T-Works ball bearing tool

The latest addition to T-Works’ tool line is a ball bearing checker and removal tool. Usable with the most popular metric and imperial size ball races, the tool allows to easily check or remove bearings by sliding it into the ball bearing and spinning it to check the condition of the ball race, while the tool also allows to work the bearing out of its seat, such as uprights, steering blocks or diff cases. Machined from high-quality aluminium and coming with a black surface coating for a long life, the tool also features white laser-engraved markings for easy ball race size checking.

ID.RC 3.5cc engine piston sleeve remover

Coming from ID.RC is a new piston sleeve remover tool for 3.5cc nitro engines. The tool is of a simple yet effective design as the inner screw-type part interlocks with the sleeve’s timing windows while the outer body braces itself against the upper portion of the crankcase. Sturdy knurled handles on both the screw insert and outer body allow to extract the sleeve with minimal force and without harming the sleeve or crankcase.

SXT tire insert roller

SXT have introduced their new tire insert roller for 1/10th off-road tires. The tool was developed to break in the tire’s foam insert without having to actually use and wear the tire. To use the tool the wheel will be spun using a drill and the tyre is being pressed down on the rollers. The result is a proper seated insert that also already saw some action which can improve overall grip.
