Xceed have released a new version of their popular fuel gun. It now sports a shorter nozzle and shorter front body, which makes using it easier, faster and more precise. The nozzle is optimized for the most common sizes of fuel-tank openings and the shape is perfect for 1/10 and 1/8 scale use, both on and offroad.
Team Durango offer their popular pit mat in two new colours. The mat with dimensions of 620 x 420mm is suitable for both 1/8 and 1/10 scale cars and now available also in red and tungsten colours. Featuring recessed sections to stop items such as tools and parts rolling off your work area it is made from a tough rubber material that gives a hard wearing and easy to clean work surface. The pit mat also features a large magnet in the recessed section at the front of the pit mat that will securely hold on to screws, nuts and other items that you don’t want to roll off your table when working on your car.
