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.

Coming from JConcepts and made for HB Racing’s forthcoming D819 1/8th nitro buggy is the new S15 body shell. The S15 blends performance features on the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabilizer kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the D819 and D817V2 kit variants. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the HB Racing chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Each body comes with window masks and a decal sheet.

ZooRacing have introduced their latest 190mm touring car body shell called the DogsBollox. Developed as an outright low centre of gravity body the lid features a 6mm lower trunk section – including the rear wing – for greater corning speeds, a more agile handling and less weight distribution changes. In addition to the low rear end the body also offers a super low front end which further adds to the aggressive LCG aero package. When run on high to very high-grip surfaces drivers will experience a lot less traction rolling issues even when using the body in the new 85g ETS weight rule configuration. The body is an evolution of the successful PreoPard and thus offers exceptional overall downforce and stability, making it ideal for the higher speeds of the 13.5T Pro Stock and Modified classes. The shell offers several aero features, such as a recessed roof section for less drag, that channels the airflow towards the rear wing for great rear end stability at both low and high speeds while the forward placed cabin and the specially shaped front end produce more steering compared to the ZooZilla as well as greater rotation in corners for greater corner speeds and a more nimble handling.
