To help reduce costs and lead times we have installed a Tosca automated shot blast machine.
Designed to allow for high production levels, whilst maintaining low running costs, of small and medium sized items.
The machine uses a hydraulic hopper feed and automated discharge belt, both rubber lined to reduce noise levels as much as possible.
The special anti-abrasive grooved belt ensures optimal rotation of components during blasting.
This, combined with our hand shot blast unit, means we should be able to handle over 40% of our shot blast requirements internally.
It is our intention, where lead times allow, to continue using and supporting our local reliable suppliers.
Here’s a First Look at the brand new Duratrax 835E. This true 1/8th scale electric buggy has a powerful brushless system to power the 4wd buggy to very fast speeds. In this unboxing, I show all the details of the ready to run buggy.

With the 835E, there’s no tradeoff between affordable price and performance — you get both in the same package. The going-in price is a pleasant surprise…and what’s even better is what you get for your money. It starts off with a 1/8 scale-size brushless power system. It’s an Onyx 2200kV brushless motor matched to an Onyx 120A waterproof ESC — a combo that can translates to serious air time off jumps, explosive hole shots and wailing top end for straights.
And things only get better from there, because the 835E is loaded with what you want. Extras like sway bars. Tuning options that are usually add-ons. A 2.4GHz transmitter. Hardened steel and anodized aluminum parts — and the protection of the only free, 1-year parts replacement guarantee in all of R/C.
The Duratrax 835E: get it — and hit it. Hard.
