Raw Speed Rip Tide 1/10th buggy rear tyre

Coming from Raw Speed is the all-new Rip Tide 1/10th buggy rear tyre. Utilising an entirely new carcass to create a uniform contact patch as the vehicle’s chassis leans while cornering, the tyre also breaks in more quickly, getting on race pace earlier for big events. The bar-type tread also generates a lot of forward traction with plenty of side bite so racers can trust their car in every corner. The tyre comes including closed cell inserts and in clay, soft or super soft compound.

Race Opt touring car body height adjusters

Race Opt have introduced their new body height adjusters for touring car kits. Making use of a common design, the adjusters allow to easily fine-tune the body height in a 3.5mm to 4mm range with the rear parts sporting a unique design that is meant to improve overall downforce and rear traction as the body rests on enlarged platforms which results in optimised body shell support. Each height adjuster weighs in at about a gram and it is understood that the sets are available separately for the front and the rear.

MIP No.1.5 & No.1 Pucks rebuild kit

MIP No.1.5 Pucks are a direct update for those users that find No.1 Pucks screws are coming in contact with the aluminium outdrives over time. By switching over to the taller No.1.5 Pucks it will effectively eliminate the chance of the capturing screw head coming in contact with the outdrive face during wear or articulation, since the screw head is now up and out of the way. And being that the No.1.5 Pucks is taller there is now more surface area for the system to spread load, which will improve overall wear. No.1 Pucks and pins will always be usable in a bind but MIP recommend the use of No.1.5 Pucks. They are also a direct replacement for the front and rear diff assembly of the recently introduced MIP B64 13.5 performance bundle package. Also available as a rebuild kit are the No.1 Pucks that are used for the B64 centre diff assembly.
