CRC introduce new Formula rim & pre-mounted tyres

New from Calandra Racing Concepts come new Formula rims and pre-mounted tyres. Starting with the Pro-Mount wheels, the rims are purpose-designed for the use with rubber tyres, such as CRC’s RT-1, the TCS F1 and the Pit Shimizu F1 line of tyres. With moulded-in mounting ribs, the Pro-Mount offers an improvement over some other wheels that are nothing more than foam tyre rims without guidance ribs. With CRC’s new wheel the rib guides the tyre bead in the right place, not allowing the tyre to be mounted too far on the wheel, making tyre mounting much easier. Swinging over to the pre-mounted tyres, they come pre-glued and are ready to have fun. The RT-1 tyres have already proven themselves in the World GT-R category of racing. The high-performance belted tyres are of super long wear, providing multiple seasons of use on carpet surfaces. They mount to CRC’s new Pro-Mount wheel and come in sets of four and they will be available in limited quantities in mid March.

MIP Ten-SCTE Roller Pucks shiny drive system

MIP have introduced the Roller Pucks shiny drive system for the Losi Ten-SCTE short course truck. Building on the design features of the MIP Pucks system the Roller Pucks utilise large diameter metal bushings in favour of the standard small diameter pins to make for improved wear characteristics as the Roller Puck material is softer than the hardened steel outdrives. Included in the set are a pair of shiny CVD bones, two Pucks outdrives, metal pucks and it is usable with the Losi Ten-SCE 1.0, TLR Ten-SCTE 2.0 as well as the Losi Ten-Rally X.

WRC F-One adjustable friction roll damper

Italian company WRC have introduced a new adjustable roll damper for the F-One formula car. The design revolves around the inner piston that can be equipped with one to three rubber O-rings in order to adjust the friction of the damper with the single O-ring offering the least and the triple O-ring specification offering the most friction. Additional fine-tuning is possible by using highly viscous oils or greases. The damper not only fits the F-One but many other formula cars with a single roll damper.
