Shepherd premium engine oils

A new range of high-quality premium oils for nitro applications is available from Shepherd. First up is an after run oil specially developed for the use with nitro engines. It keeps the internal engine parts lubricated and protected from oxidation and excessive wear when storing the engine or starting it from cold. It is recommended for the use after every racing day and before storage. The second new product is the sticky air filter oil that protects the engine from dust and dirt. It allows enough air to flow through the filter while airborne particles adhere to it ensuring an optimised combination of protection and performance. Both oils come in handy 50ml bottles.

Cyclops tyre glue & bonding agent

Cyclops have an updated line of tyre gluing accessories available. The purple medium glue is a 100cst viscosity product and after demand from customers the glue is now available in a new, improved bottle. New to the line is the blue thin glue of 25cst viscosity that offers the same elasticity and bonding capabilities as the original purple formula but is thinner allowing the chemical to penetrate gaps faster and also to dry faster. Last but not least is the Cyclops primer which is used to prime the surface of both the tyre and rim for perfect bond. It also is a surface cleaner used instead of ammonia, alcohol or break cleaner. 1/10 EP touring car drivers have also found in many case the primer/cleaner to be used as a tyre additive or as a primer agent for the additive.

MIP Wraith & SCX10 Spline CVD kits

MIP introduce new Spline CVD centre drive kits for the Axial Wraith and SCX10 off-road vehicles. The kits feature an updated design that was made necessary after Axial’s running changes to the chassis. The MIP kits will no longer feature the double set screw design to clamp onto the through hole but now incorporate a pin set screw for attachment. Along with that improvement MIP have also changed the drive hubs so that there is no longer any interference when it comes to making contact with the stock spur gear cover. The kits come as specific Wraith and SCX10 variants including hardware and a set of grease and thread lock.

RB introduce new suspension and drivetrain option parts for the RB One line of buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs made from 7075-T6 aluminium. The parts feature multiple mounting positions for the upper camber links, come grey anodised and greatly improve the durability of this highly stressed part of the buggy.

Developed to make for a precise and fading-free brake system the discs are made for the use with another new part; the Ferodo-equipped brake pad set. The special pads are vulcanised on the steel brake pad for maximum temperature resistance and best possible brake action. To make maximum use of the new brake setup RB has also announced a set of extra-strong springs that are ideal for the use with the Ferodo brake pads. Last but not least come new off-set 17mm aluminium wheel hubs. Available as +1.5mm and +2.5mm variant the parts are sold as pairs, come hard anodised and make for increased track width in order to gain more stability on the front or the rear end of the buggy.
