Hudy introduce their new Joint Grease

Coming from Hudy is their new joint grease. The lubricant is specially formulated to allow for a reliable lubrication of all driveshaft joints used in on-road and off-road kits. The high viscosity prevents the grease from being flung away at high RPM and thus it is ideal for the cross pin assembly of CV and universal driveshafts as well as the differential outdrive and drive pin section of the drivetrain. The lube comes in a handy container and it is thus easy to use and apply.

R1 Wurks Digital 2 brushless speed controller

Coming from R1 Wurks is the new Digital 2 brushless speed controller. Rated at 200A constant current, the controller is usable with modified motors down to 3.0T but a blinky mode for zero timing spec racing makes it usable for non-boosted classes also. Several boost and turbo functions add to the extensive software features that include power delivery and brake strength settings. The unit also features the A.C.L.C. Advanced Component Level Cooling system, this design allows individual Mosfets to transfer heat directly to the upper heatsink. The power switch-less safety first system forces the user to disconnect the battery when its time to power off the controller, minimising the chances of leaving a live battery from draining. The controller is housed in a black anodised case with a specially designed heatsink and it is adjustable using a digital programming box.
