Trinity Draked Engine head Categories - Accessories, Engines, Off Road, Products, Trinity - 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.

Charge RC off road pipe set Categories - Charge RC, Engines, Exhausts, Off Road, Products - comments closed
Japanese firm Charge RC have introduced this new off road pipe set for use with 3,5cc buggy motors. The pipe itself has been extensively tested in both off road and on road conditions with the best results coming when off road where the pipe gives plenty of bottom end to middle range torque, especially when combined with the manifold that comes supplied with the pipe set. The pipe and manifold have been polished for better gas flow, while for the stinger of the pipe has been reinforced with a rib to prevent it bending in the event of a hard impact.
