Traxxas introduce updated E-Revo monster truck

Coming soon from Traxxas is their updated E-Revo electric monster truck that received some subtle changes to further improve power, speed and strength. The truck features a new Maxx-Spec driveline that was inspired by the larger X-Maxx truck with the E-Revo sporting a sturdy all-metal drivetrain with reinforced diffs, gears and driveshafts. Also new for the 2019 E-Revo is self-righting ability that, with the simply press a button on the transmitter, in most circumstances, will bring the truck back on its wheels in just seconds. Armed with a fortified drivetrain, E-Revo’s VXL-6s power system now pounds out more tire-scorching motivation than ever before, all the way to more than 110km/h or 70mph. Advanced design and sophisticated microprocessor control make this the most punchy and reliable high-voltage VXL power system ever. Other features include new, larger Talon EXT wheels and tyres, new, beefier suspension arms, and more.

Exotek Rock Rey alloy diff case & steel brake disks

Exotek have introduced two new option parts for the Losi Rock Rey kits in the form of a heavy duty aluminium diff gear case and a stainless steel brake disk set. Starting with the diff case, the item was designed for the front or rear of the Losi Rock or Baja Rey vehicles. It includes bigger-than-stock steel diff screws to prevent blowing out the gear diff under heavy loads. Also new is a drilled stainless steel hex brake disk set for the Rey series of off-road cars. The 1-piece design combines the brake disk and wheel hex for increased durability and true wheel alignment. Drilled vented slots add realism and style to the ride. The set includes four brake disks and it is a direct fit.

SWorkz S14-3 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy kit

Following a first teaser SWorkz have officially introduced their new S14-3 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggy kit. The kit takes the S14-2 as a base and features a load of redesigned and improved areas such as the suspension that did away with the front pivot ball design in favour of a standard C-hub and steering knuckle assembly which will greatly improve performance especially when racing on high-bite carpet tracks. All suspension components, including the new front and rear A-arms are moulded from a strong nylon composite material. Also new to the S14-3 is an improved shock absorber system as is the redesigned 7075 aluminium chassis that, in combination with the new carbon fibre upper decks, will improve rear traction. Another area of improvement are the new and unique 5mm axle universal cross driveshafts that are made using the same high-grade steel material SWorkz uses for their 1/8th off-road vehicles. The buggy already prove its competitiveness in the hands of factory driver Micha Widmaier and it will hit stores around mid-October.
