Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new Ultra pinion holder in the updated R2 design. Designed to take up to 16 pinion gears from 15T to 30T size and helping to keep those valuable gears sorted, the holder is CNC-machined from a single piece of 7075-T6 aluminium, and comes with a shiny black finish with laser-engraved logos and markings – with the R2 design sporting an updated overall appearance for even cooler looks.
Ruddog Distribution have introduced their new protection and heat shield tape. 50mm wide and coming as 200cm rolls, the aluminium tape is ideal to reinforce and protect body shells in the bumper, wheel arch and exhaust area as it is not only super strong but also highly heat-resistant. While preventing body shells from becoming damaged it is also ideal as a wrap around for fuel tanks as it keeps away engine and exhaust heat, preventing the plastic tanks from swelling or melting.
