New from Traxxas, the race-winning Kumho Road Venture MT tires are the latest competition-proven treads to be captured in 1/10 scale. The distinctive design is realistically molded in their versatile standard compound and S1 compound for even greater off-road traction and cornering grip. The Road Venture MT’s unique, aggressive sidewall detail and raised lettering are perfectly rendered for realistic looks and authentic performance. These tires are standard equipment on the latest Scott Douglas/Mike Oberg Edition Slash and Slash 4X4, and are also available in unmounted pairs with foam inserts, or as mounted pairs. Mounted tires are available in front and rear offsets for Slash, while the Slash 4X4 uses ‘rear offset’ Slash wheels as both front and rear wheels.

X-Factory SCX-60 short course truck

X-Factory are showing off images of the new hand made SCX-60 short course truck which team driver Brian Kinwald has been busy developing. They are made one at a time by Speedy Dad in Phoenix, who is X-Factory Teamer Alex Krieg’s father. He cuts 2 X-60 chassis’ apart and glues them back together to make one longer scx – 60 short course chassis, adding CF reinforcements. The chassis’ come out just as stiff as the originals and no Speedy Dad chassis has broken so far where it was put together. X-Factory got the idea to make these because Speedy Dad had put together numerous chassies for Team testing on various projects, so this was easy for him, the technique was already perfected. Of course Alex had the first one, and he set fastest lap at the 2009 ROAR Nationals with it. They are expensive, the customer must either start with an X-60 donor truck or buy both the chassis and an X-60 Conversion Kit to convert either a T4 or an SC10. Available only from X Factory by e-mail (chazz@4wdrc.com).
