Hudy 1/10 Touring Set-up wheels

New from Hudy are these CNC-machined premium-quality aluminium set-up wheels for electric and nitro 1/10 tourin, which allows for perfect, precise and repeatable set-up adjustment and tweak correction. Precision-machined to exacting tolerances, each alu set-up wheel in a set is perfectly matched. When checking tweak on a rubber-tired touring car, using standard rubber tires typically gives non-precise and non-repeatable measurements. Rubber tires are never perfectly rounded, so when checking tweak one tire can lift earlier than another but this does not always indicate a tweaked car. Tire roundness and insert weight is different from one tire to the next. Also when checking tweak on a foam-tired touring car, the differences between tires are even greater than with rubber tires. Each foam tire has a different diameter after each run due to tire wear, making it impossible to check for tweak because the tires can give very misleading results. In this case the alu set-up wheels are the best tool for checking tweak.

Hudy Pit bag

Seen for the first time at the toy fair earlier this month, Hudy have released their innovative new pit bag. The first purpose-designed pit bag, it is super lightweight, easy to assemble/disassemble, and is very easy to transport within the outer pockets of your hauler bag (or stored in any regular bag or box). Smartly designed and laid out with open side pockets for items you need to access quickly, tool pockets for engine & carburetor tools (among others), and still more closable pockets for more “expensive” items like thermometers and stop watches. With one large storage compartment designed to precisely fit a 1/8 or 1/10 starter box, the other large storage compartment can be used for spare tires, equipment, and much more. There is even an extra pocket specially designed for a fuel bottle. Another great and unique feature is the adjustable side holder for a quick-fill fuel gun. Being positioned outside the bag interior, there is no more worry about fuel leakage inside the pit bag. The holder can be adjusted to accommodate any type of fuel gun.
