RC Maker have announced the release of their new GeoCarbon Ti-Series on-road car stand for 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars. Constructed from 13 separate individual parts, secured by aluminium gold plated screws, the car stand boasts elegance and ingenuity. The carbon fibre skin is supported by an anodised aluminium and titanium nitride skeleton, producing a lightweight, strong and long lasting car stand. The bottom of the posts are protected by rubber anti-slip pads, to ensure no scratching of the pit board or posts, and no unwanted sliding around. The top is insulated by thin, extremely durable anti-slip rubber pads to keep the carbon skin looking like new. The car stand is CNC machined and assembled in Australia and it is usable for most 1/10th and 1/12th scale on-road cars.
Pro-Line have introduced their new pre-cut and pre-painted 1967 Ford F-100 Heatwave Edition body shell for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer. The body allows UDR owners to build a fully licensed replica of the popular full-size Heatwave Trophy Truck driven by Chris Isenhouer. The massive black and gold Heatwave decal wrap is also included and pre-cut for easy installation. The body features the iconic flat front F-100 grill and wide fender flares to represent the aggressive fiberglass bulges found on Chris’ full-size race truck. Pro-Line’s 1967 F-100 Heatwave Edition body mounts directly to the cage on the UDR in the same locations as the stock body, so all owners need to do is remove the outer film, place the wrap following the included instructions, and install the body just like they would the stock body.
Pro-Line bring the Fugitive tread to 1/10th size with the Fugitive 2.2” rear tyre. The Fugitive was developed to be the longest lasting race tyre ever produced while still being quick and agile. The Fugitive 2.2” tyre comes standard with Pro-Line’s long-lasting closed cell foam insert. When combined with Pro-Line’s S3 compound for high grip tracks, the Fugitive easily has the best performance to cost ratio of any Pro-Line tyre making it perfect for many European-style outdoor tracks. The tyre is available in M3 soft, M4 super soft and S3 soft compound.

Pro-Line have introduced their all-new Supersonic speed run body shell for the Traxxas Slash 4×4. There is a whole community built around pushing the limits of speed with the Slash 4×4 – and other SC-based trucks – and the Supersonic body will help owners jump right in. Belted tyres are a must for going fast and the Pro-Line Reaction HP SC tyres and even the Avenger HP 1/8th scale tyres pair perfectly with the Supersonic body. With the Pro-Line extended body mounts the body can be slammed as low as possible and optional wide offset hexes add even more high-speed stability to the build while filling out the wheel wells. The body comes clear, including window masks and a large decal sheet.
Following a couple of teasers Infinity have finally unveiled their new IF14-2 electric 4WD touring car kit. Building on the IF14 the second incarnation will feature a new drivetrain layout that sees the spur gear being moved to the front of the motor, as the latter remained in the same position as on the IF14. The layout was choses to create a balanced driving feeling, on and off throttle, and to enable the car to run at a constant speed throughout the race. Newly designed suspension arms have a new system incorporated, which makes it possible to fine-tune the shock lever ratio. The new system – that uses inserts for the shock tower and lower arms – coupled with the newly designed shock towers, make it possible to change the shock lever ratio without changing the shock mounting angle. In this way, by changing the shock lever ratio, drivers can change the spring rate, which subtly affects tyre performance, without changing shock springs. With the IF14, when changing the mounting width of suspension arms, and the mounting angle of the shock also changed. With the IF14-II, however, setup is much simpler. Drivers can now adjust the suspension geometry without changing the mounting angle of the shock.
Made for their popular T4 2020 mid-motor car is Xray’s all-new 2.0mm extra-flex aluminium main chassis. It is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium with additional machining – compared to the aluminium flex chassis – increasing torsional flex, making the chassis ideal for low-traction carpet or high-traction asphalt tracks. For higher traction carpet tracks though, Xray recommend their existing aluminium flex or full face aluminium chassis. The black anodised extra-flex chassis features machined silver edge details for looks as well as laser-engraved Xray logos.
