Hobbywing XeRun XR10 Stock Spec – Full details

Following first teaser images and brief information, Hobbywing have now officially revealed the XeRun XR10 Stock Spec brushless speed controller.

Pro-Line 105mm Ultra reservoir shock absorbers

Made for 1/10th crawlers and scale rigs are Pro-Line’s new Ultra reservoir shocks. They feature a fully functioning reservoir with a realistic divider piston and set screw for adjusting the shock rebound. The aluminium shock cap, shock body, reservoir, bottom caps, spring perch, shock end and steel shock shaft have all been CNC machined to exacting tolerances to achieve the highest quality shock imaginable and have been designed with scale realism in mind. X-Ring seals are used for both the main shaft seal and the divider piston for the smoothest and lowest friction seal possible for these 9mm bore shocks. From the top mounting hole to the bottom mounting hole the Ultra reservoir shocks measure out to be 105mm at full extended length and collapse down to 75mm for a full 30mm of shock travel. Just like Pro-Line’s popular PowerStroke shocks, the Ultra reservoir shocks feature dual rate Springs but these shocks come with an extra collar to adjust exactly where the dual rate springs transitions to single rate, similar to full scale shocks. Smaller hole pistons are also included for added tuning options. The Ultra reservoir shocks come mostly pre-built and do require oil to be installed by the user.
