Prolix RC’s sidewall doctor is a high torque, full metal gear system for gluing the sidewalls of on-road RC tyres. The device can spin very slowly and the gear reduction has enough torque to keep spinning even when the CA tip strikes the tyre. Available are four different size circle adaptors to help mark out and precisely glue the tyres to the preferred glue height and they are available in three separate packages. The high grip option contains 59 and 60mm disks, standard includes 59.5 and 58.5mm disks, and complete option has all four. Each also comes with a paint marker and wheel adapters for Formula and 1/12th scale cars are available separately.
Coming from JConcepts is their new tyre balancer suitable for 1/8th and 1/10th scale tyre and wheel combinations. The collapsible design rests in a lay-down configuration but pivots to a 90 degree stance and locks when in usable condition. The centre point of any balancer are the bearings, the free spinning action rests inside the hub design. The interchangeable thumb nuts for 1/10th and 1/8th wheel versatility are located on the main axle which can be moved from its home base position to its critical balancing position with ease. The upright is built in aluminium material, anodised blue, etched with instructions and chamfered for that extra lustrous look. The base of the item is built to protect, position and maintain a small footprint at all times. The base has four stand-off legs to hold a steady structure while a thumb screw secures the upright in either the up or down position. The all-aluminium and steel design comes set in a storage box for protection and travel convenience.
