Ultimate Racing fuel filter & exhaust gas cooler

Modelix Racing have announced the release of the new Ultimate Racing fuel filter and exhaust gas cooler. Both feature machined and red anodised aluminium cans that offer a heatsink design for looks and functionality. While adding visual impact, the fins can also help to reduce the temperature of both the fuel and exhaust gas which can lead to better idling, as well as slightly increased power and run time. Included with the fuel filter and exhaust gas cooler, the latter is being placed into the pressure line between the exhaust pipe and fuel tank, come plastic mounting clamps for easy installation. Both accessories are available separately or as combo package.

Pro-Line 1969 Chevrolet Nova drag car body

Pro-Line have introduced the iconic 1969 Chevrolet Nova body specifically designed for the growing SC drag racing scene. This body is perfect for no-prep drag racing and features an ultra-realistic one-piece body design and includes an optional add on spoiler to complete the drag racing look. It helps to transform a Traxxas Slash 2WD SC truck into a scale ¼-mile beast with this retro hardtop sports coupe body, featuring all the scale details of the full-scale counterpart. Pro-Line recommend using their Hoosier 2.2” drag racing front tyres on the front and Hoosier drag slick SC 2.2”/3.0” drag racing tyres in the rear combined with a set of their Pomona drag spec wheels for the ultimate scale hot-rod look. In order to create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body and will require some modifications to the 2WD Slash to fit correctly.

Pro-Line Prism SC front 2.2”/3.0” carpet tyre

Coming from Pro-Line is their new Prism SC front 2.2”/3.0” 1/10th scale short course tyre, specially developed for the use in carpet racing. The tread features tons of ultra-sharp prism shaped pins in the middle of the tyre combined with Wedge style pins on the outside for exceptional steering on small and tight carpet tracks without the edgy feel of full pin tyres. The pins on the Prism are slightly smaller than the original Pin Point rear tyre but there are many more of them, which results in faster and more consistent lap times. The Prism pins have been positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip and to stay sharp even as they wear down. The Prism front tyre perfectly pairs with Pro-Line’s Prism SC rear tyre for ideal carpet racing performance. The tyre is available in Z3 medium and Z4 soft carpet compounds and including blue closed cell inserts.
