RC Maker Carbon Tweak Stick Pro End Plates

RC Maker has evolved one of its most popular products with the introduction of their brand new Carbon Tweak Stick Pro End Plates. These new end plates feature a black anodised 7075 aluminium hub with a carbon attachment that locates onto the upper bulkheads of your touring car. The hub features a vertical grub screw which locks the end plate down to the stick, making sure it always stays flat and in the same place. This design keeps the whole assembly more sturdy whilst you apply pressure to the stick. The new Tweak Stick Pro End Plates fit both the existing RC Maker tweak stick, and their new Tweak Stick Pro. So if you’ve already got the Original Tweak Stick, you can just upgrade with the new end plates. The new tweak stick pro stick itself, has some cool features which work well with these new end plates, and also offer access to centre motor mount screws which wasn’t possible on the original tweak stick. This new Tweak Stick Pro is sold separately to these end plates. Different cars require different versions of these end plates, so RC Maker offer different versions for each car.

MIBO Carbon handle Allen Wrenches

Adding to its range of products, MIBO has released a new range of hex wrenches. Featuring a light carbon handle and very hard tip with an all black handle and tip finish, the wrench size is marked on the aluminium insert of the handle. The MIBO Allen Wrench is designed with the needs of RC racing enthusiasts in mind. It’s lightweight carbon design makes it easy to carry in your pit box or toolbox. Thanks to sufficient dimensions and a solid surface it’s also comfortable during extensive use. The tip material was custom-made and thoroughly tested to find an optimal balance of hardness. The hex edges are highly resilient from stripping, so if you want a tip, that survives occasional bolt head strips without any harm, this one is for you. And while it’s not advised to use it as a lever, it’s still not overly easy to snap.
