K-Factory Shock Oil range

K-Factory have released a range of shock oils that have been made from 100% pure silicone oil with no additives or fillers to degrade performance. Unlike carbon based oils, silicone oil is non-flammable, temperature-stable and won’t attack your shock’s rubber o-rings or plastic parts. Protecting the inner components and seals means your shocks won’t leak and thus render them ineffective. Each 2.5 oz bottle of K Factory’s shock oil is clearly labeled for easy selection, perfect for your touring, on-road or off-road vehicle and are available in 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600 and 700 CST.

Ed Bridges joins Trinity R&D

Trinity Products Inc. have announced a new addition to their Nitro Program in the Research and Development team, with Ed Bridges from EB Mods. For those of you that may not already know Ed, he is the founder of EB Mods and a very experienced nitro R/C racer and mechanic. Ed had the following to say about the deal:

I made this move to Trinity to build a strong foundation with them and to make Trinity my home. Past business relations have always been month to month agreements with large orders of engines leaving little room for product development and support. Truth be told, I’ve been trying to get in with Trinity for a few years now, but Trinity never had a true nitro engine program in place, like they do with Jim Dieter in the electric division. So when I heard Trinity might start a new Nitro Program I contacted them and expressed my interest and went through the steps to get here. We all know in electric that Trinity is #1, so I hope to help make that true with nitro. Trinity has stepped-up and offered me the opportunity to prove this!
