JR Mitch wins at Nitro Force Series Rd1

The Florida Nitro Series began at famous Lake Park Raceway just outside of Tampa. TLR’s JR Mitch took the win in the Nitro Buggy main only after showing up Sunday morning fresh with zero track time. With morning practice and jumping into the lower main, track time on the current surface would work to his favour. Moving through and in to the B Main, then on to the A-main, Mitch started moving his way through the field from his bump up spot at the back of the grid to take the win despite this being a 1-day event for him.

RDRP Ultra ball diff & thrust race greases

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce their new line of dedicated greases for the use with ball differentials and thrust races. The Ultra Ball Diff Grease was previously sold under the Vampire Racing brand and now makes a revival in Revolution Design’s chem series. Although gear differentials are a more common sight in today’s vehicles ball differentials are still a welcome tuning option when running in low to medium grip conditions. The grease is designed to perform in off-road buggies, touring cars and pan/formula cars. The white-colour ball diff grease comes in cups of 5g. Also new is the black thrust race grease. Containing finely ground graphite for improved load stability the lubricant is ideally used on the thrust races of ball differentials. Like the diff grease the thrust race lube comes in a handy cup containing 5g of grease.
