Seen at February’s Toy fair, Hudy have now released this range of stylish car stands for both 1/10 electric and nitro touring cars as well as a version for 1/8th scale off road buggies and truggies. The surface on both stands is black powder coated for maximum long life and to withstand abusive working conditions and has a very small footprint making it very handy to pack for travel. Strategically-placed holes provide a great place for temporarily storing standard or big-bore shocks during rebuilds, and laser-engraved markings (FL, FR, RL, RR) ensure you keep track of the proper shocks. Four rubber feet mean that the stand will stay firmly in place and not move while working on the car and 2 super-soft foam strips bonded to the top surface make sure that the car will sit softly and will not move while you’re working on it. Laser-engraved Hudy logos adorn the stylish black powder coated surface.

Also new is the Xtreme Activator, a very effective activator that shortens the curing time of super glues, leaving you more to prepare other parts of your car.

HongNor have announced that production is now complete and that they will begin selling their new 1/8th scale truggy, the X2 CRT. The new car claims to have better balance due to the engine being moved forward on the longer wheel base and narrower chassis, which removes some unwanted body roll. Some of the materials have also been modified for durability and the front lower arms have been strengthened. The center diff has been replaced with a lower profile mount with a smaller spur gear, while the steel offset brake cams and center diff mounts, that were initially supplied as an optional extra, are now included in a durable nylon. Further changes to the transmission include the front and rear crown wheel and pinion that have been replaced by a smaller 45 tooth spiral cut crown wheel and a 10 tooth spiral cut pinion and this allows the diff to spool up faster and give smoother operation and acceleration. The outdrive cups have also been lightened to reduce the rotating mass.
