West Coast R/C Works TireTurner | F1 Tire Vise

US company West Coast R/C Works has released this TireTurner along with its F1 Tire Vise.  The TireTurner is a motorized gadget to simplify gluing tire sidewalls.  It features a modular arbor design allowing for multi-class capabilities. Furthermore, it has a variable speed control allowing for easy and fast gluing.  Gluing the sidewall of your front tires to control corner grip and traction roll is already an art form with the wide variety of glues, layer thickness, and how far to go.  The TireTurner works on a wide input voltage range of 3-12V, making hookup very easy.  In addition to the TireTurner they have also introduced their F1 TireVise to provide consistent and easy operation to simplify tire assembly. Designed specifically for F1 tires, it can be used to glue the inside and outside of both front and rear F1 tires. It also helps create a consistent bond, reducing variability when building tires.  It naturally centres tires for a consistent gap for gluing and secure clamping mean it won’t open without unscrewing, allowing for hands-free operation.

Takashima D-13 Tungsten Weight

New from Takashima D-13 comes this new range of Tungsten weights.  Because tungsten alloy has a much higher density than copper, it allows for a smaller volume at the same weight.  This makes it easier for RC drivers to achieve their desired ballast within limited space. Unlike other tungsten alloy weights on the market, the Takashima D-13 weight block features a brand-new design that uses a 3 mm screw with a metal washer, supporting both screw-mount and double-sided-tape mounting options.  This gives drivers the freedom to choose and enables quick-release, quick-install functionality.
