New Orcan 1/10th scale tires

New Orcan 1/10th scale tires

SMI Motorsport will offer its Orcan tires for the 1/10 scale nitro on road class with a new rim. In comparison to the old wheel the new rim differs not only visually by a so-called Dish design but more than that with an optimised performance. The closed Dish design offers better aerodynamics and together with the lightweight version, a noticeably better turn-in, apart from the weight advantage. The new rims have been tested by the experienced SMI/Orcan team led by European Champion Dirk Wischnewski. “The driveability at the same shore level has raised generally and specially in fast corners”, says Xray factory driver Wischnewski. SMI offers the new Orcan tyres which come in handy and waste reducing, re sealable bags, in ‘super soft’ and ‘soft’ for front wheels and ‘soft’ and ‘medium’ for rear wheels.

RC4WD Boyer truggy crawler

The Boyer Truggy from RC4WD is extremely versatile so you can set it up any way you like. Different bodies, different size/length shocks, adjustable wheelbase, adjustable frame mounted servo, adjustable rock sliders and adjustable front brush guard. Plus it has pre-drilled holes for mounting the winch on the bumper. The rock sliders are threaded so they can slide in and out to adjust to the width of the body. They are also offset so when you switch them side to side then that allows you to run the regular cab bodies like the Hilux. When you switch them side to side the rock sliders will sit further back on the chassis.
