Wild Turbo Fan Blow Harder 30mm fan

Wild Turbo Fan have introduced their new Blow Harder 30mm fan unit. The 12mm thick fan features an industry first nine exhaust fins design which generates the twisting wind pattern for focused air flow, hence more air to cool the object. With the nine exhaust fins design the support structure between the case and the core has been increased, and together with thicker side walls the case is much stronger compared to a standard 30mm fan. A round lip is also moulded into the intake side of the fan to further smooth out air flow. Last but not least, all the fan unit is manufactured with all new electronics.

Pro-Line Raid 2.8” removable hex wheels

Pro-Line have introduced their new Raid 2.8” removable hex wheels for the monster trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Rustler. The design allows to easily change the offset of the wheel to fit different applications by simply changing out the hex. Owners can go from the included 12mm narrow offset for the 2WD Stampede/Rustler rear to the included 12mm wide offset hexes for the 2WD Stampede/Rustler front and 4×4 Stampede/Rustler front and rear offsets quickly and easily. They also allow to replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace the glued tyres or even upgrading wheels to the separately sold 17mm wheel hexes for extreme use!. The wheels accomplish all of this and more by using Pro-Line’s unique 6×30 interlocking hex design that is secured to the wheel by six M3 screws that are spaced 30mm across. The Raid wheels feature a detailed 10-spoke design that recreates the latest in high performance full-size forged racing wheels with the strength and durability to match the bold look. Moulded-in bead-loc detail adds to the realism.
