OfficinaRC Forza diff hardness tester

Coming from OfficinaRC, a new project of Monaco RC, is the Forza diff hardness tester. The device is meant to be the smallest diff tester to date and it was developed especially for 1/10th and Mini-Z size vehicles. The taster is powered via any USB output and it comes including a 1/10th scale compatible adapter with a Mini-Z-style coupler being available separately. Its design allows to measure diff hardness of both installed and stand alone units and thanks to its compact 86x38x29mm dimensions and the low weight of 85g it is easy to store and transport.

Coming from PHub is their new “pink” Magic Grip traction compound for on-road rubber tyres. Tested by top-level drivers like Ronald Völker, David Ronnefalk and Viljami Kutvonen the tyre sauce will offer the highest possible traction without having to fear traction rolling. It is usable on a wide range of track conditions, ranging from low to high grip with the overall amount of grip available being adjusted by the application time before run. Applied ten minutes before a run the traction compound is is ideal for high-grip tracks while extending the application time to 20 minutes will make it suitable for low grip tracks. The tyre sauce comes in handy 60ml bottles and it is available from this weekend’s DHI Cup in Denmark.
