New from Creation Model, comes their Infinity small parts cases and case sets. Coming in three different sets, there is the large hard outer case that comes with the 8 of the smaller boxes, each with 8 compartments, and a set of label stickers for easy identification of stored parts. The second version is similar but only comes with 4 of the small-parts boxes, leaving room in the large box for outer larger parts or tools. Finally you can get a set of 8 small-parts boxes, without the larger outer case but with the labels, perfect for storing small parts such as screws, washers and bearings.
One of the most used tools on the 1/10th off-road racing scene, JConcepts presents their new tire break-in device. It’s a pretty simple combination of a standard hex drive shaft for a typical drill but extended and given some lock driven flats, the simple item turns into a very useful tool around the track. An aluminium 12mm and 17mm hex adaptor slides over the shaft to give racers the option of which type of vehicle (1/10th or 1/8th) they are preparing tires for. The flywheel nut features a large diameter for grip and adjustment and the ability to flip directions for deeper dish shaped wheels. It also has stealth black anodising, laser etched JConcepts.net logo, grippy knurling and a lightened design for quick function and easy storage.
