Available now from 1up Racing is their new red CV joint oil. Formulated with feedback from their factory drivers, the lubricant is the answer for the racer looking for extreme performance and long-lasting protection for their CV joints or universals. The oil will penetrate the metal surface for very free, long lasting joints with the reduced friction of the driveshaft assembly making the car more consistent while improving corner speed.

Coming from Exotek and made for the Team Associated RC10F6 formula car are the new rear traction plate set and the adjustable front camber arm kit. Starting with the rear end, the rear traction plate set is a battery hold down conversion that adds rear end flex to the F6 chassis for improved traction in all conditions. The redesigned shock plate includes a battery hold down bar so that tape is not needed to hold down the battery, for easier more secure battery hold also with the benefit of added chassis flex. Also included are three extra soft top shock springs as an added tuning touch to increase rear grip on lower grip track or rubber tyre conditions. The conversion is usable with standard shorty LiPo packs and requires two new holes in the body shell for the repositioned body posts.
In addition to their new .21 off-road and .12 nitro touring engines, Italian company Picco also have a new 3.5cc nitro on-road engine available. The R2-3518 Team DLC Ceramic is based off of the popular R1 platform and thanks to numerous improvements the power band and stability could be further improved. A new cylinder port shape and crankshaft design optimise the internal mixture flow and also the bore/stroke ratio has been updated slightly compared to the R1. The new engine still features the DLC coated crankshaft for great durability of all parts involved while the latest crankcase design provides improved overall stiffness and therefore a more stable performance at every temperature. The engine is rounded out by a rear Swiss-made ceramic bearing and a carburettor with double bottom-end adjustment.
