AME aluminium & carbon fibre shock rebuild station

The AME shock rebuild station is a clever tool to arrange AME shock absorbers while building, maintenance and setup. The compact shock stand is made of machined, black anodised aluminium and high-quality carbon fibre and it takes up to four touring car shock absorbers – for example while filling them with shock fluid or to let any air bubbles disappear when not using a vacuum pump. The lower alloy parts tray can be used to store small parts during building but it can also be used to drain shock oil into it during shock rebuilding. The tool is easy to disassemble using a single screw and the compact dimensions make storing the rebuild station a no-brainer. While being designed for AME’s own shocks the tool also works with many other 1/10th scale dampers.

Radtec kingpin & steering block tool

Coming from Radtec is a new kingpin and steering block tool that allows to perfectly align the kingpin threads in composite steering blocks. The tool utilises a specially designed tip with an M3 thread on the upper end while the plain lower part slides into the steering block’s lower kingpin hole, ensuring the thread is cut at a perfect angle. By rotating the steering block the opposite thread can be cut. On top of having the two holes aligned, which will eliminate unwanted misalignment and friction, the tapping will also ensure easier assembly of the steering knuckle and C-hub area. The tool uses a machined aluminium handle and a titanium-nitride coated tool tip and it will hit stores very soon.
