Speed Merchant Rev5 1/12th scale
Current US National Champions Speed Merchant have announced the release of their latest 1/12th scale chassis, the Rev5, due for sale in the 2nd week of October. The car has a new rear pod design, that takes “easy access” to a new level, meaning you can literally drop in any motor, including brushless with a large pinion attached, with ease while the new pod plates have been machined from Delrin which offers huge weight savings. The car also feaures a new extensively tested “Formula” front end which has been created using linkages yet is sturdy enough to hold up to the speeds and forces generated in today’s cars. By supporting the top of the king pin with 2 balls, the upper link arm is very stiff and strong, and doesn’t move during a crash.

SpeedMerchant bottle Stand
Some news from SpeedMerchant, the 1/12th manufacturer that won all 1/12th classes at this years ROAR Nats, to say that they have released this neat little carbon fibre stand that fits their range of greases. This stand would look great on your race table and is made from 2 sheets of carbon, and as well as the 3 spots for the oil there is also space for some other small bottles.
