GRP Super Soft compound

Following up on the release of the Conespike, a tire developed by GRP together with UK importers Mirage, comes this new Super Soft compound for the already popular GRP Jolly and Atomic 1:8th Off Road tread patterns. The surface of the tire has a new subtly textured finish which improves traction if the tire folds under hard acceleration or cornering, which has made a huge difference in performance of the tire. They have also been busy developing a new softer yellow insert to maximise the performance from the new softer compound tyres. The inserts improve handling on bumpy/rutted tracks as well as when landing from large jumps.

Hudy Buggy & Truggy setup board

Continuing with our Slovakian theme, Hudy have released this exceptionally flat and warp-resistant set-up board for chassis set-up of 1/8th scale off-road buggies and truggies. This practical and essential board makes the work on any buggy or truggy a pleasure as it is wide enough to ensure that the setup system pieces will fit properly on the board.

The board is made from a core of specially pressed wooden material, the manufacturing of which ensures constant thickness and warp resistance. The exterior of the flat setup board is a special plastic coating that is bonded to the core by very high pressure, ensuring an extremely flat, tough, and durable exterior. Outer edges are covered with a special plastic material to prevent corner and edge damage from regular or extreme use.
