Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:29 PM PDT

With this Elliott Boots Edition shock conversion kit the driving behaviour of your SWorkz can be adapted to many different track conditions, the British driver playing a key role in its development. The carbon shock towers were manufactured by RC Carbon Cavalieri and are supplied with longer versions of the kit shock bodies. The front upper shock mounting positions on the new tower are 6mm higher, while on the rear it is 7.5mm with the front and rear shock bodies 2.3mm and 2.5mm longer respectively. On the conversion, Elliott said “The longer shocks and higher towers makes the car feel more consistent and gives the car an easier to drive feeling on the track. After many months testing in different track conditions the final product is something I am very proud of and I know that many of you will greatly enjoy the performance these parts offer”.

Reds Racing X-One high torque exhaust system

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:00 AM PDT

Reds Racing have released a new ‘High Torque’ version of their X-One pipe-header system. The X-One 2143 high torque one-piece offroad tuned exhaust for S Series engines combines Reds 2143 exhaust and the Reds L header to create this one-piece ‘high torque’ exhaust. The X-One system is an innovative all-in-one pipe-header system where the exhaust has been welded to the header to improve performance and fuel consumption. There is no need for springs or gaskets, and the one-piece design creates increased reliability and improved tuning stability. The new exhaust has been designed to further increase torque for those very demanding tracks where sharp corners, high grip and hard to clear jumps can be a problem. Furthermore, the new exhaust is often used in combination with long pinion / spur gear ratios (eg. 14/48) to improve engine drivability in low grip conditions or when it is necessary to improve fuel consumption.
