Sweep Racing VHT Crusher-10 White dot drag racing tire

Sweep Racing has released a new white compound option of their VHT Crusher-10 Drag Racing tire. This is the 3rd compound option for Street Eliminator Drag Racing. After the soft launch of in Red and Black X-dot tires and taking the class by storm, they are proud to introduce White dot tires. The White dot is made out of the same rubber as the Red dot but a tiny bit stiffer to prevent chirping on hot days at the Drag Strip, the rubber mixture perfected over a year of R&D at Sweep’s US facility. Sweep say the tires require none to minimal balancing to be competitive with just a very light burnout needed on a wool carpet.

RC Maker 3D Pro Carbon Car Stacker

RC Maker have added this new 3D Pro Carbon Car Stacker to their extensive range of pit table accessories. Pit space is always tight at a big race, and running multiple classes you end up finding no space to store your cars! They get shoved under the table or end up in your buddy’s pit space next to you. Well that’s now a thing of the past; with this car stacker that stores up to 3 chassis, which could be either 1/12th, F1 or 190mm TC! This keeps everything in one spot so you can be and feel organised, knowing at a glance what cars are prepared or not. It free’s up bench space to do the wrenching you need to do, and whatever car you need is at arms length.

RC Maker Awesomatix Damper Piston Height Set Tools

RC Maker has produced this new Damper Piston Height Tool to help make building your Awesomatix D2.2 Dampers a breeze! When assembling the dampers, it’s important to ensure the P63 piston is at the correct height throughout the build and upon completion. Traditionally you would need to keep checking and pushing the piston back down throughout the build. That’s where these handy tools come in! They screw down inside the damper shaft and touch the top of the P63 to correctly set the height. This way you can forget about needing to check it throughout the build. The tools can be screwed in and out with your fingers or a 2mm driver into the end.
