Answer RC Black Losi 8ight CVD axles

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.

RPM Adjustable Height Slash 4×4 body mounts

RPM’s new adjustable height body mounts for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 are designed to give you optional body height positions where stock left you none. This version of the Slash 4×4 body mount starts off lower than stock by 1/8” (or approx. 3.2mm) and they supply a pair of molded spacers to allow you the option of a stock height body position using the thin spacer under the body mount. If monster suspension travel is needed or you just like the higher stance and larger wheel well openings a taller body mount provides, you can increase the height by 1/8” using the thicker of the two spacers. In extreme cases, both spacers may be used for a full 1/4”* (6.35mm) of extra body height. Engineered with new, larger ribs into the mounts to provide extra rigidity and support for the body while keeping weight to a minimum.

Sweep Racing USA signs Mike Haynes

Ready to kick off a great outdoor season, Sweep Racing USA have announced that 2009 ROAR National champion Mike Haynes has joined their national level team. Having great success in the past in rubber tire classes he will have a very important roll on the team, helping drivers & customers with setup and rubber tire fundamentals, along with testing and development the latest product before production. Mike has already begun running for Sweep since last month and had this to say.

After having the opportunity to test out these tires i am very excited to be helping promote the brand within the US. The tires run very consistently run to run and in rubber tire racing this is key! Many tires are fast for a couple of runs but the Sweeps seem to be fast for many.
