HPI Racing Jumpshot alloy C-hubs & rear hubs

HPI Racing have introduced new aluminium option parts for the Jumpshot series of monster trucks. The anodised alloy parts increase the durability and help to look cool. The alloy front C-Hub sSet is the perfect addition to anyone who drives their Jumpshot hard in demanding conditions. It prevents damage to the front end that would otherwise force a repair to the stock plastic C-Hubs. The same applies to the rear hubs that add rigidity to the rear suspension. The parts come as separate sets and are usable on the MT, SC and ST variants of the truck.

Yeah Racing 30mm alloy case booster cooling fan

Yeah Racing have announced the soon release of their new 30mm aluminium case boost cooling fan. Being housed in an alloy rather than a plastic case, the fan will make for improved cooling efficiency not only because of its optimised case design but also by adding to the overall cooling surface when mounted to a speed controller heat sink. The case design also allows to use it as a motor cooling fan for extreme conditions. The fan is 8.4V high-voltage compatible, it utilises dual ball bearings and is available in black, blue or red colour.

SMJ Ultra joint lubricant & grease

Coming from SMJ are their new Ultra joint lubricant and grease, two chemicals developed to reduce drivetrain wear. First up is the Ultra joint lubricant, a lower viscosity oil for all metal-to-metal combinations such as driveshafts and outdrives. The lube greatly reduces wear to cross pins, couplers, driveshafts and wheel axles and thanks to its low viscosity it still sticks perfectly to the parts, offering a free drivetrain feeling and improved drivetrain efficiency. Also new is the Ultra joint grease, a heavy duty product for driveshafts, cup joints and thrust bearings whose high viscosity allows for high adhesion and less chance of flinging away even under high loads or high RPM. Both products were developed in cooperation with full-scale car tuning brand G-max and they are available now.
