RDRP Ultra Gripper R2 shock shaft pliers

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their revised Ultra Gripper shock shaft pliers. The R2 version is designed to hold 3.0mm, 3.5mm and 4.0mm shock shafts to make shock building easy and convenient. The tool allows to securely hold the shafts without damaging the surface or even the whole shaft as it can occur when using standard pliers. Like the other Ultra series tools the Ultra Gripper is precision CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and features a high-quality anodising that improves the surface of the notches for a more secure grip. The grip notches for the shock shafts sport laser-engraved size markings and the tool is usable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles. The R2 variant sports an updated design that makes applying pressure even easier, ensuring less stress on the mechanic’s skin while also being available in range of colours including black, orange, red, blue and light blue.

Serpent 988 1/8th nitro on-road kit – Coming soon

During this week’s second round of the 2017 Euro Nitro Series Serpent are showing off their all-new 988 1/8th on-road platform. With only the transmission, shocks, fuel tanks and some minor plastic parts taken over from the previous 977, the new car is pretty much a complete redesign – although a quite traditional one. New to the 988 are the aerodynamic lower a-arms which are solid and can accept different inserts to change the flex characteristics of the arm, which is just one of a number of various flex tuning possibilities in this new car. Along with a modified main chassis to accept the new parts, the car also comes with the newly released Viper Flow front bumper.
