RC Maker A800FX Tweak Stick

RC Maker have announced the release of their new Tweak Stick tool for the use with the Awesomatix A800FX front-wheel drive touring car. Featuring a full carbon fibre construction, it is lightweight and disassembles for easy transportation. The tweak stick aids to pin the car down onto a flat surface with a single hand, whilst tightening the top deck screws with your other hand. Due to Awesomatix’s unique design not having shock towers, the tweak stick utilises extension plates which exert even pressure onto the bulkheads left and right, front and rear. The design locates the extensions onto the bulkhead using locating lugs, which makes it quick, easy and accurate to use. Thick O-rings simply locate the extensions in place, which can be adjusted in distance to your desire. Using the tweak stick doesn’t require removal of anything, as it clears all parts of the car and all spur gear sizes.

Exotek DR10 CF wheelie bar & slipper eliminator

Exotek have announced the release of new option parts for the Team Associated DR10 drag racing car in the form of a carbon fibre wheelie bar and a slipper eliminator direct spur gear mount. Starting with the extra long carbon fibre wheelie bar, the longer bar gives the driver more stability than the short stock wheelie bar, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often. The assembly is adjustable at the base, using the stock DR10 adjustments, but it is also possible to make finer adjustments on the bar itself so that the driver can tune in the absolute perfect bar height. The wheelie bar is constructed of heavy duty 3mm carbon fiber with alloy support posts.

Volante V8T touring car rubber tyres

Volante have introduced their new V8T touring car outdoor asphalt tyres. The production of the Volante V5-36R, V7-32R, and 36R tyres had to face the problem of limited raw material for several months with the shortage having affected all major tyre manufacturers. As a result Volante opted to change the focus on the development of a brand-new asphalt tyres series – the V8T. The project combines several updates that started with the creation of a newly formulated rubber compound. The main goal was to produce a tyre that demonstrates longer durability and a reliable performance regarding grip and control. The new V8T series of tyres integrates a newly formulated tyre compound with an ultra-thin yet durable inner belt. The result is a more balanced tyre that provides consistent lap times from the beginning till the end. The V8T is available in 24R, 28R, 32R and 36R compounds, remounted on dish or 7-spoke rims.
