HB TCX - New parts

I added a few more of the latest options available for the TCX.

First are the new longer POM solid axle cup joints. Due to longer length they allow the use of the 44 mm drive shafts, thus providing a wider range of choices.

For practice I have combined the DCJ (Double Cardan Joint) drive shaft with the long steel solid axle cup joint. I have already tried the POM cups I mention above and have not seen any wear at all after a few runs, so I'll save them for the next race meeting. In theory they should give just a little smoother action and maybe more turn-in compared to the steel axle cups.

Next new part is the new front steering block (upright or spindle) which now features three holes for the steering link. I understand that this should provide a bit more consistant feel. I did not get the chance to test it back to back with the old style, two hole steering block, so I cannot comment.

RB C10 Tuned NDS Tech for sale

RB C10 tuned by NDS TECH is up for sale.
Motor as you may see in the pictures is in excellent condition. It was raced only once, that is no more than 20 tanks (including break-in procedure) i.e. 2.5 litres.
Performance was excellent and earned me second place at the 2010 Nationals.
Only reason I am selling is that I am no longer running in this class due to limited available time.

Engine has been serviced and has a new middle bearing as a precaution.

I managed to find this new neat banana connectors which should decrease any power loss to a minimum. They are from MULTIVERSE JP, called Qteq Power Banana, and claim to be coated with 24k gold plating of connector grade.
