When Brian won the S.I.G.P. that pushed the press release schedule back, and the last new part will be shown on Monday.

D.M.S. should have the new part -- it's a D.D.P. item -- in just a few days, so send your order with an extra $25 and he'll ship the new one ASAP -- you'll be both surprised and happy!

I like the smart idea of red sticker on the battery strap...

Cheers, it's actually motor wire heatshrink. I have to do it because the two types of Vampire lipos I have, have the terminals the opposite way around so the older ones in my truck have +ive at the front and the newer ones in the X6 are at the back. If they weren't labelled it would be only a matter of time before I messed up

So here's the second new part: http://rcinsider.com/ I'm surprised nobody noticed.

This is one of Brian's speed secrets. He's faster in the pits because they never strip and don't seem to load up much with dirt. And faster on the track because you can use a touch more torque on the bolt so they don't back out as easily.

X Factory UK has 'em now. They also have the individual sizes and the two drivers. Since the flat head and cap head use the same driver, most work requires just one tool. As Dirt would say, "Dialed!"

I actually put some red nail polish around the positive terminal. I have the same issue with differant batteries having the + terminal on opposite sides. I like the Torx screws. I have them on some of my cars. They are the best on the bottom of the chassis where the screws like to strip out easy.

I couldn't agree more, these may not be the coolest looking product but they are SO much better than hex heads. Since I started using them 2(?) years ago, I've NEVER stripped one!
