Hudy have released a tweak board set for 1/10th touring cars. The tool helps to remove any tweak from the chassis and it utilises a lightweight chassis counter plate as well as a lightweight carbon fibre rod with aluminium caps, the latter is used to hold down the chassis on its shock towers after loosing the top deck screws. With the rod pressed down the screws will be tightened again with he result being a totally flat chassis, bulkhead and topdeck assembly. The tweak board set comes in a protective carrying bag for easy storage and transportation.
Hudy have introduced a 2.5mm ejector pivot pin and 2.5mm alternating pivot for use with Hudy’s drive pin replacement tool to replace 2.5mm drive pins in drive shafts in addition to previously available 3mm version. One of the leading causes of ill-handling cars comes from improperly working suspension caused by drivetrain binding. In cars of all scales it is important to check and regularly replace the drive pins before they wear flat. A worn pin can cause inconsistent handling and poor overall performance. It is well known that drivers in the past have gone to great lengths to either replace their pins frequently or incur the cost of replacing the compete drive shaft.
