MXLR Anti-wear, O-ring greases & Elastic tire glue

MXLR are happy to extend their production line with three new products to keep your RC model in the best shape and on the highest performance level. The new anti-wear grease is made in Germany with a special manufacturer for grease and oil. The special mixture reduces the wear of driveshafts and gears, and indeed all metal-to-metal connections. It is high pressure resistant and super sticky enabling it to stay in the right place. Next up is their new O-Ring grease, which is also produced in Germany and consists of well chosen high quality ingredients in a special mixture to protect O-Rings / seals against swelling or shrinking. Additionally, the grease further reduces the friction and adds extra smoothness for the perfect operation of dampers and gear diffs. Lastly is their new Elastic tire glue that stays elastic and offers phenomenal gluing power. The best choice for gluing your RC tires, as it doesn’t stiffen up the rubber-plastic combo as much as other glues. Your tire game will be a lot more consistent and smoother, resulting in better performance on the track. Also perfect for sidewall gluing of rubber and foam tires. The tire itself keeps the ability to ‘work’ as the sidewalls can still float/move, whilst the glue stays flexible and doesn’t get brittle.

The suspension is also fully tuned with SLF big bore shocks, Team’s tapered shock pistons, titanium coated shock shafts and high grade O-rings, combined with the latest drifting springs for a competitive suspension. Other features include brass rear suspension mounts to improve rear traction, a LW integrated bulkhead to reduce front weight and a lightweight slide rack for weight balance.
