Takashima D-13 has released 120 Degree 12.9 Grade Carbon Steel M3 TORX screws designed to address screw loosening caused by the high flex characteristics of a 1.2mm spring steel chassis. The M3 Torx screws deliver a more secure and durable fastening solution with the multi-contact interface ensuring superior engagement under continuous chassis flex and vibration, effectively reducing preload loss. Compared to traditional hex hardware, the Torx design allows for higher applied torque, enabling stronger tightening force while significantly minimising the risk of stripping. With more even load distribution, it also enhances durability of both screws and tools, maintaining consistent performance even under frequent assembly and disassembly.

MXLR, the brand of reigning 1:12 Spec World Champion Max Machler, has introduced a new range of damping grease called Slow-Mo. The grease’s super smooth and ultra stable viscosity is formulated to give no fade or separation when used on KingPin front ends of 1:12 PanCars, Pro10 or F1. Offered in 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K and 30K colour code options, Slow-Mo grease went through a lot of testing and development to reach a formula with the best consistency, correct stickiness and range between the different available hardness levels. MXLR focused a lot to find the best micro-adhesion that the grease stays in place to provide consistent damping over the full travel range. Thicker grease is used to slow down steering response and overall easier handling while thinner grease gives a more aggressive handling with more response. Slow-Mo Damping Grease comes in a clear 15 gram container which keeps the grease clean and in perfect condition during storage in your RC bags.
