Brilliant RC synthetic felt pit mat

Brilliant RC synthetic felt pit mat

From Brilliant RC comes a unique pit mat made from a highly compressed synthetic felt. Making it very impact and temperature resistant the mat brings a new clean look into the pits thanks to the matt black colour on which dirt is less visible than on bright coloured pit mats, resulting in a clean look of the table. Furthermore the surface prevents small parts like screws, pins, balls etc. from rolling away. With a size of 50x98cm the mat fits perfectly into a standard pit area while the soft material allows to roll the mat for easy storage and transportation.

Brilliant RC Belt Silicone lubricant

Brilliant RC Belt Silicone lubricant

Brilliant RC’s new Belt Silicone is an innovative lubricant which improves the performance and efficiency of every belt-driven RC car by reducing the friction of the belts and pulleys. Furthermore it ensures that less dirt adheres on the pulleys and on the belts which results in less wear and an extended life of the drivetrain. The lube comes in a bottle with a small applicator brush for convenient and save application as even the smallest amounts of silicone-based lubricants can cause considerable damages in nitro engines.
