More new RCV driveshafts from MiBorg RC, this time for the Tamiya TC-01. Available for the front and rear of the car, the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even at high steering angles leading to more predictable handling, higher corner speeds and less tyre wear.

The new MR33 Tweak Tool Station offers a clear and simple way to check the tweak on all 1:10 and 1:12 scale onroad cars. Unlike other comparative products it does not rely on a water scale for measuring the chassis balance, this job is done by a ride height gauge (not included) placed underneath the left and right side of the floating aluminium main plate. Racers can clearly read out the values from the height gauge and don’t have to rely on a water scale. The MR33 Tweak Tool Station is made from black anodized aluminium with laser engraved numbers and logos.
