Hudy Bearing oil & Greases

Hudy have released a number of new items for lubricating moving parts on your model car. First up is high quality bearing oil that is used to lubricate bearings for ultra-smooth operation and long lifespan. Very good for use on dusty tracks and carpet tracks because it helps combat the effects of dust and carpet hair contamination, it is super thin to help promote quick penetration and fast & easy coverage. Next up is 2 different types of grease, graphite and silicone, the former is a high-performance semi-fluid lubricant which incorporate both extreme pressure additives and finely dispersed graphite for load carrying, while the silicone is seen as a general-purpose grease, formulated to provide extra protection against wear, corrosion, and water.

Hudy Torx Screw driver

Hudy Torx Screwdriver

Hudy have announced the latest addition to their lineup of Professional tools, with the addition of a complete range of Torx drivers. Torx head screws are becoming increasingly popular, as their design inherently resists cam-out (the tendency for a bit to twist out of the fastener slot when tightened) better than Phillips head screws, and resists rounding out the screw slot much better than hex slot screws. The range of tools includes 6 different tip sizes (T6, T8, T10, T15, T20 & T25) and all are sold with the hollowed, lightweight duraluminum handles which feature a specially coated anti-slip grip. Replacement tips are also available.

Then using a chassis droop gauge with elevated scales, measure the droop under the wheel axle hex, using the downstop screws to alter the suspension droop on each side of the car.
