Trinity Draked Engine head Categories - Trinity, Accessories, Engines, Off Road, Products - comments closed
According to the Trinity website this is a spy shot of a new cooling head for the Adam Drake line of Trinity engines. I thought it was nice that the spy gave Trinity the photo and the permission to put it on their website…
Check this “Spy Shot” taken by an unknown source in the building at Trinity. It shows a negative of a new Trinity Product before it even has a part number. Ask your local hobby shop to call and ask about it asap.

Edit Fuel tubing & Heatsink protector Categories - Edit, Accessories, Engines, Products - comments closed
Edit have released some new general parts on their website today, the first of which is some fuel tubing and the other item is a engine heat sink protector. First up is the durable high-grade silicone fuel tubing, which is thicker than standard fuel tubing for extra protection, yet bends easily to prevent cracking or other damage. Available in a variety of colours in 1m lengths, you can get the right colour to match your car’s anodized colour or your personal paint scheme. Next up is the tough plastic heat sink protector that keeps scratches off your big-block engine’s heatsink and is especially suitable for monster trucks, truggies, buggies and 1/8 scale on-road cars.

Team Orion CRF CPD released Categories - CRF, Team Orion, Accessories, Engines, Products - comments closed
Way back at the start of February Team Orion showed their CPD (constant pressure device) system to visitors at the Nuernberg toy fair, and we showed it to you for the first time then also. Well if you have been waiting to buy one ever since, you now can, as it has just been released.
The CRF CPD acting as a pressure valve system, effectively resolves this problem by regulating the amount of pressure going to the fuel tank. The valve allows a constant amount of pressure to be sent to the fuel tank, by opening or closing itself depending on the engine’s rotation speed.

Gio Racing LPC Clutch Categories - Mugen, Gio Racing, Motonica, Accessories, Engines, Products - comments closed
German company Gio Racing, set up by Italian Giovanni Petrocelli, have released this new LPC Clutch which is suitable for both the Motonica and Mugen chassis’. Moving away from heavy steel parts Gio Racing have made the LPC clutch from exotic materials such as titanium, magnesium and ergal which mean the clutch is more responsive thanks to its lighter weight, yet is very durable as was proven at the recent Wiesbaden 3 hours that was one by Robert Will using this very same clutch system. The full set costs EUR100 and every clutch is made to order so if you want one expect to wait a short while after ordering to finally receive it.

Sirio have released their new power clutch set that is suitable for use with the Xray NT1 and the Kyosho RRR range of 1/10th scale cars. The bell housing (above) is sold as part of the set and features cooling fins that allow the temperature of the clutch to stay low without the removal of material which could compromise strength, and reduce clutch shoe contact area. The bell housing is also available seperately and doesn’t come supplied with pinion gears, those that come with the Xray and Kyosho will fit.
