  • RCM Launch New ‘Track Attack’ Catch Tank

    Current Time Attack Champions Roger Clark Motorsport has added another track tested product to their collection; their new 1.5 litre ‘Track Attack’ Catch Tank.
    Each tank is hand-fabricated in RCM’s own development workshops from lightweight aerospace grade aluminium and balances an unusually large capacity with a slim body profile, allowing it to be fitted in a huge variety of positions.
    The tank utilises Dash 8 fittings throughout and can either be blanked off to allow ventilated oil to be collected in the catch tank or routed back to the sump if preferred to maintain oil capacity. By using the RCM tank, owners venturing out onto the track or driving hard on the road can expect to prolong engine life thanks to improved levels of lubrication and protection.
    Despite its brilliant levels of construction and unparalleled material choice the RCM ‘Track Attack’ tank costs just £275 + VAT.

  • Making your own car video

    Since the launch of the camera phone, car owners across the globe have gone mad for video, making hundreds of thousands of small video clips and uploading them to sites such as YouTube and Vimeo. Video has become an increasingly popular topic across a range of different age groups and by the looks of it will continue to grow at an unbelievable rate, YouTube is now the 2nd biggest “search engine” in the WORLD and attracts millions of users each week.

    You can actually make your own video by using your camera phone and edit it using the software provided with your phone. If you are looking to make a more professional video for uploading to YouTube or sharing with friends you can use what they call an action camera. These are video cameras which have been designed for outdoor use and come in a variety of different models, some of which are even waterproof and can be used during water sports.

    Here at Maxxd we have tested a number of action cameras, these include the GoPro Motorsport, GoPro Helmet Hero from GoPro UK, the Action Sports Cam and more recently a brand new camera from HD POV.

    After many trials, tests, heated discussions and more tests we cannot come to a decision on which one we like the best. However we do feel its a toss up between the GoPro and HDPOV, they both have their uses and benefits and both fall within similar price brackets….

    We shall see what happens in the next six months and keep our eyes peeled for more reviews 🙂
