Reds Racing introduce new exhaust manifolds

Italian company Reds Racing have introduced new exhaust manifolds for .21 rear exhaust outlet engines. The new design connects the manifold to the engine with a much better fit. The end result improves the strength and durability of the spring retainers. The new design also provides improved cooling in the exhaust area to guarantee longer life for the gasket, equalling lower maintenance costs. The manifold is available in three sizes; the medium variant is recommended for short tracks where more bottom torque is required, but top speed will be lower. The second is the short manifold that is recommended for medium or standard-size tracks. It is a good compromise between torque and top speed. Last but not least comes the XS extra short variant that is recommended for tracks with long main straights and to achieve the highest top speed but lower bottom torque.

RDRP XB2 aluminium steering plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced an aluminium steering plate for the Xray XB2 series of cars. It is a direct replacement for the standard composite plate and machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium. Coming black or orange anodised the part adds stability to the steering section which can be beneficial especially on high-bite surfaces where the plate leads to a more crisp steering response as it does not wrap under load. The part is a direct replacement and usable on all XB2 and XT2 series kits.
