Das Speed Transmitter Steering Wheel

New start-up Das Speed has released a new steering wheel for wheel transmitters which they say is ‘designed to give RC racers the ultimate edge in precision and control.’ Unlike traditional steering wheels that rely on foam or rubber, the Das Speed wheel introduces a unique grip surface with micro-spikes that act like spider hairs, locking onto the driver’s fingers for an exceptionally secure hold. This creates a direct connection between hand and transmitter, putting the driver in true symbiosis with the car. With this innovative grip, there is no need to excessively squeeze the wheel, which has allowed Das Speed to reduce its overall diameter for a more natural and efficient fit in the hand. The result is less strain, more comfort, and unmatched steering precision. The steering wheel is compatible with most popular transmitter brands, making it a straightforward upgrade for racers looking to improve their feel and control on track.

Avid 1:10 Truss 2.2 Buggy Wheels

Upgrade parts producer Avid Racing Concepts has released its Truss wheel for 1:10 Offroad use. The most striking feature of the design is the concave face, which enhances reflections from the polished finish while keeping the face vertical to protect the wheel nut and axles when the straightaway pipe becomes a berm. Inside, six ribs reduce rotating mass, and their symmetric triangle truss sits where the hex transfers the most torque, cutting down on wheel fatigue. The inner glue bead ribs are shortened to let the foam absorb impact on landings instead of the tire hitting the rib. Finally, the wheel nut area has fewer cutouts, leaving more material to handle aggressive serrated nuts, a design the US brand pioneered over a decade ago.
