Corner Speed RC O-ring grease

Corner Speed RC has introduced a new non-harmful clay-based grease for use on shock and diff O-rings and gaskets. It is a premium lubricating grease which has been carefully formulated to create dynamic lubrication between O-rings and metal parts that allows smoother operation as well as minimising leakage. Unlike other silicone-based grease which slightly swells the O-rings and rubber parts, this lube is a clay-based product which is known for being more gentle on the rubber parts for more consistent operation.

Arrowmax Diff Checker

Arrowmax have added a differential hardness checker to their electronics line up. The small and compact device allows to measure the hardness of both gear and ball differentials which makes diff setup easier and more precise. Other than checking the differential setting the tool can also be used to pre-warm diffs before a run, which makes for better consistency. The device features a 5-digit decimal display, it is housed in a sturdy case and utilises a built-in Micro USB port for charging. The diff checker comes with both a standard outdrive insert and a 7mm nut driver adapters for touring car usage. Optionally available is a set of 1/8th buggy and GT adapters.
