Axial Racing flywheel remover Categories - Axial, Products, Tools - comments closed
More new stuff from Axial Racing, this time its some new tools, with the release of this nice green anodised, machined billet aluminum, flywheel remover. Designed to fit most flywheels it allows you to easily pull the flywheel from your engine without causing any damage to the flywheel or end of the shaft. Also officially released by Axial Racing is their new set of hex driver that we showed a while back, color coded and laser etched for easier identification, these tools were designed to be easier to use than most. The handles were ergonomically designed to fit in your hand better and provide grip even when your hands are slick from oil and grease.

Axial Racing have announced the release of their 28RR Spec 1 Engine that is suitable for truggies and monster trucks. The 28RR is designed to rev higher while still maintaining superior levels of torque and the rather nice cooling head helps to lower center of gravity as well as increase cooling capacity.
The 28RR Spec 1 is a .28 cubic inch big block engine featuring a machined cast aluminum heat-sink head for extra cooling, dual bushing aluminum connecting rod, true ABC chrome sleeve construction for durability, and a three needle 9.0mm slide carburetor (including 8.0 & 8.5mm optional venturi’s) with a composite body for better performance at higher temperatures. The carburetor features a factory re-set line on the high speed needle, and flush needles making re-setting, to baseline factory specifications, quick and easy.

Axial range of tools Categories - Axial, Products, Tools - comments closed
Axial have given RC Car Action the scoop on their new set of tools, and we havent been given much more information than that, except that they are available in a wide range of tips, and those tips are replaceable, and from the picture we can see that the larger sizes are available also with ball tips. The handles use some beefy screw driver handles that look grippy and comfortable and sport a colour coded tip mount, although i personally still prefer the Hudy method of tool size recognition.

Paul Coleman debuts the Robitronic Mantis Categories - Axial, Events, Gas, Gas Off Road, Off Road, Racing, Robitronic - comments closed
Paul Coleman made his debut race with the Robitronic Mantis at last months Team Losi Nitro Winter Championships held in Tampa Florida. The race was a learning experience for Paul, driving the Mantis in its debut Truggy race Stateside, and he could qualify in 6th position with some consistent running and went on to perform well in the race until he was forced to retire with some technical problems. The car however showed its potential and look good on the track, very stable over the jumps and fast through the corners and looks promising for the rest of the season.
