Smokem Racing ARC R12 top deck

Smokem Racing’s new top deck for the ARC R12, claims to find the sweet-spot with an overall width that is in between the 2 factory top decks. They then smoothed out the profile for more consistent flex characteristics and added the V-SES top deck’s trademark V-shaped cross brace, optimally shaped in width and thickness to deliver firmer flex in its stock form. This cross brace can also be cut to increase flex, just follow the V-shaped lead-in with a Dremel. This ultimately delivers four possible top deck combinations in the one product, allowing racers to fine tune their R12 exactly to their liking.

RC Maker GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set

RC Maker have presented their new GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set for touring cars. The concept is simple yet very effective. The wheels are weighted offside and on a ball bearing, so as soon as you pick the car up trying to see what wheel comes off first, the wheel that is high will spin, and indicate which way to turn the collars on the opposite end of the car. No more getting down on your knees eye-balling it, or feeling for the lift off point, simply watch which one spins first, and that’s the high corner. The wheels feature ABEC 7 Quality bearings and integrated 7075 Alu knurled thumb nut. The wheels and nut stay as one piece to ensure you never lose anything. The opposite end features the same hardware, except with a stable “A” design to ensure the car stays still and rigid whilst doing your tweak. Just swap them front to rear when doing the opposite end.
