Max Carbon setup tools Categories - Max Carbon, On Road, Products, Tools - comments closed
Central RC in Japan have started selling this amazingly cool range of setup tools from Max Carbon. First up is this carbon fibre setup board which has been constructed using aluminium honey comb sandwiched between 2 layers of carbon, making it a very strong, stiff but extremely light setup board. The board is 390mm × 480mm × 11mm and weighs only 500 grams, and at that size can be used with anything up to 1/8th scale circuit cars. Next up are these carbon fibre downstop blocks which again are extremely light thanks to their carbon construction and they compliment the ride height gauge which has been made from solid carbon fibre and can measure heights between 15mm and 2mm. These parts are available right now but they dont come cheap with the board costing over $300, the downstop blocks costing over $130 and the ride height gauge coming in around $50.

HPI Racing Pro Thread lock Categories - HPI, Products, Tools - comments closed
HPI Racing have released this pro thread lock, which along with doing what TL does best - preventing loose screws from ending a top qualifying run or dropping you out of a close battle, it comes in a small bottle so it takes up little or no space in your tool box. Meant to be used only on metal screws that attach to metal parts, it may require significant force to remove the screw afterwards.
