Traxxas Top Fuel Power Plus

Traxxas have released their Top Fuel Power Plus, which has been quality blended with the best ingredients to protect our engines using superior additives such as a non-foaming agent for consistent running and a wetting agent to improve engine lubrication. Plus, high-performance anti-oxidants and rust inhibitors virtually eliminate the need for after run oil. The oil percentages are specially balanced to provide just the right amount of lubrication for long engine life and to provide the crisp, clean throttle response you demand in a car fuel.

Jaad Racing Cyclone pivot blocks

Jaad Racing have just released these optional pivot blocks for the Hot Bodies Cyclone. Available in + and – 0.5 degrees for the FR and RR pivot blocks, and a 3.5 degree front or rear pivot block, the user can achieve 3.0 degrees toe. Through their testing they found that wider pivot blocks make the car stiffer, and narrower blocks makes the car roll more, hence as a general rule wider blocks are used on the rear or narrower in the front when more steering is needed. All blocks are made from 7075 aluminium and have been purple anodised. Available now.

Predator X11 Big Bore shocks

Our mates over at oOple have the first information on the new ‘big bore’ shock absorbers from Team Extreme, manufacturers of the Predator X11 4WD electric buggy, who brought some of the first production examples to the recent Talywain BRCA National. Nathan Ralls has been testing the shocks behind closed doors for a while now, but has finally started to race the car in public – first time out at the recent South East regional, and a win for the new X11 driver with these new shocks. The new shock absorbers are the same length but Team Xtreme have maxxed out the diameter to the limits of what would fit within the existing range of springs.

More information can be found here.
