MXLR Turbo Fan Style Steering Wheel

New from Max Machler’s MXLR brand comes this Turbo Fan Style Steering Wheel for the Sanwa M17, MT-5, and MT-R transmitters. Wheels are a big thing in car design, not only for performance reasons, they are also a major part of the design and in many cases forever remembered in combination with the legacy of famous racing cars. The MXLR Turbo Fan Style Steering wheel is a homage to the legendary winning car of the 24h Race in 1982. The steering wheel has the original dimensions of the standard Sanwa M17 steering wheel and is suitable for all versions of the following Sanwa Transmitters – M17, M12, MT-4, MT-44, MT-5, MT-R and MT-S. While no foam not included, you can just swap your current foam onto the new wheel. Depending on the “grip” of your steering wheel foam it’s recommended to use a thin double sided tape to secure the foam on the wheel.

MXLR A800 M-FlexBumper | Rear Body Support

New from MXLR comes this M-FlexBumper for the Awesomatix A800 platform which is a weight optimised version of the German brands popular FlexBumper. The goal of the new ‘M-shape’ bumper was to offer a lighter version thas remains stable and strong enough. Coming in at 8.8 grams, more than 3g lighter than their standard FlexBumper version, it is only 3g. heavier than the kit foam bumper. The M-FlexBumper for the A800R/RR & A800FXR matches the original footprint, but with a lower overall profile. Also new is a Rear Body Support that prevents the deflection of lightweight body shells, especially at higher speeds, while also reducing the risk of cracking the wheel arches of the body shell. The result is an extended lifetime of your body shells combined with better performance on the track as the shell will stay in its original shape and produce more downforce. The MXLR Rear Body Support is made of high quality material which is very durable and offers excellent impact resistance. In the design process special care was taken regarding the A800R bulkhead design and the importance of “flex” in this area with Rear Body Support designed to have the least flex influence possible.

Germany’s MXLR has released a new V2 formulation of its Ball Bearing oil and its Driveshaft & Gears oil. The newly refined Ball Bearing oil was developed once again in close collaboration with a specialised German manufacturer and is further optimised to reduce rolling resistance even more efficiently and ensure a freer drivetrain with reduced power loss. The new light-blue coloring helps easily distinguish it from the original version and makes application more visible. Ultra-thin consistency means just 1–2 drops are enough to penetrate sealed bearings and deliver long-lasting performance and protection. The new V2 Driveshaft & Gears oil offers improved wear protection, stronger adhesion, and still maintains exceptional freedom of movement. Even under high RPM, the oil continues to lubricate critical components reliably. As before, both oils come in 10ml bottles with precise metal tip to ensure clean and effortless application.
