Monaco RC Diff Check Plus

Monaco RC have introduced their all-new Diff Check Plus, an updated design of the company’s original Diff Check differential hardness checker. The Plus variant is of a more versatile design thanks to its internal 9V batteries that allows to use the tool without the need of an additional power source, making for much easier diff action checks even in the starting grid or directly after a run. In addition to the internal battery, the Diff Check Plus is also usable with an external power source. The device was developed in Italy and it is housed in a sturdy case, machined from a single piece of aluminium and coming anodised for looks and wear. High-quality graphics make the Diff Check Plus stand out while a high-quality protective case ensures the tool stays nice and shiny. The diff checker comes with an adapter that allows you to measure stand-alone diff units while an array of optional adapters, from 1/12th up to 1/8th scale also makes diff checking of installed units possible.

RC Maker Geo carbon wheel arch and skirt tool

New to RC Maker’s new Geo Carbon range of products, is this unique wheel arch tool, which not only gives a template for the body’s wheel arches, but also sets the skirt height for the body based off axle height. After locating the axle with the body mounted, modellers can simply trace around the entire carbon fibre template, which provides both a wheel arch line and a skirt cutting line. The template also features an elongated slot unlike its predecessor, allowing to accurately offset the wheel arch to prevent tucking in the rear of the wheel.
