Losi LMT 4wd Solid Axle Monster Truck

Completely designed from the ground up, the Losi LMT 4wd Solid Axle Monster Truck is the first of its kind on the market combining all-out performance with incredible scale detail. Starting with the chassis, a twin vertical plate is designed to provide all of the performance adjustments needed to tune the truck for any situation. Whether you are a scale driver, a basher or a racer, the chassis is designed to accommodate multiple shock setups keeping you tracking straight, no matter the terrain. New multi-piece axle housings surround the 1/8th scale drivetrain. Additionally, the easy access centre transmission comes stock with a centre differential and allows for quick changes with the optional spool for that wheel standing action. For the true Monster truck experience, the axles also allow for optional 4-wheel steering and a new adjustable servo saver to keep the wheels pointed in the right direction. The Spektrum Firma Smart 130 Amp ESC and 3150kv 4-pole Brushless motor allow you to unlock blazing speeds. Drivers stay in control with a DX3 transmitter and a Spektrum SR315 DSMR 3-Channel Sport Receiver. A composite flip top cage adds scale realism and protection, as well as functionality so you can easily access your battery and electronics. Of course, the scale detail doesn’t stop there with headers, drivers and LED lights and Losi have teamed up with Monster Jam for your choice of a Grave Digger or Son-Uva Digger body. Want to customise and kit out your own Monster Truck, the LMT is also available as a Roller.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy RTR rock crawler

Element RC have released a RTR version of their Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy rock crawler. Previously only available as a kit, it now comes in two different RTR sets, both with brushless electronics, transmitter and receiver, while only the LiPo combo comes with charger and battery pack. Packed full of performance features the Gatekeeper Suspension package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Fenix Racing G12 1/12th scale chassis

Fenix Racing have introduced their new G12 1/12th scale chassis featuring the company’s V-link rear suspension. The G12 has been tested in different environments and tracks, in Europe and Japan, with a huge development done by Mr. Kimihiko Yano and his team. The rear end sports 5 different roll centres positions, to grant you the most precise setup, to get the most from your rear tyres. Multiple side links are used to set the rear bump steer in the best way possible and for the front end they tested several solutions, but nothing come close to the CRC front end. Camber, caster and dynamic caster, everything is easy to work on and on top of that, the CRC front end has proven to be super reliable.
