The tyre comes in sets of four including premium inserts.

Protoform Vulcan wide Pro10 body shell

Coming soon from Protoform is their all-new Vulcan body shell for wide Pro10 pan cars. Taking the successful Swift-235 body as a base, the Vulcan sports new features and extra clearance to allow the use with “wide” 235mm chassis. The body takes some aero inspiration from its larger cousin, the world-championship winning R19. A large centre fin was added for increased high-speed stability on larger outdoor tracks, while the sculpted side panels increase side bite. To tune aero balance, an add-on adjustable gurney flap is included, and recessed areas at the top of the side dams will allow for flush-fitting optional vertical side dam extensions. Measuring 227mm across the front and 239mm across the rear, the Vulcan’s wide track width and long rear side panels are sure to fit nearly any Pro10 chassis around the world, while two heights of trim lines are inscribed for different sizes of tyres.

Destiny introduce new RX-10SR optionals

Made for the RX-10SR and RX-10S electric touring cars are several new optionals from Destiny. First up is the V2 aluminium battery bracket set for the SR and S variants. The set attaches directly to the chassis, doing away with the need to use fibre-reinforced tape and thus ensuring tweak-free battery mounting as the multi-piece battery locators and retainers only slightly touch the battery case. The set is made up using grey anodised aluminium and machined carbon fibre parts.

ArndtCraft 30mm motor cooling fan brace

Coming from ArndtCraft is a 30mm motor cooling fan brace that was designed to prevent fan breakage in extreme off-road conditions. The brace is ideal for all WTF-style fans and it attaches from the bottom, air flow outlet side of the unit. The 1mm carbon fibre plate is very light of weight and it will improve the fan’s life when running on carpet or astro turf tracks with wood or concrete base. It supports the fan’s centre section, as well as fan housing structure, to prevent fan centre section, and housing, from deflecting under hard impact, which can result in fan breakage.
