O.S. Max-25XZ Truggy engine

O.S. Engines in Japan have announced their new truggy motor, the Max-25XZ. With the rules set for truggy racing, O.S. set out to make an extremely balanced, powerful and fuel efficient engine. The first thing was to reduce the capacity from .28 to .25 (4.09cc) which helped to make a more fuel efficient, lightweight engine with an improved centre of gravity. This short stroke engine claims a maximum power output of 3.1bhp at 33,000rpm and is supplied with a double adjustable carburetor to be able to fine tune the entire power range.

Pro-Line Caliber SC tires & Split Six wheels

New from Pro-Line for the Slash, Slayer, Blitz and SC10 is the Caliber SC tire. The Caliber takes tire technology to the next level by optimizing traction, control, balance, and tire wear with its dual-stage design. The smaller top pin penetrates through loose dirt while delivering unbelievable side and forward bite. The base pin works as a support for the top pin while acting as a dual-stage design once the top pin is worn down. You can rely on the base pin for greater tread life wear and it works well on those tracks that are prone to blue-groove or have a super clean surface. Also new, to work with Caliber SC and other SC tires, from Pro-Line is the the Split Six one piece wheel, whose design is the staple look of short course vehicles. Until now, it’s only been available in a 3 piece bead-loc design, but now it is offered in a lightweight one-piece glueable design that’s more affordable and completely performance driven.

HPI Cyber 10B Titanium screw set

New from HPI Racing for their Cyber 10B, is this complete titanium screw set. Drop the weight on your Cyber 10B with this fantastic complete set of titanium screws while adding strength and durability. By replacing the standard steel screws with titanium, you can save about 30% of the weight of the stock screws. This gives you faster lap times, more acceleration and even more run time plus apparently less wear on the drivetrain because the motor and gears have less weight to pull around the track.
