Brain Stuff tire additive applicator

Capricorn have introduced their new Brain Stuff brand, dedicated to quality materials, technical solutions and R&D. Their first product is this tire additive applicator which helps apply the additive to the tires. An electric motor runs at a constant speed rotating the tires placed on the first axis and contact the other two tires which will run in the opposite direction. An adjustment on the two cams allow you to set the pressure between the tires and choose the type of additive penetration. Works with 1/8th and 1/10th tires.

Team Associated RC10TC6.1 Factory Team kit

Used by Juho Levanen to claim the runner up spot at last weekend’s ATS race in Japan, the RC10TC6.1 Factory Team kit is the next evolutionary step in touring car design from Team Associated. Building on the successfully proven TC6, the designers behind the doors of Area 51 added even more features, making the TC6.1 easier to tune and drive. The narrow chassis has been designed around current brushless motor systems and LiPo batteries, optimizing weight distribution for superior handling. To further enhance handling performance, there is updated suspension arms for increased stiffness and strength. These new suspension arms feature finer shock adjustments to help get the TC6.1 totally dialed in.

The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.
