Race report by Helge Johannessen

The first round of the Norwegian National Championship was held in Farsun on April 4th. New this year is that 5 races will count in the National Championship instead of only 1 race.

This would be the first race on asphalt with the T2’008 and after the great functionality on carpet I was exited about how this car would work on asphalt. Since the nitro class was held on Saturday, the grip was much better than last year, although tire wear was a problem. The biggest challenge on this track was to get enough steering into the corners, but my car felt great from the first test, so only small adjustments were made.

The most popular RPM wheel – the Revolver – has made the transition into the Monster Truck market! These wheels are the most realistic off-road truck wheels we have created. RPM Revolver Monster Truck Wheels have been designed with either a 14mm or a 17mm hex drive option to suite your driving style and drive preferences. The 17mm hex drive is fast becoming the most popular drive option, especially with Truggy drivers due to its naturally stronger ability to resist spinning of the hex.

Both the 14mm and the 17mm hex drive versions are backed by our renowned breakage warranty and all RPM wheelsBlack Revolver Wheels - Standard Offset - 17mm are tough enough for serious backyard bashing, yet light enough for competition level driving! Both drive options come in either our standard offset which has become the normal offset used for most monster trucks, or our wider “StableMaxx” version which adds 1.2” of track width to the truck for confidence-inspiring, corner-ripping stability. RPM Revolver Monster Truck Wheels are available in either competition black or our brilliant chrome finishes. Similar to every chrome RPM wheel we make, these Revolver wheels are prestripped of the chrome finish in the tire bonding areas of the wheel which gives a superior tire-to-wheel bond without the hassle of having to strip the finish yourself.

100% Pure Silicone
K Factory shock oils are made from 100% pure silicone oil with no additives or fillers to degrade performance. Unlike carbon based oils, silicone oil is non-flammable, temperature-stable and won’t attack your shock’s rubber o-rings or plastic parts.

Protecting the inner components and seals means your shocks won’t leak and thus render them ineffective. The K Factory shock oil stays in while keeping the enemy, air and dirt out.

Superior Quality
Viscosity (thickness) is what makes shock oil tunable for the driving conditions and demands of each individual race track. K Factory’s superior shock oils maintain viscosity even in hot weather when other oils may thin out.

The high quality you have come to expect from all of K Factory’s parts and equipment is built–in to our performance grade shock oils.

Clearly the Best
Each 2.5 oz bottle of K Factory’s shock oil is clearly labeled for easy selection, perfect for your touring, on-road or off-road vehicle. K Factory shock oils are available in 200 to 700 with 50 increment.
