RB Exhaust protect spray

Seen during our coverage of the Toy Fair in Germany last month, RB Products have now released their Exhaust protect spray. Spraying it on your exhaust system prevents dirt, such as tire foam, fuel, exhaust gas and dust, sticking to its surface so you can keep it clean longer. The dirt on the exhaust system can cause cooling problems which can lead to a decrease in performance. The spray can resist very high temperatures and also works very well on the nylon parts of the cars.

JConcepts Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows

New from Florida based JConcepts are 3 new tires types, Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows. Sevens are a result of 2-years of research and development on the world and national 1/8th buggy circuit. They incorporate the small pin design of the Double Dee’s combined with directional and functional undertones which produce increased grip while reducing wear. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Sevens these worries are a thing of the past. Running qualifiers and main events on the same quick tire is now possible. Combining the unique Sevens lug technology with the sticky yellow and blue compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. These new tires excel on hard packed or blue groove conditions where the track surface has started to take rubber. Available in Medium Yellow or Soft Blue compounds.
