Rebellion-RC X1 multi wheelbase rear pod kit

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a new multi wheelbase rear pod set for the Xray X1 formula kits. The set allows to enlarge the wheelbase by 2.5mm or 5.0mm, shifting the car’s weight bias further towards the front which can lead to improved steering characteristics. In addition the lever-moment of the centre shock gets longer, leading to softer damping and better absorption of curbs and bumps. Several side tube positions allow to fine-tune the cornering characteristics and the set, machined from high-quality carbon fibre also includes longer WTC mount side plates. The rear pod kit comes for the 2015 to 2019 variants of the X1 and it is available in a total of twelve carbon weave colours.

Avid Awesomatix steering arm HD

Avid have introduced their new HD steering arm for the Awesomatix A800 and older A700 touring cars. It mimics the geometry of the AM14LS steering arm but was designed with a few features to make it more durable, hence the heavy duty classification. Typically the arm bends at the M3 hole in the middle of the arm which Avid have changed to an M2.5 and added material around the hole and along the sides of the arm to beef it up. The lever is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, it comes black anodised and the set includes two steering arms, two M2.5×10 stainless steel screws, and an Avid mini decal.

Corner Speed RC lubricants

Coming from Corner Speed RC are three new lubricants for various applications in RC racing. First up is the Max-Rev high speed bearing oil, a low viscosity lubricant. It has been carefully formulated and tested to maximise the efficiency of the lube in the toughest of conditions. It contents a special additive that helps the lube to working consistency under extremely high RPM and it comes in a 10ml needle tip bottle that make it easy to apply on any small bearings and parts. Next up is the Maxi-Free CV joint lube, a deeply penetrating teflon lubricant that works for on-road and off-road applications. The wet lubricant dries out on the parts, leaving a super hard and extremely durable film that does not attract dirt and keeps away carpet fluff and tyre rubber. The fluid comes in an easy to use fine tip bottle. Last but not least comes the Steel 2 Plastic dry lubricant for all metal-to-plastic and plastic-to-plastic connections. It prevents dirt and grime to build up inside plastic joints for long lifespan while helping them working consistently in different conditions. The lube is great for all on-road and off-road applications.
