X-Grip B-Revolution traction compound

Coming from X-Grip is their new B-Revolution tyre traction compound for rubber and foam tyres. Extensively tested and tweaked by X-Grip’s team drivers, the tyre sauce is of a universal formula that allows to cover pretty much every traction condition, ranging from low to high-bite, with the soak-in time allowing to adjust the overall traction available from a tyre. For the use on high-grip tracks a ten minutes application time is recommended while more traction can be produced for lower grip tracks, such as outdoor asphalt, when applying the compound 20 minutes before a run and using tyre warmers to work the compound into the tyre surface. For foam tyres an application time of about 15 minutes is recommended. The traction compound comes in handy foam applicator plastic bottles and it is available from now on.

XactRC Traction Juice Bottles

Coming from XactRC are their new traction compound bottles that can be filled with your choice of traction juice. The ergonomics of the 4oz bottle is just the right size for small or large hands and the translucent material allows for easy checking of how much sauce is remaining, its cleanliness or type of solution. The bottle is available with two replaceable tips. First is the replaceable brush tip that is specifically designed for off-road use. With the brush tip, drovers no longer have to use both a sauce bottle to apply then use a separate brush to apply. This is ideal for those who are tired of having their hands dirty from different tyre sauces and chemicals. Second is the replaceable sponge tip that is ideal for on-road racers, or anyone using slicks or very low pin tyres. The triangle shape of the sponge allows for applying the sauce in a controlled manner and in a straight line on the tyre and not the sidewalls. The tips are also available separately.
