Brilliant RC steel-sealed ball bearing sets

New from Brilliant RC come high-quality metal-shielded ball bearing sets for a range of vehicles. The bearings come pre-lubed with a special grease that will not thicken up during use and the highly precise steel seals ensure dust and dirt stay away from the internals while making for significantly less drag compared to standard or rubber-sealed bearings. The ball races are available for a range of cars including the 1/8th on-road kits of ARC, BMT, Capricorn, Mugen, Serpent, Shepherd and Xray as well as for the 1/10th touring car kits of Serpent, Xray and Yokomo, with more sets to come. Beside the full sets the bearings are also available as pairs in different sizes.

Ride XR 1/10th formula tyres

Ride have introduced the all-new XR 1/10th formula front and rear tyres. In development for almost two years the runner-up version of the highly popular R1 will retain positive features such as multi-surface ability and low wear while sporting new rim with larger inner diameter and a reinforced outer edge to make for a more durable and better performing wheel. An updated injection process of the rims raises quality and trueness. The updated tyres feature re-designed profiles for increased steering response, better side bite and forward traction while the rubber compound used offers the same easy driving feeling as the R1 but with extra steering response everyone was waiting for. The pre-glued tyres, that will be the new controlled ETS Formula class hand-out wheels, are rounded out by all-new inserts which are of a more stable material for consistent performance over time.
