Reckward-Tuning silicone shock & diff fluids

RMV have introduced the new Reckward-Tuning high-performance silicone shock and differential fluids. Developed and tested by Matthias Reckward and Martin Overkamp, the fluids are of very high quality to ensure consistency and performance even in the most demanding racing conditions. The oils are available as 250 cps to 700 cps shock and 1,000 t0 30,000 cps differential variants in large 100ml bottles, making them interesting not only for 1/10th and 1/8th scale drivers but also large scale pilots whose car’s huge shocks and diffs require large amounts of fluid. Beside the already available range Reckward-Tuning will provide additional viscosities in the near future.

Fenix BD8 aluminium main chassis & top deck

Coming from Fenix and made for Yokomo’s popular BD8 touring car are an aluminium main chassis plate and top deck. As for the chassis, much thoughts went into in-corner scrub and drag reduction, which leads to more flowing outer lines as well as redesigned battery mounting brackets to further add clearance during hard cornering. The chassis comes with extensive machining in the battery and electric area for optimised flex characteristics, a black coated surface and machined silver edge details. As for the top deck, extra clearance is provided in the pinion area to ensure proper fitting of large pinions when running high-wind stock motors. Both the chassis and top deck will fit the 2018 and 2017 BD8 kits.
