Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra wrenches

Revolution Design Racing Products introduced their long anticipated Ultra wrenches. The machined 7075 T6 handle allows a perfect fit to the drivers hands, without getting blistered fingers after hours of wrenching. The handle is black hard-anodised and sports the typical laser edged RDRP logo. The end cap in blue (for metric size) and red (for imperial size) indicates with a large letter the size of the wrench. The most important part of a good wrench is the wrench tip and the high grade quality spring steel tip allows for a long life span and a precise fit. A laser edged indication on the tip allows you a quick identification of the size.

Team Grid BalancePro Zero

Team Grid have released what they claim is the most sensitive wheel balancer for touring cars. Touring car wheels are much lighter than off-road wheels and can benefit from even more precise balancing and the BalancePro Zero is the tool that can deliver the extra racing edge needed for modern touring cars. It uses a true parallel twin blade knife-edge balancing system to provide Zero friction balancing on its continuous contact area, that no other ball bearing based system can offer. Even balanced wheels from a bearing based balancer may still appear unbalanced on the BalancePro Zero. Ultra sensitive it can level perfectly on any surface on its three adjustable legs with the aid of a bubble level. Its balance rod is precision ground with an ultra light weight Delrin hub adapter and a finger guard to ensure total safety.

DE Racing 1/8th & 1/10th setup wheels

DE Racing introduce their new setup system for many 1/8th and 1/10th scale off-road vehicles. Based around a set of flat surface wheels with a rubber layer the system ensures high accuracy when measuring ride height, camber and toe settings. The wheels are available in two diameters for 1/10th and 1/8th buggies with the latter are also perfect for 1/10th short course trucks. A wide range of adapter hubs ensures that the wheels are usable on virtually every off-road vehicle. The rubber layer on the wheels not only makes for a secure stand on the setup board but also helps to recreate the geometry of the car against the grip of the rubber tyre to lock the wheels into a proper position for checking camber and toe.
