Flash Point R/C have announced the new 12mm Brass 1/10th shock pistons. Tested and developed with newly crowned 2017 IFMAR World Champion Ryan Maifield, the pistons feature a flat profile, with tapered holes to provide faster rebound. The increased weight of brass piston will slow down the shock shaft speed, resulting in smoother easy to drive feeling over bumpy surfaces. Drivers will notice the vehicle is easier to drive and has a plusher feel over a wider range of surfaces which will provide drivers with the confidence to pushed harder over broken surfaces and improve jumping and landing. The 12mm diameter pistons are available as 2-hole x 1.5mm or 3-hole x 1.3mm option that come in sets of four.

Flash Point magnetic 17mm wheel wrench & wheel nuts

Flash Point R/C have introduced their new magnetic wheel wrench for 17mm wheel nuts as well as a matching wheel nut set. Starting with the wheel wrench, the lightweight tool has a built in magnet and one end of the wrench’s handle is open and allows to remove the set-screws that hold the pin and wheel hex on the driveshaft. The wrench combined with the new Flash Point wheel nuts makes changing tyres quicker and easier as the chance of loosing a wheel nut during wrenching is greatly reduced. As for the magnetic wheel nuts, the captured and knurled fasteners have a small steel screw and nut that ensure the nut securely rests in the above tool. The wheel nuts are captured to keep dirt out of the axles and are knurled to lock the wheel nuts in place during long main events. The wheel nuts are designed to fit any 1/8th buggy and truck that use a 17mm wheel hex and they are available separately as 4-piece sets or even as a combo set including the magnetic wheel wrench.
