New from Hudy, the universal conrod puller simplifies engine disassembly for maintenance or repair. This unique puller is used to disconnect the conrod from the crankshaft, making it much easier to remove a new or tight conrod from the engine. The conrod is safely removed by clamping the black anodised aluminium fork behind the conrod and turning the wheel. Suitable for all standard .12 and .21 engines, the black anodised fork body is machined from lightweight aluminium with the high quality spring steel puller shaft providing extra strength.

Xtreme Aerodynamics have introduced a new 1/10 FWD class body shell, named the She-Rock. Because of the limited power and the understeer nature of this category, deep CFD analysis have been carried out to maximise corner speed and aero efficiency. Every section has been studied to optimise the global flow, bonnet shape, front spoiler, side skirt and roof details are examples. Extensive testing showed a smooth handling, fast transition and optimal aero balance on mid corner resulting in overall performance improvement and consistency.

More teasers from FX Engines, this time for the G501. Again we have little to no further information to go on, the name would suggest a 5 port engine, while the G could mean that it is specific to the GT class. We will know more soon enough.

From Exotek come this new heavy duty alloy rear hub set for the EB410.2 and ET410.2. Switching the ball stud to an upright angle, the part still matches the stock geometry, but makes for easier roll centre adjustments by adding washers (not included) and the hubs are omnidirectional so that they can be mounted on either side of the vehicle. Extra durable for high powered applications and polished and anodised in Tekno team colours, they are then machined a second time to insure precise bearing fit.
