RM2 Mushroom Scuff Pads

JConcepts, under the RM2 brand of Ryan Maifield, has released Mushroom Scuff Pads to help racers with prepping their tyres for mounting and racing conditions.  Racers have used moto-tools with sanding drums, sandpaper, flexible open-web pads, and highly abrasive items to scuff tyre beads prior to mounting, but now JConcepts has combined the handheld padded material into a cylindrical option fastened to a shank which allows racers to mount straight to a moto-tool.  The RM2 mushroom scuff pad allows repeated use, quick and easy attachment, and scuffing results without a deep burn or penetration into tyre beads.  Available in two different grit patterns, the green is more abrasive and should be used on tyres which have omitted a lot of surface bloom, cloud, or crud on the bead area.  The red item produces a slightly lighter texture upon sanding and with its softer nature is ideal for clay compound tyres and beads that do not require as much cleaning or scuff to the bead.  Each package contains 10 pieces to ensure a healthy selection for many tire mounting applications.

Perfect Pass RC Diamond 200Mph+ Speed Wheels

All wheels may be round but they are not all equal and Florida based Perfect Pass RC has released their Diamond Wheels and tyre for 200+ mph which it has been developing 18-months.  The premium aluminium speed run wheels feature a 7075 aluminium rim with a proprietary rubber tyre and are built to replace foam wheels on plastic rim for 17mm hex RC cars.  Built for high speed runs, at 200+ mph, a tyre is under 20,000+ Gs of force trying to rip it apart.  Foam tires break down and plastic rims flex and wobble leading to cars getting destroyed so Perfect Pass RC came up with the Diamind Wheel as a solution.  Each rim is meticulously machined from super high quality 7075 aluminium at 97.5 mm OD by 42 mm wide with a tire thickness of 5.75mm.   The tyre is made from a proprietary blend of five specially made rubbers and elastomers that took 18 months to develop a tyre that can take the extreme forces at such high speeds run keeping its shape, rigidity and unmatched traction.  The glue that holds the tyre to the aluminium rim is also their own proprietary technology, and took months and months to develop. It is made to keep the tyre locked to the rim.  The axle hole and the 17mm hex pocket were carefully sized to be as tight as possible, to eliminate vibration, and at the same time big enough to fit most 17mm hex types on the market.  Having tried many blends and for speed runs, 50 Shore was the sweet spot between traction, durability and rigidity.  While 40-45 Shore gave slightly better traction, price was paid with reduced durability while 60-65 Shore felt too slippery and stability was sacrificed.
