Arrma upgrades 4WD BLX range of vehicles

Arrma have upgraded their BLX range of 4WD vehicles such as the Typhon 6S buggy, the Kraton 6S monster truck and the Senton 6S short course truck. All three now include a new BLX185 brushless power system consisting of a 2050kV motor for massive torque and 60+ mph speeds, plus a waterproof, fan-cooled 150A ESC. The Tactic TTX300 radio is also new, providing fast and consistent car control. Standard features on all three vehicles are also full ready-to-run specifications minus batteries and charger, silicone oil-filled metal gear diffs, new hubs, and twin 2-3S battery trays.

Arrma Nero 6S BLX brushless monster truck

Arrma have introduced their all-new Nero 6S BLX brushless ready-to-run monster truck. The 513mm long vehicle builds on a tough twin vertical plate chassis made up using red anodised aluminium which is further supported by a composite plastic exoskeleton that also acts as a support for the bodyshell. The truck is powered by a 2000kv brushless motor that is coupled to the centre aluminium bulkhead that not only sits very low in the chassis but it is also easily accessible from underneath, making for swift and easy maintenance and cleaning. What makes the Nero 6S stand out is the Diff Brain technology, a system that allows to adjust the handling characteristics of the truck by using one of the four so called Beast Modes. The servo-operated system is accessible on-the-fly using the included 2.4GHz transmitter and it offers Blast, Wheelie, Drift and Climb modes, all of which feature specific front, centre and rear diff settings. Other features of the Nero 6S include front and rear laydown shock absorbers with push rods, easy access differentials, adjustable pivot ball suspension, aluminium and steel driveshafts, and pre-glued large diameter dBoots monster truck wheels. The truck is designed for the use with dual 3S LiPo batteries and it is available with a pre-painted bodyshell and in two specifications, with or without the Diff Brain unit with the letter being available optional as an easy upgrade.

RPM Team Durango & Arrma 1/8th wing mount

RPM have introduced wing mounts for Team Durango’s and Arrma’s latest 1/8th off-road vehicles such as the DEX8, DEX8T, DNX8, the Kraton, Typhon and Talion. The parts solve the breaking issues associated with the original mounts where primarily the front cross brace holes are cracking. RPM’s solution was to eliminate this hole in favour of a flat plane of solid nylon and on top of that the entire mount builds a curve to help add some impact flexibility during a crash. When running normally, the massive amount of material keeps the wing locked in place, providing stable down force on the rear of the vehicle. The wing mounts contain the support bars only and will require the use of the stock Team Durango or Arrma wing, two stock cross braces and stock mounting hardware.
