Eagle Racing Shock shaft pliers

Eagle Racing have announced, on their site, the release of their own branded pair of shock shaft pliers. As everyone knows it is important not to damage the surface of the shock shafts, but this can be difficult to avoid when trying to screw either the pistons or the ball cup to the shaft so these pliers, with their 4 shaft grooves for different diameters, hold the shaft tightly but dont mark it. An essential tool.

KSG front end alignment tool

We spotted this product via our Japanese partners Kimihiko Yano but we’re not quite sure how new they are, but they look good so we decided we’d show them to you anyway. Made by US company KSG Motorsports, this camber tool was first seen being used by KSG team drivers at the Ovalmasters last November and is now available for everyone to buy, or at least only now in Japan. Available in anodised black or blue, this tool allows you set the front camber and toe angles on your 1/12th scale chassis precisely and easily.
