Some new items from Fenix Racing for their G56 pan car, starting with this new bumper. Shaped aerodynamically, it not only protects the front of the car but also helps generate more front end grip for improved high speed cornering. Also for the G56 are some optional front tuning springs, blue hard springs and white medium soft springs.
Reds Racing have teased their upcoming onroad engine, called the Pista. We have no other information about it except what we see in the image above, the notch in the mounting lugs suggesting they will now use same newer engine base as their latest offroad offerings. Full details as we get them.

Core RC’s new line-up of grease has been extensively tested by the Schumacher engineering department and factory race team to have you covered for all applications and comes supplied in larger than normal 10ml pots. First up is the red high performance lithium complex grease which is best for lubrication of plastic gears, universal joints and driveshaft bone pins/blades and diff output interfaces. Suitable for a higher temperature than the multi purpose grease. Next up is the silicone ball diff grease, for use on the main balls of a diff. Stable and consistent for many runs, it is made from 100% pure silicone. The multi purpose lithium grease is a general purpose lower cost lithium grease, suitable for plastic gears, universal joints and metal interfaces. Finally there is the molybdenum or better known as moly grease, mainly used for thrust races in ball diffs but also good for metal gears and CVD’s for its high loading properties. Not to be used on plastics.

One of the best ways to sling the dirt and sand is with the new Animal and Hawk tires by JConcepts. The Animal is a large height, paddle rear tire, cutting through the dust, sand and dirt while spraying rooster-tails against the competition. The 3.0” x 2.2” carcass has strategically placed upper paddles with a scoop shape to thrust into any patch of terrain and blow right through it. One of the details is the smooth carcass with mock cut-off paddle sections which is a common sight in 1:1 tires. The Hawk multi-rib front tires are directional and meant to cut-through the loam and silt dirt. The 3.0” x 2.2” narrowed carcass has strategically placed radius ribs in a step-up fashion to give turning traction during different depths of surface conditions. Both tires are for Short Course trucks and 1:1 inspired to provide best in class looks and performance. Available loose or pre mounted for Slash.
