Axial Capra 1.9 4WS Currie Unlimited trail buggy RTR

The Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy is now available in a new version that gives crawling enthusiasts an even more realistic and effective way to manoeuvre. Out of the box, the ready-to-run Capra 1.9 4WS Unlimited Trail Buggy features front and rear steer to make it super capable on the rocks. Axial engineers have installed steer axles at both ends for the enhanced manoeuvrability of 4-wheel steering. Using the third channel button of the included Spektrum DX3 transmitter, you can steer the rear axle from 0 (straight) to 50% or 100%, left and right, to position the tires perfectly for conquering obstacles. The transmission also includes an optional Dig setup that’s disabled from the factory (and requires upgrading to a 4-channel radio and micro servo for use). To have Dig and rear steering capabilities, remove the spacer from inside the transmission and install your micro servo. With the flick of a transmitter button, you can now activate Dig and lock the rear drive axle. That allows you to pull the buggy around by the front end while holding the rear in place. The new Capra 1.9 4WS is available in two new colour schemes, the Currie and the Nitto.

Yokomo YZ-2DTM 3.1 2wd EP buggy

The YZ-2DTM, Yokomo’s 2WD off-road buggy specifically for use on dirt, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version and is now available as a more complete package. Even though it is an upgrade, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a new machine with newly designed parts throughout the chassis. With the goal of improving stability to cope with the increased speed due to the continuously improving power sources, the chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed with the steering hub carrier and the rigidity balance of the front and rear parts has been reviewed to achieve a total balance that leads to improved laptimes. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.
