Maxima Mx R6 .21 nitro on-road engine

Following the GT1 3.5cc GT engine, Maxima have introduced the Mx R6 3.5cc on-road engine. The power plant is based on the O.S. Speed R2102 and underwent several modifications to further improve the performance. Tuned for the use with 16 percent nitro fuel the engine also features a DLC-coated and tungsten-weighted crankshaft, a new ceramic main bearing for decreased internal friction and an additional combustion camber insert allows for finer engine tuning when required. On top of this a low centre of gravity cooling head lowers the over CG of the car. The factory selected, modified and tuned engines become available very soon.

Contact introduce new GT12 & LMP tyre range

Contact Racing Tyres have introduced a new range of tyres for GT12 and LMP12 classes. The new compounds give more options for varying carpet and additive conditions and they include the T and World Championship winning Team Bomber foam, mounted on stiffer black wheels. Starting with the T foam, it is the most complete in the range. It benefits from performance and lap times equal or better than Q foam, with the added benefit of being easier to drive, less twitchy and easy to attack the track with. It also has much better durability, lower wear rates, close to A foam, and when using the non-oil type additives, keeps grip to the end of the race much better than Contact’s other options, making it a choice on all carpet types.

RDRP RC8B3 titanium shock mounts

Made for Team Associated’s 3rd generation 1/8th off-road vehicles are the new RDRP titanium shock mounts. Machined from high-quality titanium material for the lowest possible weight while keeping exceptional structural rigidity, the parts were designed to do away with the original steel mount and screw in place for a 1-piece solution that scrubs about 1g of weight per piece. On top of this the design also allows for easier shock angle changes as there is only a single nut to undo in order to slide the mounts out of the shock tower. All needed mounting hardware is included and the titanium shock mounts are compatible with the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.
