Schelle B44.3 -3mm chassis & B5 uprights

Coming soon from Schelle are some new options for the Associated B5 and B44.3. For the B5 there is a new 2-piece aluminium rear hub. The new design helps prevent the ball being pulled from the upright in an impact, while at the same time being replaceable if it gets damaged. Only 1 gram heavier than the stock part it features molded bearing inserts and allows for fine adjustment of the link position, relative to the upright, through the use of shims. For the 4wd B44.3 there is a new 3mm shorter aluminium chassis plate with corresponding top deck. The new setup helps create more on power traction as well as make the car turn more fluidly in the corners. Finally from Schelle is a small bottle of synthetic bearing oil, which is the same oil used on their ceramic bearings, but can now be used on all your bearings for its very fine low drag characteristics. Comes in a handle bottle with fine tip for precise application.

RDRP Ultra ball diff & thrust race greases

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce their new line of dedicated greases for the use with ball differentials and thrust races. The Ultra Ball Diff Grease was previously sold under the Vampire Racing brand and now makes a revival in Revolution Design’s chem series. Although gear differentials are a more common sight in today’s vehicles ball differentials are still a welcome tuning option when running in low to medium grip conditions. The grease is designed to perform in off-road buggies, touring cars and pan/formula cars. The white-colour ball diff grease comes in cups of 5g. Also new is the black thrust race grease. Containing finely ground graphite for improved load stability the lubricant is ideally used on the thrust races of ball differentials. Like the diff grease the thrust race lube comes in a handy cup containing 5g of grease.
