Axon Core high-performance ball bearings oils

Coming from Axon is their new line of high-quality Core ball bearing oils. The lubricants are available in three different viscosities, helping to get the most out of new or used ball bearings. First up is the medium viscosity oil, a full synthetic lube that offers best possible life span, pressure resistance and heat resistance, making it ideal especially for nitro racing cars. Next up is the low viscosity soft oil that also offers very good heat and wear resistance while allowing to achieve higher speeds due to its lower viscosity. High pressure resistance ensures smooth bearing operation even at high rotational speeds. Last but not last comes the ultra-low viscosity super soft oil that offers near water-like flowing capabilities, making it ideal for all ultra-high performance applications such as 1/12th and 1/10th formula racing. It needs to be used more frequently, however it helps to extract the best performance out of a bearing due to offering the lowest natural drag. All lubricants come in new leak-proof bottles for convenient storage and application.

Axon 1/10th TC machined precision rod guides

Coming from Axon and usable for a range of 1/10th touring cars are their new precision machined shock rod guides. The parts ensure an optimised O-ring seal seat for less friction, better sealing and an overall improved shock performance and the guides are usable for Axon’s own High Big Bore and Revoshock dampers as well as Yokomo BD9, Infinity IF14 and Tamiya TRF 419XR kits.

Axon 3mm suspension shaft shim set

Coming from Axon is an 8-piece set of 0.5mm thick 3mm inner diameter Teflon shims for the use as wheelbase washers on 1/10th scale cars. The precision-machined shims are made to be used in place of standard composite or aluminium shims with the reduced friction of the Teflon material ensuring smoother suspension movement under load. The shims are usable on all vehicles with 3mm suspension shims.

Axon YD-series Revoshock dampers

Axon have introduced their new Revoshock dampers the Yokomo YD-2 and YD-4 drift cars. The big bore shock absorbers utilise 11.5mm diameter 16-hole shock pistons that run in HVF-coated threaded alloy shock bodies for ultra low friction. The clearance between the piston and shock body is only 0.025mm, ensuring minimal oil blow-by and thus predictable shock performance. New to the Revoshock is a revolutionary piston shaft seal design with the lower cartridge seals being a lot smaller in diameter compared to industry-standard P3 O-rings, which ensures the seals are not being pinched by the shock body which created a floating design that leads to virtually no friction between the seals and the shock shaft. Specially selected inner diameters of the upper S and lower SS-sized O-rings ensure the shocks are still as leak-free as possible while the HVF-coated piston shaft further reduce overall friction. The result is a shock absorber that is able to generate more traction due to being as smooth as possible. Included in the set come the shock bodies, upper and lower caps, spring pre-load collar as well as the piston rods and pistons. The plastic parts, pivot balls and shock springs are not included as these are parts that can be taken from the donor Yokomo shocks.

Axon 1/10th touring car precision shock bladders

Axon have introduced their new flex type NBR rubber precision shock bladders for 1/10th electric touring cars. Using a specially-sourced rubber material and an optimised shape, the bladders will improve the shock action for improved damper performance and thus traction and corner speed. The bladders come in packs of four and they are usable for cars such as the Infinity IF14, Tamiya TRF419XR, Xray T4 and Yokomo BD9.

Axon Impact Racing Dish touring car wheels

For those who are still gluing their own touring car tyres, Axon have announced the soon release of their Impact Racing Dish 1/10th touring car wheel. The rim is made of a new ABS resin material and compared to the Dynamic Racing Dish wheel, the Impact rim features a slightly different size which, in combination with the new material, will make for optimised tyre rolling motion and an overall improved car and steering feeling, making the rim ideal for high-traction racing conditions.
