Xray have introduced these precision machined brass 25 gram chassis balancing weights. Designed to fit directly into the NT1 chassis’ front and rear weight mounting area, they are marked with the weight value for easy identification.
Get your Short Course truck ready for those bumpy outdoor tracks of the summer with TQ’s big bore shocks. Developed from stellar racing results at events like the 2010 ROAR Nationals and Short Course Showdown Tour, these large diameter shocks will give your truck a better ride over the bumpiest terrain. Dual springs will provide your truck with the soft suspension feel needed to corner hard and land big jumps, with a second spring designed not to sacrifice the ride height needed to keep proper suspension geometry. These shocks will come as standard equipment on future TQ SX10 SC and SX10 T Pro Roller kits as well.

The new lightweight locking wheel nuts from Answer RC are now available. Designed to offer the best of both worlds, security and performance, the security aspect is two fold. Firstly the have a knurled section machined into the back of the nut to allow it to lock onto the wheel and secondly the nuts come with O Rings that seat into the back of the nut to secure the nut against the wheel stub axle and prevent vibration loosening. The nuts come with 8 o-rings giving you a complete spare set. The nuts are machined away on the faces and drilled into to save weight and as with any closed cap wheel nut, knowing that the stub axle will not get mangled up is always a welcome benefit. Available in red and black in both 1.0mm and 1.25mm threads.

Round 2 of the 2011 1/10th IC BRCA Nationals was held in glorious weather on the weekend of the 16th/17th April at the fantastic Halifax Circuit in Yorkshire. Adam Catchpole continued his excellent start into the season after finishing 2nd at the 1st Round of the Championship in Cotswolds. With a new lap record and a new qualifying record he claimed the pole-position for the 30-min main final. At the start he defended his first position and only dropped back to second during the first round of pitstops. When he regained the lead he never looked back and crossed the finishing line in first position. Second place went to Serpent driver Neal King, with another Shepherd driver Chris Steele taking a well deserved 3rd overall. In the 220mm GT class it was Peter Hastings who duly took the honours, making it a clean sweep for the Shepherd UK/DHModelsport Team at this weekend.
