With just days to go before the World Championships, Sweep Racing have released the Square Armor, a tire that would last longer and work better in various conditions. Taking on board what they have learnt in testing and listening to team drivers, they developed this tire which would fill that void in their tire line up. The tread size is the same as the Exagon but is 0.5mm thicker to prevent unexpected tire expansion under high revs. Supplied with the new V2 GRVD molded foam insert it fits on 81~83mm size wheels. Sweep have also released a new truggy dish wheel. Featuring an oversized diameter (100mm) for superior performance, it has a special cavity design that prevents the wheel nuts backing off and a rougher finish on the gluing surfaces for easier assembly. A gloss finish on the inside of the wheels for less mud build up and zero off-set, they are available in black, white and yellow.

TOP Racing was recently present at the All Japan Model and Hobby show in Tokyo and showed of an number of new exciting parts. Firstly was the announcement of the Rebel 10 & Rebel 10SS, which are the next in the Rebel pan car series following the earlier release of the Rebel 12. The Rebel 10 is a 1/10 World GT class car while the Rebel 10SS is a 1/10 Oval Class chassis, both are due for a December release. Also on display for the Photon was their new Alloy/Graphite Hybrid Steering Crank. Due for a release in November, this is a stronger optional replacement of the original steering crank. Not only is it more durable, it also gives more accurate steering than the original counterpart. This new alloy/graphite hybrid design simplifies the machining process and is therefore more cost effective, without sacrificing performance and strength.
