Team Bomber TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit

Following a couple of teaser images Team Bomber have fully unveiled their all-new TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car kit.

The bearings are high-quality X9 ball races supplied by Axon and the included high-quality titanium steering and camber turnbuckles offer both a low weight and high rigidity.

New from FTX is the semi-scale Torro 4WD desert trophy truck.

For something a little different FTX have added a bit of colour to the Torro EP, with some blue moulded suspension parts and roll cage accessories, just to liven things up a little instead of bland old black.

Element RC Enduro24 Sendero RTR trail truck

Element RC have introduced their new Enduro24 Sendero ready-to-run trail truck. Whether it’s outside on the trail or in the comfort of the own living room, there’s no doubt this little rig will overcome the challenge. This small-scale, 4-wheel-drive crawler comes equipped with many features found on larger size rigs. Full-time 4-wheel-drive transmission with divorced transfer case, metal vertical chassis rails, and 4-link suspension ensure climbing over obstacles will be a breeze. Providing power and control is a 2-in-1 receiver/ESC, 2-channel radio, powerful servo, and single-cell LiPo. Just install the batteries, charge, and go. Right out of the box, the Enduro24 RTR is ready for adventure where front and rear injection-moulded 4-link suspension allows for smooth articulation to crawl over rough terrain. The chassis-mounted servo provides maximum steering while maintaining scale looks. Crawl, grip and climb over obstacles with black, injection-moulded single-piece rims wrapped in soft compound rubber tyres. The forward-mounted motor puts the heaviest part of the rig over the front tires. This forward-bias weight keeps the front tires on the ground and provides better front grip during ascents. The divorced transfer case provides a lower centre of gravity in a compact space. Not only does this combination perform well, it also adds scale realism, allowing for plenty of room should you want to add a custom body or interior.
