Capricorn C803 front differential

Capricorn have introduced a front differential set for their C803 1/8th scale car. Intended for the use in low-grip conditions, using a front differential gives a different on-track feeling and allows for 4-wheel braking while also making the car easier to drive. When used with a 30T front pulley the suggested diameter delta between rear and front wheels is 6mm instead of the usual 7mm, whereas when using a 29T pulley the delta should be brought down to 4.5mm.

Arrma Senton & Granite 1/10th 4×4 RTR trucks

Arrma have introduced their all-new Senton and Granite 1/10th 4×4 Mega ready-to-run trucks. Both utilise the same full-time 4WD transmission and chassis and the vehicles feature sturdy front and rear differentials, telescopic driveshafts and a slipper clutch to get the power to the ground. Large volume composite plastic shock absorbers soak up all of the terrain’s imperfections while raised chassis side rails keep dust, dirt and moisture away from the servo, receiver and steering servo. The packages are rounded off by 2.4GHz radio systems, wall chargers, 8.4V NiMH batteries and 15T brushed motors. The Senton comes with a short course truck body and grippy SC tyres while the Granite shows off a monster truck body and MT-style tyres and wheels.

Raceform Lazer 1/10th buggy tyre gluing jig

Raceform’s Lazer buggy tyre gluing jig is now also available in a variant for 1/10th buggy dirt tyres. Compact and light of weight, the jig features a clincher roller that peels off the tyre bead while automatically aligning the bead after applying the glue and further rotating the tyre. The overall design makes for extremely convenient operation while an anti-slip under site allows for a secure stand on the pit table or workbench. An anti see-saw effect fastener knob keeps the wheel flat to the disc during gluing the inside portion of the tyre. The smart design greatly reduces rotation, making the process even faster. The tool is machined from high-quality plexiglas, it takes all standard 1/10th off-road rims and dirt tyres and comes with various stacker discs to adjust the deck height for all tyres of wheels, as well as two angled needle applicators and a decal sheet.
