Ruddog cleaning brush

When it comes to cleaning your favourite RC car from dust or tire debris, everyone needs a cleaning brush in their toolbox. While you could just get one from your local hardware store, Ruddog Product’s new round cleaning brush ticks all the boxes of RC racers and its red. At a length of 200mm, it fits into virtually every pit bag. Its 40mm bristles are stiff enough for removing persistent dirt from the creases and corners of your race car or rock crawler. The shiny, grease-resistant handle has an ergonomic shape and rounded out with the Ruddog logo for good looks.

RC Maker GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set

RC Maker have presented their new GeoCarbon HD weighted tweak wheel set for touring cars. The concept is simple yet very effective. The wheels are weighted offside and on a ball bearing, so as soon as you pick the car up trying to see what wheel comes off first, the wheel that is high will spin, and indicate which way to turn the collars on the opposite end of the car. No more getting down on your knees eye-balling it, or feeling for the lift off point, simply watch which one spins first, and that’s the high corner. The wheels feature ABEC 7 Quality bearings and integrated 7075 Alu knurled thumb nut. The wheels and nut stay as one piece to ensure you never lose anything. The opposite end features the same hardware, except with a stable “A” design to ensure the car stays still and rigid whilst doing your tweak. Just swap them front to rear when doing the opposite end.
