JLR have released this 2 in 1 engine tuning screw driver that also doubles up as an engine stopper. As a screw driver it has an adjustable length tip, which is very long and perfect for reaching the front needle on a carburettor, and sports a grey anodised, partly knurled, handle with the JLR logo on the side. On the top of the handle is a rubber stopper that is used to jamming into the stinger of your exhaust pipe, a safe burn free way to kill the motor.

ST Racing Concepts have released a number of new tools including a new wrench tool and shock shaft pliers. The 17 & 23mm wrench has been made with high quality CNC machined aluminium, is available in 3 colours, and is a must for serious nitro 1/8th scale truggy and Monster Truck racers. This is due to the lengthened neck of the 17mm wrench side to reach into the deeper offset rims while still providing enough room between the handle cross-bar, which features a 8mm wrench, and the wheel for your fingers to get a good grip. The new machined aluminium shock shaft pliers allow you to firmly hold the shock shaft in place while you thread on the shock ends, while preventing any scratching of the shock shaft.
