Ultimate Racing Tire Balancer

Ultimate Racing have released details about their new tire balancer, which works with the wheels of buggies, rally game cars and truggies. After many tests and exchange of opinions with their team drivers, UR came to the conclusion that unbalanced wheels produce unnecessary vibrations to the shock absorber, affecting both traction and stability of the cars while jumping. To take care of this problem they have developed this system to balance wheel weight which works by helping to find the heaviest part of the wheel, and in turn allowing you to balance it through the use of the UR balancing paste which can be applied to the opposite side of the rim.

Protoform 8ight Hard Drive shell

Protoform, who has spent the last 10 years focusing on race bodies for sedan, on-road and oval classes, have added a new body shell for the Losi 8ight to their ever-expanding off-road bodyline known as the HardDrive. Features consistent with all HardDrives include ventilation louvers found throughout each body, which are emulated after full-scale off-road vehicles and each can be cut out to allow air to flow more effortlessly through the body. This creates less airtime when flying over jumps and less airtime equals more time on the ground, and more time on the ground equals reduced lap times and greater consistency lap after lap.

Yet more releases from Pro Line, the LPR Holeshot is the latest generation in tire design for 1:8 trucks.

Pro Line stretched the boundaries by offering less sidewall flex, greater response, more forward bite and all at a total weight savings. At just 122 grams per tire, it is the lightest ROAR spec legal tire on the market.
