Gravity RC Eco 1/10th buggy tyre tube

Gravity RC have introduced their all-new Eco tyre tube for 1/10th scale buggy tyres. Whether it is RC or full-scale auto racing, tyres are king. In today’s landscape of aggressive chassis design and car set up, drivers spend a lot of time getting the tyres right to achieve the level of grip necessary on dirt for the car to perform. Often overlooked however is the correct storage of the black gold. This is where the Eco tyre tubes kick in. This controlled tyre storage system includes a cap on each tube that has an intergraded temperature and humidity sensor, allowing to monitor tyre conditions over long storage periods. Also included is a humidity pod which can be used to increase the humidity and the tubes are labeled so drivers can track their tyre’s life and usage, keeping them on top of their game.

Gravity RC G-Spec Type F touring car foam tyres

Developed by Drew Ellis and Paul Lemieux are the new Gravity RC G-Spec Type F touring car foam tyres. A specially selected foam compound and wheel make it a true spec foam tyre for touring cars on both asphalt and carpet. Its ultra dense front foam and firm rear foam makes for very little tyre wear and great handling while the nylon spoke wheel is both racy and sturdy. The Type-F tyres were used at last weekend’s indoor champs in Cleveland, Ohio to provide an exhibition class for the event. The class was TQ’d by Xray’s Paul Lemieux and won by Team Associated’s Kevin Hebert. Both drivers used out of the package tyres with Paul even using his exact same car from the rubber tyre class with only adding rear camber to set the fastest laps of the weekend.

Gravity RC Touring Car Sidewall Glue Trace kit

Gravity RC have introduced the Touring Car Sidewall Glue Trace kit. The set is used to consistently mark the sidewall of front touring car tyres in preparation for CA glue application, which is used to help prevent grip rolling on carpet. Tracing the outside of the disk with the included paint marker provides you with a consistent and defined line which serves as a visual boundary while applying CA glue up the sidewall. The 58.5mm disc is the recommended trace for lower grip conditions while the 59.5mm disc is the recommended trace for medium to high grip conditions. Included in the kit is one 58.5mm disc, one 59.5mm disk, one silver paint marker, as well as a fastener to secure the disc to the outside of the tyre.

Gravity RC B64 2mm diff shim

Gravity RC have introduced a new optional part for Team Associated’s B64 4WD off-road buggy in the form of a 2mm diff shim. The 3-D-printed part is conventionally used to raise the rear differential of the B64 buggy. The increased height of the diff will result in a more conventional dog bone angle at the desired ride height and will increase grip and overall consistency. The part is especially recommended in the rear, but also applicable for the front.
