Hudy have announced the latest addition to their lineup of Professional tools, with the addition of a complete range of Torx drivers. Torx head screws are becoming increasingly popular, as their design inherently resists cam-out (the tendency for a bit to twist out of the fastener slot when tightened) better than Phillips head screws, and resists rounding out the screw slot much better than hex slot screws. The range of tools includes 6 different tip sizes (T6, T8, T10, T15, T20 & T25) and all are sold with the hollowed, lightweight duraluminum handles which feature a specially coated anti-slip grip. Replacement tips are also available.

Hudy have announced the release of these first purpose designed and manufactured droop gauge support blocks for 1/8 Off-road. As with all droop support blocks their use is dead simple, simply remove the tires from your buggy and using a flat surface put the car chassis on the support blocks, placing the front support block below the servo saver and the rear support block below the rear suspension mounting. Then using a chassis droop gauge with elevated scales, measure the droop under the wheel axle hex, using the downstop screws to alter the suspension droop on each side of the car.
