Rêve D high-grade carbon fibre effect wrap

Coming from Rêve D is their new high-grade carbon fibre effect wrap. The super real carbon fibre resembling wrap not only looks like real carbon fibre but it also offers a certain texture to further add to the appearance. Printed on a very flexible material the wrap is easily applied even on curved surfaces with additional flexibility available using a hairdryer to pre-warm the sticker. The wrap is ideally used on wings, body panels and mirrors of drift cars but also comes in handy to wrap transponders, receiver and servo cases to make for that ultra-stealthy appearance. The 230x300mm sheet will hit stores very soon.

VRP PR Racing XV3 shock pistons

Vision Racing Products are busy adding more XV3 shock pistons to their ever growing range with the latest offerings being made especially for the PR Racing line of vehicles. Available as Black Flat and EU version white variants, the pistons come complete with the transition valve pre-installed. The rebound booster hole has been precision drilled to the exact size VRP’s testing found to be the best all around setting. This yields excellent results that are proven on a variety of track surfaces; from rough, blown out tracks, to smooth, indoor clay. The difference between the Black Flat and the EU White pistons is the return rate. The return hole in the EU is smaller then the Black and gives less rebound. This matches up better for higher grip surfaces like carpet and turf. The pistons are available as 2-hole 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 standard and “EU Version” variants from now on.
