Hudy introduce their new Joint Grease

Coming from Hudy is their new joint grease. The lubricant is specially formulated to allow for a reliable lubrication of all driveshaft joints used in on-road and off-road kits. The high viscosity prevents the grease from being flung away at high RPM and thus it is ideal for the cross pin assembly of CV and universal driveshafts as well as the differential outdrive and drive pin section of the drivetrain. The lube comes in a handy container and it is thus easy to use and apply.

JConcepts Space Bars 1/10th buggy tires

JConcepts Space Bars 1/10th buggy tyres

JConcepts have introduced the new Space Bars 1/10th buggy tire. The 2.2″ offering is designed for the popular indoor track conditions where the surface is mostly built of clay soil and it was designed to excel when using mid-motor vehicles, on tracks with large jump conditions. The tread, originally based on the legendary Dirt Webs tire design, connects uniformly positioned Space Bars to create a stable tire. The design relies heavily on a larger format of the original Web pattern for massive forward acceleration. Inside the supported bar portion rests long horizontal and short vertical alternating bars which help balance side-bite and backs up the Space Bar feature to help minimize wear, helping to break-in quickly for competition but not wear out before that all important peak performance. The outer edges feature a tiny single rib on each side which proves extra side-bite during heavy cornering and side-loading characteristics. The Space Bar tread sits on a rounder profile carcass with a shorter side-wall which transitions quickly and lands and jumps with increased traction. The plump look of the wide-body tire grips hard and also gives a sense of comfort for the aggressive driver. The inner ribbing has been updated to keep the tire expansion to a minimum while still providing a healthy dose of flexibility to the tire allowing a greater balance of monster forward traction and comfortable side-bite. The tire is available in gold compound for the front and rear and they include Dirt Tech closed cell inserts.

MIP introduced updated Wraith CVD centre drive kits

MIP have introduced their updated CVD centre drive kits for the Axial Wraith off-roader. Running changes over at Axial made it necessary for MIP to update their design and thus MIP’s new Wraith axles will no longer feature a double set screw design to clamp onto the through hole but now incorporate a pin set screw for attachment. Along with that improvement MIP have also changed the drive hubs so that there is no longer any interference when it comes to making contact with the stock spur gear cover. Last but not least this kit covers all Wraith models.
