Samix have introduced their new aluminium front bumper mount for the Traxxas TRX-4 truck. Machined from high-quality alloy the parts adds strength for improved chassis rigidity while adding visual impact at the same time. The laser-engraved bumper mount comes in silver, black or hard-anodised finish and with machined silver edge details.
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.
Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Traxxas’ TRX-4 trail truck are aluminium rear C-hubs. Machined from aluminium and sporting a black surface coating, the hubs add strength and precision to the rear end of the truck without adding too much weight, making them the ideal choice over optional brass items.

Another new Traxxas Stampede body shell from JConcepts is the 1993 Ford F-250. For the ninth generation, the body-shell of the 1993 F-Series was given another major upgrade and now a direct fit for the Traxxas Stampede. To further improve its aerodynamics, the forward bodywork was given a slightly lower hood line, and a rounding of the front fenders and grille. The “Blue Oval,” a trademark of all Ford pickups, makes a striking appearance centered in the grille. Stout fender flares are carved ever so carefully in to the panels while openings allow for a vast assortment of tires on the market. The F-250 single-cab look is strong and is a careful reminder of a time when passengers sat side-by-side during a typical outing. The body comes clear and includes an authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist and it fits the original Stampede truck as well as the Skully, Craniac and Bigfoot kits.
Pro-Line has introduced the new pre-cut Brute Bash Armor body shell for the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. Featuring Pro-Line’s all-new Bash Armor material the lid has been developed from the ground up to be the toughest body Pro-Line has ever produced. The all-new material is twice as thick as regular X-Maxx bodies and is ultra-flexible to prevent cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets that feature fender and window graphics to complete the look. The Brute is Pro-Line’s take on a modern truck and features a bold grill with eye-pleasing body lines sure to turn heads at your local bash spot. The Brute body has been designed to work with the stock X-Maxx body mount and cage system which is sold separately and is required for proper mounting.
Coming from JConcepts is the 1951 Ford Panel Grandma body shell for the Traxxas Stampede monster truck. The “Grandma” was one of the most feared vehicles in monster truck racing during the late 1980’s. The 1951 Ford Panel truck was mean, a little green and always known for the most amazing single qualifying passes. JConcepts went to work creating the 1951 truck by once again starting from scratch to redefine a generation design from the “golden years”. The hood of the truck makes its point with a swooping radius and raised badging. The front fenders boast a large set-back to the hood which makes that undeniable stance as a 1950’s panel truck. The stand-up cab screams retro while the side windows are small but large enough for a scale driver to take a look outside. The body line along the side separates the sides to break-up the height between the fenders and top of the dome. The rear fender flare kicks-out in a vicious way to protect chassis components while giving the rear of the vehicle an almost car-like flare. The Ford truck has built-in running boards featuring a diamond-plate look which is found on the real monster while the wheel well openings are slightly enlarged to accommodate a large assortment of jumbo tyres and specifically, JConcepts’ Rangers and Fling King tyres. The front grille is made as a secondary part to get the utmost detail and 3D design which can be painted or decorated off the vehicle for the most convenience. After trimming, the front grille can be attached (using not included double-sided tape) into the recessed portion on the body as the finishing touch to this ultra tough and memorable piece. The body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet and it fits all Stampede-based Traxxas monster trucks.
Coming from JConcepts is the Ford F-250 body shell for the Traxxas Stampede truck. The 1989 Ford body built and fit for the Traxxas Stampede offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and moulded front and rear bumper. The must-have body of the 1980’s was featured on several of the most popular full-size monster trucks during this generation and always proved to be popular among the Ford enthusiasts and always wreaked havoc on the competition. The 1989 F-series carries over the same body style from the previous generation, yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the rear of the bed and large fender arches around the wheel wells provides the scale monster truck look. The body features flush-fitting grille and headlights, wrap-around parking lights, a minimalist grille and an accurate and clean-looking Ford and JConcepts decal sheet.
