Avid B7 Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles

New from Avid Racing Concepts is the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckles for the new Team Associated B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. The US brand’s first dip into the turnbuckle market, the Ringer Titanium Turnbuckle is currently available for the B7 with all other modern 1:10 scale vehicles arriving in March. Creating a unique design instead of merely replicating the JC Fin style, which dominates 95% of the industry, proved to be an arduous task. It took one year and four design iterations before they arrived at the distinctive Ringer style. These feature a shiny black finish with silver highlights making them pop on your vehicle like no others on the market due to their trademark round Ringer design which reflects more light than your traditional flat surface cuts. They have also incorporated their logo machined into the centre on all four sides so it won’t wear off over time and makes it easy to determine which direction tightens or loosens, the A-Arrow turning forward tightens the turnbuckle.

ProTek RC has announced the pre-sale of its new Samurai RM.1 Maifield Edition 3-Port .21 Competition Nitro Engine. Designed in collaboration with legendary professional RC racer Ryan Maifield, the new Samurai RM.1 enhances all the winning features found in the original Samurai RM engine and improves the power plant package even more through higher top end speed, increased fuel mileage, an improved and strengthened engine block, smooth yet powerful bottom end, and a slightly lower CG cooling head with new graphics. “The ProTek RC Samurai RM.1 engine is smooth but powerful, gets awesome fuel mileage, and is easy to tune,” states Maifield. “I’ve been running a pre-production RM.1 for a few months at a variety of events in different track conditions, and it has performed flawlessly everywhere I have been.” Through extensive development and testing by Maifield and the ProTek RC R&D team, the new Samurai RM.1 increased fuel mileage by nearly 60 seconds while achieving higher top end speeds and maintaining a smooth bottom end. It also features a steel backplate insert to reduce friction and wear while increasing RPMs and providing a stable idle. A strengthened, black-coated crankcase is also included to maximise durability and reliability. It also utilises a 3-port ABC piston and cylinder that are designed to offer more torque over the power range, while the blue anodised aluminium LCG cooling head with etched ProTek RC, Samurai, and RM logos on the top keep the weight as low as possible to achieve supreme stability and handling performance.
