GB Modelsport stainless steel screw sets

GB Modelsport has introduced its own range of high grade, lightweight stainless steel screws and screw sets. Starting with the 213 piece screw set for THE Car by JQ Products, the range also includes over 30 different metric pan head, button head and countersunk screws, lock nuts and set screws, each packed in quantities of 10 in handy re-sealable bags. All of these products are manufactured from a high grade, strong but lightweight stainless steel with precision socket heads for long life, with screw threads that offer improved ‘grab’ and feel compared to most stock black oxide steel screws, and they are of course highly resistant to corrosion.

dBoots MultiByte 1:8 buggy tires

Now commercially available and ready for the first National of the season are the latest performance engineered tyres from dBoots, the MultiByte ‘A’ compound for 1/8 off road, their first for this class. Developed in the UK for Astroturf tracks, the innovative duel level Multibyte tread which is proving popular in 10th scale, has an operational window somewhere between angle-spikes and minipins. The MultiByte in their ‘A’ compound could give you the speed and endurance edge you require. There are side ribs to limit the side bite and the spikes designed with a step so they can be trimmed to a shorter stump to tune the grip levels.

X-Factory X-7 4wd prototype buggy

X-Factory showed off its new 4wd car for the first time at the recently completed Cactus Classic. This photo show the prototype X-7 with a J Concepts body made for the B44. The production car will have its own body. “I’m so excited about this car” said Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair. “The X-7 is absolutely revolutionary. You have never seen a driveline like this, you have never seen adjustability this easy or quick. Working on the car is very easy; I can pull a diff, rebuild it, and have the car ready to run in 10 minutes.” Paul added, “We’re working very hard on this project. We will make almost everything on the car, it will be a complete kit, not a conversion. This is the first time I’ve actually designed everything on the car from the ground up. There is a long way to go, lots of testing and development. Ellis Stafford will have my original race prototype sometime next week. We hope to have it on the market late this year or spring of 2012.”
