Hudy Air Vac 1/8th off-road vacuum pump

Hudy have introduced the latest addition to their range of Air Vac vacuum pumps in the form of a dedicated 1/8th off-road variant. Powered by a 2S LiPo battery or 12V power supply the pump helps to remove unwanted air bubbled from shock absorbers or gear differentials, ensuring more evenly function. The tool consists of a CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium base and a clear upper cylinder and it can also be used to soak tyre traction compounds in to 1/12th and 1/10th scale foam tyres which will lead to better and longer effect. The pump comes including connection wires and a protective hardcase for convenient storage and transportation.

Xray X1 independent rear wing mount set

Coming from Xray and made for the X1 formula car kit is the independent rear wing mount set. The set allows to install the rear wing fully independently from the rear pod plate ensuring the wing stays in the same position as the chassis despite the rear power pod movement which helps to improve the car’s stability while increasing rear traction. The rear wing mount plate features holes for wing mounting in exactly the same positions as the standard wing mount, ensuring the aerodynamics remain the same when switching between the standard and independent mount. The set can be used either with the rear gear differential or ball differential and the wing mount has multiple positions which allow higher or lower mounting of the rear wing to adapt to traction, conditions, and racing surfaces.
