FTX Hi-Rock/Fury portal axle conversion kit

FTX have introduced their new portal axle conversion kit for the Hi-Rock and Fury trail trucks. Creating an increase in distance between the axle housing and the ground for improved clearance, the portal drives also feature a different drive ratio that improves the crawling performance over obstacles via each wheel. The axles feature all alloy axle housings, painted alloy diff covers, CNC machined steering knuckles, front CVA driveshafts, CNC C-hubs, CNC portal housing and CNC steering bar. Heavy duty hardened, drive gears are used throughout and all shafts are ball bearing supported. A Panhard bar finishes off the set. The conversion can also be mounted on the Element RC Enduro platform if the steering bar is mounted at the front.

FTX Outback Hi-Rock 1/10 trail crawler RTR

FTX have introduced the Outback Hi-Rock, an evolution of the Outback trail chassis. As trail and crawler fans continue to crave both scale performance and scale looks, FTX have looked to address both with the Hi-Rock. Featuring a new split transmission, the motor is now mounted directly above the front axle alongside the steering servo providing extra weight up front for better traction when climbing ascents. The steering angle has been increased to a 45 degrees angle for further improved trail manoeuvrability. An adjustable drivetrain slipper can be set to protect the transmission and driveshafts in the event of a lock up, while internal axle and gearbox metal gears provide long term durability. The split transmission layout provides a much lower centre section allowing for aftermarket interiors to be mounted for added scale realism. The moulded side chassis plates have aluminium plates on the exterior while the inner plates provide protection from the elements as well as mounting receiver and Hobbywing speed control. The moulded receiver box features additional plug in ports for LED lights and aftermarket winches. The classic pick-up inspired body shell comes complete with moulded accessories such as front grill and LED light buckets, snorkel, mirrors, wipers, roll bar cage and spotlights for optional LEDs. Front and rear bumpers feature mounted LED lights and tow hooks to top off that scale look. The ready-to-run truck will hit stores in mid-February.
