More new products from Answer-RC who have released their ceramic diff and thrust race balls, the result of a great amount of research into the product. These grade 3 balls are the highest spec ceramic ball commercially available, this translates into a rounder, smoother and more accurate ball. The advantages are many, firstly you will get a longer life from both the diff balls and plates meaning less strip downs. They are lighter than traditional Tungsten Carbide balls giving lower rotating mass and reduced spool up time and you will always get balls that are matched in size so no diffs that do not run true due to inaccurate sized balls. Available in 12 packs of 1/16″, 5/64″, 2.5mm, 3/32″ and 1/8″ versions.

New from Shepherd for their Velox V10 come a number of new optional parts. First up is the new CNC-machined brass battery tray that allows you to increase the weight in the best possible position, in the center of the chassis plate. Weighing 41g the perfectly balanced battery tray lowers the center of gravity significantly and improves the handling of the V10 especially on high traction tracks. The new wide front bumper allows the use for Lola type bodies for the Velox V10 and additionally is said increases steering in fast corners because of improved aerodynamics. New soft black springs increase the possibilities to fine-tune the V10 to specific track conditions. And finally especially for the front differential of the V10 many racers requested harder silicone diff oils and so now there is 200.000cSt, 250.000cSt and 300.000cSt.

Answer RC have now made available a black version of their popular Losi 8 CVD Axles for both centre and wheel hubs. Specially hard coated in a tough black anodising to suit the EU Edition of the Losi 8 2.0, these CNC machined 7075 Aero grade aluminium CVD axles massively reduce rotating mass in the drive train of your vehicle, giving quicker spool up, reduced braking time and sharper handling. The Answer-RC CVD axles have been specially machined with additional CVD pin holes meaning that as the fit becomes sloppy they can simply be rotated round to the next set of holes.
