RDRP Ultra Gripper R2 shock shaft pliers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their revised Ultra Gripper shock shaft pliers. The R2 version is designed to hold 3.0mm, 3.5mm and 4.0mm shock shafts to make shock building easy and convenient. The tool allows to securely hold the shafts without damaging the surface or even the whole shaft as it can occur when using standard pliers. Like the other Ultra series tools the Ultra Gripper is precision CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and features a high-quality anodising that improves the surface of the notches for a more secure grip. The grip notches for the shock shafts sport laser-engraved size markings and the tool is usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles. The R2 variant sports an updated design that makes applying pressure even easier, ensuring less stress on the mechanic’s skin while also being available in range of colours including black, orange, red, blue and light blue.

VRP HB D817/E817 HRC suspension blocks

VRP has released high roll centre HRC suspension blocks for the HB Racing D817 and E817 buggies. The blocks have the hinge pin locations moved up 1mm from the stock blocks and will complement HB Racing’s +1.4mm B block. This offers more overall roll, which on certain track conditions will translate to more overall grip. The D block features VRP’s “quick release” design, meaning the D block can be removed without taking out the bottom two chassis screws and after only removing the two screws holding the actual D block. The A block also has an additional 1mm of material on the bottom that increases its overall lifespan. The A, C and D block are machined from 7075 aluminium, they come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification.
