Schumacher touring car wheel arch cutting jig

Schumacher have released a wheel arch cutting jig for 1/10th touring cars. The jig ensures accurate and repeatable cutting out of wheel arches time after time. Simply set the car to the required ride height and position the body shell to the desired height. Position the jig flush with the outside of the body shell and locate the centre of the axle through the hole in the tool. The end radius is different from side to side to prevent body tucks so the the jig’s orientation is critical. Hold the jig and draw round the inside with a fine marker pen and then carefully cut to the line with a pair of curved scissors. The jig can also measure wing overhang with the handy 10mm step.

Hot Race Miami 1/8th buggy tyres

The third in the line of Hot Race Tyres’ new 1/8th buggy tyres is the Miami. The medium-size pin tread offering builds on a special carcass with round shoulders, making for a tyre that is less prone to unsettle the car over ruts and worn-out sections of the track while an inner mesh makes for lower and more even tyre wear. The tyre is available in supersoft, soft, medium and hard compound from beginning of January.
