Pro-Line Ambush 4×4 1/25 mini scale crawler

Pro-Line Ambush 4x4 1/25 mini scale crawler

Pro-Line have introduced their new Ambush 1/25 mini scale crawler. The palm-sized vehicle features full-time four wheel drive with solid axles and true leaf spring suspension, allowing it to tackle even the toughest climb. A 3mm steel ladder frame forms the solid base for the transmission and suspension and the black oxide coating makes for long lasting protection against the elements. Sleek chassis-mounted bumpers cap off each end for added protection. Each corner of the truck has a 3-leaf pack with working shackles and attaches to plastic friction shocks that limit down travel. The truck comes factory assembled with a Micro Torque brushed motor, a G9000 micro servo and an integrated ESC/receiver with an open 3rd channel port allowing for unique customisation or future 3rd channel option parts. Included is also a full proportional 2.4GHz radio and the package is rounded out by an open rollcage bodyshell, available in three designs, and Mini Flat Iron tyres mounted on Denali wheels.

Serpent release first SDX 1/10th 4WD buggy image

Serpent have released a first “official” image of their forthcoming 1/10th 4WD electric off-road buggy. In use by Jörn Neumann and other drivers during last weekend’s German Nationals, the shaft-driven and SDX-named buggy is still in prototype stages, making use of both already available Serpent parts such as lower A-arms, shocks while the remainder of the buggy is a mixture of prototype and externally sourced bits. So far the vehicle makes use of a common design with aluminium front and rear bulkheads, and a simple, lightweight mid section. We bring you more information on the project as they become available.
