Juho Levanen joins Revolution Design Racing Products

Revolution Design Racing Products announce the signing of Finland’s Juho Levanen to exclusively use RDRP’s range of Ultra tools and accessories. The 2-times European Champion and veteran Team Associated Factory driver has been using the tools for a while already and he had this to say about the deal:

I am very impressed by the durability and precision of the tools. Tools measurements are excellent as they are snug fit to screws. On top of this they look very cool.

Revolution Design B5/B5MM aluminium spring cups

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce their new Team Associated B5 series aluminium spring cups in +5mm offset configuration. They are a direct replacement for the stock plastic cups and improve spring fitment and overall rigidity for optimised suspension performance especially on high-bite surfaces that put a lot of stress on the suspension. The parts are CNC-machined from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, they are light of weight at only 1.65g per piece, they come blue anodised and laser-etched for that ultimate factory touch and to match the other forthcoming RDRP B5 series option parts.

RDRP B5 series VTS Slipper Option Kit

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the VTS Slipper Option Kit for the B5 and B5M, designed to make the most out of the original Team Associated clutch. The 4-piece kit replaces the standard outer and inner aluminium slipper plates with vented variants for improved heat dissipation and fading-free operation. Also the centre VTS plate is replaced with a vented and hard-coated aluminium plate while the VTS slipper housing, originally a moulded composite part, is supplied in a lightweight, blue anodised and laser-etched aluminium variant. Like the slipper plate the housing is of a vented design to not only allow for better heat dissipation but to also lower its weight. All parts are precision machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and they are a direct fit on both the B5 and B5M.

RDRP Ultra ball diff & thrust race greases

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce their new line of dedicated greases for the use with ball differentials and thrust races. The Ultra Ball Diff Grease was previously sold under the Vampire Racing brand and now makes a revival in Revolution Design’s chem series. Although gear differentials are a more common sight in today’s vehicles ball differentials are still a welcome tuning option when running in low to medium grip conditions. The grease is designed to perform in off-road buggies, touring cars and pan/formula cars. The white-colour ball diff grease comes in cups of 5g. Also new is the black thrust race grease. Containing finely ground graphite for improved load stability the lubricant is ideally used on the thrust races of ball differentials. Like the diff grease the thrust race lube comes in a handy cup containing 5g of grease.

RDRP Durango aluminium 1/10 big bore shock options

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the Team Durango aluminium big bore shock cap and preload nut R2 set. The revised parts are of an updated design to allow for a more convenient ride height adjustment and to create improved looks. The aluminium preload nuts are now modelled after RDRP’s popular Kyosho RB6 parts to make for ever better grip when adjusting the spring preload while the updated lower shock caps cover the machined recession that is not used when leaving the shock boots off. This makes for an overall sleeker look and easier cleaning. All parts are made from high quality 7075-T6 aluminium, the preload nuts are gold anodised while the shock caps are black of colour. Included with the set also come suitable rubber O-rings for the preload nuts.

RDRP Team Durango precision spur gears R2

New from Revolution Design Racing Products come updated spur gears for the use with Team Durango’s 1/10th scale off-road vehicles. The redesigned and wider Revolution2 gears offer improved durability compared to the previous spurs. The increased contact patch with the pinion is especially helpful when using low-turn modified motors while offering exceptional efficiency for stock spec classes. All gears feature machined venting and weight reducing holes to minimise heat build-up when running a soft slipper setting and they come with engraved size markings for easy identification. The gears are available as Stock racing 72T and Modified racing 87T variant.

Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Bearings

New from RDRP is a line of high-quality ball bearings as a replacement for worn-out ball races or as instant upgrade when building a new kit. Their special construction with a protective rubber seal on the “outer” side and a low-friction steel shield on the “inner” side maximise the protection against the elements while optimising the drivetrain’s efficiency compared to all-rubber shielded ball races. This makes them especially useful in demanding applications such as electric and nitro off-road racing. A low-drag lubricant further adds to the ultra smooth operation with the bearings being available as complete car sets for many Team Associated, Team C, Team Durango, Kyosho, Mugen, Schumacher, TLR, and Yokomo kits as well as individually in 4-piece sets.
