Arrowmax have introduced their new camber gauge for 1/10th scale applications. Machined from high-quality aluminium and sporting the company’s signature black and golden honeycomb design the tool helps to easily and precisely measure and adjust the wheel camber of 1/10th electric on-road and off-road cars. Laser-engraved markings add looks and help to conveniently read the chosen setting.
Pro-Line have announced the release of three new carpet and astro turf tyres for 1/10th scale buggies. First up is the Wedge LP 4WD front tyre that uses the popular Wedge tread that provides lots of steering without being too grabby while the lower profile tyre shape provides better corner speed and faster lap times. The tyre is also more user-friendly because it doesn’t require any hand trimming of pins for optimum performance. The overall size of the low-profile 4WD front Wedge is a better match to Pro-Line’s new low-profile Prism 2.0 and Pyramid rear tyres so drivers don’t have to worry about unequal tyre runout front to rear.
