Reds Racing Race Ready by Elliott Boots engines

Italian engine makers Reds Racing have introduced the new Reds Race Ready by Elliott Boots engines. These engines are the first of their kind and they allow racers to be able to utilise engines that have been broken in and race ready tuned by 2-times European Champion Elliott Boots. The break-in and final tuning will be made directly on the car using the best quality fuel to ensure performance and reliability with the engines being delivered ready for clutch and exhaust assembly and installation in the car. The break-in process allows to use the engine under race conditions from the get go with no additional run-in procedure necessary. The service is available on the Reds Racing R5T Team Edition and R7 Evoke engines and buyers can also choose to combine the engines in a combo kit with their own exhaust and/or Quattro clutch system that will be broken in as well.

“Leaked” image teases Kyosho Turbo Scorpion re-release

"Leaked" image teases Kyosho Turbo Scorpion re-release

A first “leaked” teaser image of the expected Kyosho Turbo Scorpion re-release buggy has appeared on the internet. Following the re-release of the 1980’s Tomahawk, Scorpion and Beetle kits, the former top-of-the-foodchain Turbo Scorpion would be a sensible next step in the company’s re-release schedule. The somewhat blurry image shows a buggy with brushless motor and what appear to be modern 2.2″ rims and tyres, showing the release might target the growing interest in vintage racing. We bring you more information on the possible release as soon as they become available.

Serpent Viper 977 Rear End Upgrade set

Serpent Viper 977 rear end upgrade set-1

Coming from Serpent and made for the Viper 977 1/8th on-road kit is the Rear End Upgrade set. Usable on the standard 977 and also the Evo, the included parts move the inner hinge pins closer to the centre line of the chassis which in combination with longer pivotballs makes for effectively longer suspension arms. The upgrade results in more overall traction, a more stable rear end both under acceleration and braking and thus overall higher corner speeds. The set includes new main bearings blocks, rear plate, suspension brackets and shock mounts as well as longer steel pivot balls, a new carbon fibre camber bracket and it is rounded out by longer camber rods, ball joints and pivot balls.

Coming from T-Works are 7075-T6 aluminium pivot balls for Team Associated’s sixth generation buggies. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminium and coming hard-anodised for wear the 6mm pivot balls scrub a good amount of weight compared to their steel counter parts and they are usable on the lower shock ball cups and also the chassis’ waterfall-to-gearbox connection. The set includes five pivot balls, enough to equip all four shocks and the chassis brace.

JConcepts Wash Brush tyre cleaning brush

JConcepts have introduced their innovative Wash Brush, a brush purpose built to make tyre washing easier. Tyre washing is a common sight in both nitro and electric off-road racing and it’s common to attach a brush to a re-sealable bucket for repeated pit use; however, it’s difficult to attach the brush. The JConcepts product eliminates the hassle by including the properly built RC brush with hardware and O-rings in each package. Moulded black in colour with JC logo for authenticity, the wash brush is a no-brainer item for the pits and around the track, home and pit area.
