LRP S8-BXe Team Brushless buggy

After showing it for the first time as a prototype back in February, LRP have finally released the new electric version of their S8-BX buggy, called the S8-BXe Team. Essentially the same front and rear, the main difference is to the central part of the car where the engine has been replaced with a brushless motor and the fuel tank with the battery mount. Due to the design of the S8 BXe, the choice of motor and battery is simple, fitting all common electronic components and depending on your preferences and applications you have the choice, with all ROAR legal motors and LiPo batteries able to be mounted. A conversion kit for LRP S8 BX Premium RTR and S8 BX Team Kit is also available and allows you to easily convert your nitro car, quickly and economically into an electric version.

Racers Edge SC RaceCase Transporter bag

New from Racers Edge, the SC RaceCase was inspired by the emerging Short Course class of vehicles, but its capacity and design reach far beyond. With the optional mid-deck installed the case can carry two on road sedans up to 200mm and this would also include any minis or smaller, like HPI Cup Racer sedans. Once the mid-deck is removed the RaceCase can transport an 1/8th scale buggy with the tires and wing on, comp and scale crawlers, 1/10th scale off road trucks and buggies, and of course Short Course trucks like the Traxxas Slash and Team Associated SC10. It will also carry the 1/8th scale versions of this class like the Team Associated RC8. An integrated radio compartment offers easy transmitter storage, or extra room for tires, tools, or whatever else you can think of. There are also two external pockets with tough zippers for extra storage, while reinforced carry handles in two locations offer comfortable carrying positions no matter what you’re transporting. The shoulder strap also offers a hands free carrying position for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.
