Fenix introduce new Pro10 diffs & silicone fluids

Fenix have introduced a new Pro10 gear differential specifically designed for the popular VIP Performance VTE kit, a prototype ball differential as well as a range of silicone fluids. Starting with the VIP gear diff, the assembly uses a 7mm titanium axle and a new diff housing that allows for proper 235mm specifications. Included in the kit comes a clamping diff hub with M3 and 4-40 unc threads that allows to use either of the two. As for the prototype ball differential, it builds on a 1/4 inch titanium axle for durability and precision, it utilises 16 1/8 inch diff balls for smoothness and like the above gear diff, it will make use of the double thread clamping hub. Last but not least comes Fenix’s new silicone fluid range that covers everything from shock to touring diff up to gear diff silicone oils. The 100 percent pure silicone oils are made in Europe and they come in convenient snap cap bottles.

Project Godspeed PG-10 Pro10 front suspension kit

Project Godspeed from Germany have introduced their new PG-10 front suspension kit for the VIP Performance VTE and Vorlon Pro10 pan cars. The complex yet lightweight front end allows for the adjustment of parameters such as roll centre, caster and reactive caster and by doing away with the standard aluminium bulkheads it is very light of weight. With the addition of optional tube dampers even finer adjustments are accessible. The set is designed to work with 3.15mm king pin front axles such as the likes of Team Associated, Roche and Xenon. Parts needed for completion include pivot balls, kingpins, steering knuckles, wheel axles, ball cups and turnbuckles.

VIP Performance VTE 235mm Pro10 kit

German brand VIP Performance has released first images of their forthcoming VTE 235mm Pro10 kit. Based off of the championship-winning Vorlon, the VTE will feature a new thinner main chassis plate with side rails, it will utilise a 4mm lower V-link geometry and 2mm lower side links. To this add a new upper damper plate, a floating servo mount, a redesigned top deck for less tweak as well as new side wings. The car is meant to be lighter, it offers improved cornerspeed due to the optimised chassis stiffness and it will generate more traction for low grip conditions. The wider pod kit and HD bumper will also be part of the kit that is set for a release this Spring.
