Corner Speed RC lubricants

Coming from Corner Speed RC are three new lubricants for various applications in RC racing. First up is the Max-Rev high speed bearing oil, a low viscosity lubricant. It has been carefully formulated and tested to maximise the efficiency of the lube in the toughest of conditions. It contents a special additive that helps the lube to working consistency under extremely high RPM and it comes in a 10ml needle tip bottle that make it easy to apply on any small bearings and parts. Next up is the Maxi-Free CV joint lube, a deeply penetrating teflon lubricant that works for on-road and off-road applications. The wet lubricant dries out on the parts, leaving a super hard and extremely durable film that does not attract dirt and keeps away carpet fluff and tyre rubber. The fluid comes in an easy to use fine tip bottle. Last but not least comes the Steel 2 Plastic dry lubricant for all metal-to-plastic and plastic-to-plastic connections. It prevents dirt and grime to build up inside plastic joints for long lifespan while helping them working consistently in different conditions. The lube is great for all on-road and off-road applications.

Rebellion-RC T4 low profile conversion kit

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a low profile conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. The set allows for a somewhat radical shock conversion that places the dampers 5mm lower compared to the standard setting for an overall lower centre of gravity. In addition the updated geometry optimises overall damping for higher corner speeds, less traction rolling in high-grip conditions and a more linear shock action. The set, that fits the 2017 to 2019 variants of the T4, contains all needed parts, including shock towers, lower arm extensions and machined original T4 arms. As usual with Rebellion-RC’s carbon fibre optionals, the set is available in twelve different carbon fibre weave colours and all parts, as well as the machined arms, are also available separately for spares or repair.
