Xceed Masterfix Pipes & springs

New from Xceed, and made in Germany, their new range of Masterfix pipes are super strong, high performance pipes that work on the most popular model car engines like NR, Max, Picco, Mega, Sirio and more. Available for 1/10th and 1/8th on road and 1/8th off road, the pipes are CNC machined instead of being pressed into shape, the advantage being that they are stronger, consistent and a higher quality aluminium can be used. The parts of the pipes are then precision soldered together with top quality pressure nipple and flanges. The supplied springs and silicone seals are also of superb quality. Under the Xceed MF line Xceed also offer some special made exhaust mounting springs and .12 and .21 long exhaust springs in normal way and a new version which allows a nicer fit between engine and carburetor.

The face of the Durango DNX408

So, we have seen the parts, the rear and now Durango are showing us the front of the DNX408. By Durango standards the front suspension is pretty standard stuff, solid, light weight, with a clean, no-risk design. The front end features all the necessary adjustments, plus hard anodised suspension holders, hard anodised bulkheads, 5mm hard anodised shock towers, outdrive and CVD boots and the 15mm bore PTFE coated shocks. Team Durango style down-stops keep the front of the chassis nice and narrow for best front ground clearance. When it comes to taking the gearbox and centre drive shaft out it should only take about six screws.

Reedy Competition exhaust system

Reedy’s new 2035 and 2039 mufflers feature a 3-chamber design for a linear power band and exceptional all-around performance. A reinforced stinger and hard-anodized finish increase durability, while a single-piece pressure nipple is positioned for maximum body clearance and to lessen the chance of the pressure line being knocked off in crash. The 2035 muffler is incredibly powerful on the bottom end with good straight-line speed. On the other hand, the 2039 muffler is softer on the low end than the 2035, but is capable of more RPM and higher top speeds. A hard-anodized header designed specifically for use with these mufflers is also available.
