Rêve D for RDX R-tune Spring series

Japanese RC Drift car manufacturer Rêve D has introduced a new R-tune spring specially tuned for RDX car kit, which uses the “SWO” material that has been proven in the R-tune series. By adopting a new “SWO” material and making it easier to induce initial subduction even at higher spring rates gives a strong kicking feeling and control performance are realised at a high level. The spring length is 23mm, which is the shortest length in the Rêve D product. By shortening the spring, it is possible to suppress the elongation of the suspension and apply the surface pressure to the tyre stably both front and rear. It can be used for both the front and rear, and the line-to-line contact structure, which is popular in the R-tune spring series, continues to be used. By swapping the top and bottom of the spring, it is possible to instantly adjust according to the road surface conditions and driving skill. There are 3 spring types in the lineup – soft, medium hard, hard, and Rêve D have an all-set that contains all three types in a special box.

RC Maker Carbon Tweak Stick Pro End Plates

RC Maker has evolved one of its most popular products with the introduction of their brand new Carbon Tweak Stick Pro End Plates. These new end plates feature a black anodised 7075 aluminium hub with a carbon attachment that locates onto the upper bulkheads of your touring car. The hub features a vertical grub screw which locks the end plate down to the stick, making sure it always stays flat and in the same place. This design keeps the whole assembly more sturdy whilst you apply pressure to the stick. The new Tweak Stick Pro End Plates fit both the existing RC Maker tweak stick, and their new Tweak Stick Pro. So if you’ve already got the Original Tweak Stick, you can just upgrade with the new end plates. The new tweak stick pro stick itself, has some cool features which work well with these new end plates, and also offer access to centre motor mount screws which wasn’t possible on the original tweak stick. This new Tweak Stick Pro is sold separately to these end plates. Different cars require different versions of these end plates, so RC Maker offer different versions for each car.
