aluminium set-up wheels for electric and nitro 1/10 tourin, which allows for perfect, precise and repeatable set-up adjustment and tweak correction. Precision-machined to exacting tolerances, each alu set-up wheel in a set is perfectly matched. When checking tweak on a rubber-tired touring car, using standard rubber tires typically gives non-precise and non-repeatable measurements. Rubber tires are never perfectly rounded, so when checking tweak one tire can lift earlier than another but this does not always indicate a tweaked car. Tire roundness and insert weight is different from one tire to the next. Also when checking tweak on a foam-tired touring car, the differences between tires are even greater than with rubber tires. Each foam tire has a different diameter after each run due to tire wear, making it impossible to check for tweak because the tires can give very misleading results. In this case the alu set-up wheels are the best tool for checking tweak.

Available in 2 versions, the new DSIII is available as standard and also as an Eduardo Modified version. The standard version features an improved liner-fit, the liner is seated a little higher in the crankcase creating an even better alignment with the ports. The EM version additionally has a black-case, improved lighter crankshaft with silicone, hand-selected piston/liner/conrod combination, tear-drop workings on the ports. Both engines sport new graphics on the cooling head.

Xray XII Front aluminum active brace

New from Xray for their 1/12th scale pan car chassis, the XII, is this front aluminum active brace. Mounted between the front blocks, the brace prevents tweak as the result of a crash but it also can be used to setup the car. Assembled in 2 different versions, with rubber o-rings or with an aluminium roller, the former makes the brace softer and so increases front traction and steering, while the latter assembly stiffens the front and so decreases steering.
