CRC Pink Pro Cuts, Final Cut & Battle Axe upgrades

More new items from CRC who have introduced their soft long wear pink front Pro Cut 1/12th tires. Pink is 30 shore R4 from Japan. The R4 line of rubber is very durable and long wear with the soft 30 shore providing extremely high grip. This tire is best for low grip carpet and asphalt surfaces. To reduce these and any other tires to the correct diameter CRC have also released the Final Cut tire truer cutting bit. A super hard tungsten carbide cutting bit with sharp, super hard teeth it remains sharp cut after cut. The finish on the foam after truing is absolutely smooth and ready to race. Because it cuts so cleanly and aggressively, the Final Cut truing bit reduces the load on the truer motor by removing material rather than pushing it around. Finally for their Battle Axe oval car, is a left offset motor pod conversion that pushes the motors to the left for better cornering speeds. The parts are available in a couple different conversion “kits” and separately as well. The rear top plate has been ‘tweaked’ to allow easier use of CRC’s new Encore Shocks. Also available is the wide-mount cross plate that allows you to use much shorter body mounts in a more stable wider position.

CRC Maxxcell 5200mAh 1S LiPo pack

CRC have entered the battery market with their new Maxxcell line of LiPo racing batteries. Featuring a low profile terminal design, convenient 4mm bullet tubes (photo shows prototype), low internal resistance (IR), high average discharge voltage and long run time, the Maxxcell LiPo is a proven winner. The 50C peak discharge rates deliver the punch, while a true 5200mAh delivers the run time. The 4mm tubes and bullet connectors closely replicate the solder tabs most every racer has used for years. Wired batteries with connectors are inconvenient and difficult to use as each manufacturer uses different placement, wire lengths and connectors, plus space is tight in most 1:12th road racers, all that wire and connector bulk takes up valuable room. With the bullet connectors, the wiring is much cleaner, efficient and lightweight. The pack is ROAR legal and is built to fall within the rules of IFMAR, EFRA, BRCA and ROAR.
