Fast Race 1/8th buggy tyre cutter

From Fast Race and made to cut 1/8th buggy tyres off their wheel is this tyre cut device. The simple yet clever tool is usable with most of today’s 1/8th rims, made of sturdy aluminium and it makes re-using rims easier. An adjustable holder takes a standard scalpel blade so no unusual blades are needed once they need to be replaced. Using the device is pretty simply as you can see from the video that can be found after the break. The tyre cutter will become available by beginning of November.

Star Plug T-type high-current connectors

New from Hobbico come the Star Plug T-type high-current connectors. Compatible with the iconic Deans Ultra Plug they sport an updated design that does away with the need to use shrink tube on the exposed terminals as they are covered by a snap-on back cap cover. A tapered shape and grip strips make for fast and easy separation of the male and female part while gold-plated male terminals allow for excellent conductivity and nickel-plated female terminals improve wear resistance and life. The plugs are usable with up to 12AWG wire when using the back covers and with thicker 10AWG wire without covers.
