Revolution Design Ultra Flywheel Puller

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the Ultra Flywheel Puller. The tool is designed for most 1/8th clutches and helps to separate the flywheel from the crankshaft without any damage. By clamping the black anodised aluminium fork behind the flywheel and turning down the shaft the flywheel is pulled away from the crankshaft without harming the flywheel, the crankshaft or the tool itself. The tool is also equipped with a 10mm nut driver that is ideal to tighten the clutch nut after fitting the flywheel. Both the black anodised 7075-T6 aluminium fork and the high quality spring steel shaft sport the RDRP logos for a factory look and easy identification.

Xray XB4 graphite arm stiffeners

Made for both the XB4 4WD and 2WD buggies are these graphite arms stiffeners from Xray. Made from 1.6mm carbon fibre and coming as front and rear set, the plates directly screw to Xray’s SFA arms in order to adjust the overall flexibility of the composite material lower A-arms. Using the stiffeners can help with vehicle handling especially in medium to high bite conditions and also at high ambient temperatures as a stiffer arm makes for a smoother steering response and better car control especially in chicanes and in tight corners.

Hartson & Denney win opening A-Mains

Steven Hartson and Tanner Denney took easy wins in the opening A-Mains of the JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals in St.Louis but not in the expected order with 4WD Top Qualifier Hartson taking the 2WD win while 2WD Top Qualifier Denney won the first 4WD encounter. The first of the A-Mains to be run Denney built up an early lead with his new B5 and looked set to cruise to an easy win but starting from 4th on the grid and avoiding an early pile up Hartson reeled in his younger team-mate. With Hartson right on his motor Denney would survive his first mistake at the log section but the former series champion would capitalise on the second mistake to go on and take the win by over 4 seconds with Team Losi Racing’s Taylor Larsen completing the Top 3.
