Axial SCX10 II 1969 Chevrolet Blazer RTR

Axial’s latest incarnation of the popular SCX10 II trail truck is the 1969 Chevrolet Blazer RTR. The kit is decked out with a scale-looking Blazer body for a macho apperance while additional items like chrome-coated grille, mirrors and door handles are also included. Officially licensed Chassis Unlimited front and rear tube bumpers are mounted tight to the body for maximum clearance and a set of offroad lights – with LEDs – shine some light when the action goes dark. To keep the Blazer rolling along in even the toughest situations, Axial mounted it on their rugged SCX10 II chassis. High-clearance AR44 high-pinion axles, a chassis mounted servo, re-designed AX10 transmission case and tough steel suspension links are just a few of the parts that make the Blazer a beast on any terrain. The kit is rounded out by 1.9” Method Hole rims and 1.9” Falken Wild Peak M/T tyres.

Horizon Hobby have introduced the TLR 5ive-T and 5ive-B electric conversion kit. The conversion makes it possible to change the 1/5-scale gas powered TLR 5ive-B buggy or Losi 5ive-T truck into an electric-powered rig. No special tools are required to complete the conversion, the kit parts mount into the existing holes already in the frame and chassis. A carbon-fibre radio tray included can be configured to run single, dual or HS-1000/1005 servos and also included is a mount for an optional mechanical brake servo. The new dual sided servo saver arm provided delivers the precision of a push/pull steering setup and it is made from aluminium for the long lasting durability this monster demands. New adjustable battery trays are made from machined carbon-fibre plate and can accommodate batteries up to 163mm in length so owners can take advantage of multiple battery configurations, including some of the higher capacity XL LiPo packs. Also included is a new motor mount designed to fit most 58mm motors. The motor mount uses the original front engine mounting location with new motor mount slugs designed for use with the electric conversion. ESC mount is elevated to create space on the chassis and get more natural airflow from the body.

JConcepts 2008 Ford F-150 SuperCab MT body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 2008 Ford F-150 SuperCap MT body shell for the growing monster truck community. The eleventh-generation model of Ford’s ultra-popular truck offers a sharper-edged styling with a significant update was the blending of the stepped driver’s window from the Super Duty trucks. JConcepts has built this truck to specifications with the chiseled grille to busty SuperCab all the way down to the bumper and nifty MT specific front chin spoiler. It looks aggressive both because of development but also because of a new generation demand. In addition and taking the gigantic tyres of these kinds of vehicles into consideration, the front fender and bed sides are left without traditional wheel and fender wells. This allows maximum versatility in a segment that has a wide range of set-ups chassis designs and most importantly, wheelbase. The customer can now choose their own wheel well arc and position to match to their specific application and length. The body includes a detailed decal sheet with grille, headlight and taillight layout. Many JConcepts logos, brands and product names have also been included to give a full-compliment of use-able artwork.
