Available now from Scorpion are special ball bearing and one-way lubricants. The oils were developed by German nitro on-road frontrunner Toni Gruber and Italy’s Pepe Group, ensuring maximum performance and protection. The ball bearing oil will deliver exceptional lubrication, protection and care even for the highly stressed bearings of 1/8th nitro on-road cars but it is also perfect for all other applications including off-road vehicles. The one-way oil is ideal for delicate roller bearings, offering perfect protection and lubrication while preventing outdrive slippage. Both oils come in 16ml bottles.
New for the Xray X1 formula pan cars is the WTC wing-to-chassis mount from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand. The carbon fibre and aluminium assembly will ensure increased rear end grip, better handling, improved stability on bumpy tracks and more predictable cornering. The mount moves the rear wing mount from the power pod to the centre chassis area, reducing unsprung weight. The design ensures only 20g of added weight and it offers three mounting positions for the side tubes.
Coming soon from SkyRC is their new Toro TS150 Pro brushless speed controller for 1/8th scale vehicles. Designed for buggies, trucks and monster trucks but also usable for 1/8th on-road kits, the 150A-rated controller offers an aluminium heatsink case, a 6V high-power BEC system with up to 8A, as well as a multitude of software features that include adjustable timing as well as throttle and brake curve adjustment to name just a few. The controller is adjustable using SkyRC’s Progbox or WiFi module and it comes including a heavy duty fan unit that is meant to be a lot more durable compared to standard fans – even when running in demanding track conditions and on track with large jumps.

Available from Toni Gruber’s Scorpion brand are competition-grade after run and air filter oils. Both were developed in cooperation with the Pepe Group with the after run oil ensuring maximised engine life as it keeps the engine internals in best possible shape when the engine is not in use for a longer time, for example over the winter season. The chemical neutralises corrosive residue, preventing harming rust build-up. As for the air filter oil, the sticky sauce prevents dust from entering the engine, ensuring prolonged engine life while ensuring best possible airflow at the same time. Both oils are available in 50ml bottles.
