From JConcepts their new curved pliers are very handy to the organised minded racer looking to have a lot of functions in a single tool. The 5-piece design consists of the dual pinching jaws, aluminium handles and steel centre pivot screw. The curved plier ends are machined in steel, chamfered to reduce weight, and have inner grips to get ahold of just about any small part in RC. In the grip area resides an opening where round objects can be gripped and pinched where further work can be done. Near the pivot, an inner cutter is built-in so side cutting can be performed to detach small plastic from parts trees or simply cutting soft metals, solder, or other low resistance materials. Past the pivot, the JConcepts pliers have the handy 4.0 and 3.0 diameters which are for pinching shock shafts during builds or re-builds without unnecessarily marking important surfaces.

This is the fully CNC machined head clearance tool from the Merlin McFly factory. Made from high quality Swiss 7075 alloy, the part can be attached to any digital or analog dial indicator that features a Ø8mm shaft. The assembly is screwed into the combustion chamber and set to zero on a flat surface. Then the engine can be assembled back together with all necessary head shims. After this the tool is mounted a second time to check the head clearance by turning the engine to the top dead centre. The value that can be read on the digital/analog scale is your total head clearance.
