Pro-Line Phantom body & pre-cut wings

New from Pro-Lines comes the Phantom design body shell for Kyosho RB6 and Tamiya 201XR/XM cars as well as pre-cut Stabilizer 6.5″ and 7″ wings. Starting with the body, the Lee Martin design item features an all-new cab forward look and sweeping body lines that flow back to a single point. The optional centre fin adds additional high speed stability and finishes off the design of the body. As usual it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet. The Stabilizer wings combine style, performance and durability, add rear traction and high speed stability and are made from genuine lexan material. They now are also available precision pre-cut to make the somewhat fiddly task of fitting the wing even easier. Available are a medium-size 6.5″ and a large 7″ variant.

New from Avid come diff thrust bearings for Kyosho, Yokomo and Tamiya kits. Available as standard steel, tungsten carbide and ceramic ball variant the caged bearings are ideal to upgrade any car that makes use of 6mm thrust washers and 2.6mm diff screws. The steel ball variant is the cheapest of the three offering good performance and an economical price while the tungsten carbide bearing has more true in size balls for a smoother and longer lasting bearing. Last but not least comes the ceramic ball offering with the hardest material used for the smoothest possible diff feeling but also the most narrow window of adjustment.
