Wild Turbo Fan Mad Max 3D fan mount

New from Wild Turbo Fan and Mad Max Products comes the Mad Max 3D fan mount. Different from conventional fan mounts with only a small contact area, the unique 3D design allows a much stronger connection to the motor using a custom made carbon fibre cross brace and an aluminium stopper. This fan mount is usable with 30mm to 40mm fans including WTF’s Windy fan and will fit the Awesomatix touring car and most belt driven cars. The design allows to take of the fan using only one screw after initial assembly and the mount is of a very low weight at only 5.8g. Included with the mount comes all needed hardware as well as two different carbon mounting brackets.

Belgian SCT Cup Rd4 – Report

The 4th round of the 2014 Belgian SCT Cup was organised by the new A.R.T. Sprimont club and held at the former RCEL track. The layout was unchanged from last year and the track is considered to be one of the best in the country, with elevation changes and high speed chicanes on a surface offering many different grip levels along the day. In the absence of current Pro2 ranking leader, Philippe Hautecoeur, France was represented by two newcomers, Laurent and Emilie Halluin (Team Associated). Laurent made an excellent start by setting TQ times in the first two qualification rounds while running in the slower heat. Nicolas Evens (TLR) won the third round to make it second on the grid, followed by Julian André (Team Associated). 1/10 4WD Belgian national champion Jean-Yves Konings completes the top 4.

Arrowmax 1/8″ differential ball sets

Arrowmax 1/8" differential ball sets

Arrowmax have three different 12-piece sets of 1/8″ differential balls available. Coming as standard steel, carbide and ceramic variants, the sets are usable in a wide range of applications with the steel balls being a direct replacement for many kit diff balls. The carbide balls are an ideal upgrade for everyone looking for a bit more performance and a smoother working diff while the ceramic variant marks the top-of-the-foodchain solution. Using ceramic balls in combination with keyed diff rings makes for the smoothest possible diff action but using these type of balls requires a more frequent maintenance and some experience in adjusting ball differentials.
