JConcepts 1982 GMC K2500 MT body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for 1/10th scale monster trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Tamiya Clod Buster is the 1982 GMC K2500 body, bringing back the late 70’s and early 80’s generation GMC truck line-up to the RC enthusiast. For the early 1980’s model year, the iconic square body emerged, a chiseled front-end, gently swept back from the centre. Fenders were redesigned as well as the hood and the classic vent windows. A new sloped hood replaced the previous generation hood that had less rake, and the exterior changes include optional headlights and an updated tailgate. Side-markers were now horizontal rather than vertical which is another tell-tale look of the later generation styling. The square body generation spanned an incredible 14 years and with small changes to grille, headlights, and trim packages throughout the years, JConcepts has added a bonus to the included decal sheet. Five different grille options are included on the sheet giving the user the option of their favourite square body grille and trim package. Quadruple light and double light bezel setups are included which contain bar and tube grilles combinations. In addition, a plethora of badges are offered on the sheet featuring Sierra Grande, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Scottsdale and Silverado combinations.

Team Powers Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller

Coming soon from Team Powers is the Radon Pro V4 brushless speed controller. The 200A-rated ESC features new hardware in the form of higher power FETs for a lower internal resistance and thus increased power supply and lower running temperatures. At 17mm the new aluminium case is 2mm lower than the previous version while also scrubbing about six percent of weight. A new PCB layout design improves stability and reliability and the included new firmware provides the ability to access pre-defined software features – such as limiter, throttle rate, RPM lock, brake limit and throttle settings – using a third or fourth radio channel. Furthermore the controller comes with a 6V/7.4V 5A high-performance BEC system to support power-hungry servos.

Pro-Line S3 compound pre-mounted tyres

Pro-Line have introduced their new range of pre-mounted S3 compound 1/8th buggy and truggy tyres. The compound is similar to the X3 long-lasting compound, however it is a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in dry and slick conditions. Another massive improvement with the S3 rubber is that the tyres stay stable throughout long main events and do not fade or get soft near the end of the race. Current variants available include the Hole Shot VTR and Buck Shot VTR truggy pre-mounts as well as the Blockade, Hole Shot, Fugitive, Buck Shot, and Slide buggy tyres. All come mounted on white rims and in sets of two.
