Traxxas Rustler 4×4 Sledgehammer tyres

Coming from Traxxas and made for the Rustler 4×4 monster truck are the new Sledgehammer tyres that provide extreme traction on a variety of off-road terrain. The Sledgehammer’s increased diameter provides improved ground clearance while the open-block design clears away mud and debris for exceptional traction on loose surfaces. They are perfect for both the Rustler 4×4 and Stampede 4×4 models as the increased diameter provides additional ground clearance and the extreme open block tread design clears debris for unmatched traction. A new heavy-duty wheel design provides additional strength and the eyes are sold pre-glued and ready to install.

AKA Scribble 1/8th buggy tyre

AKA have announced the release of their new Scribble tyre for 1/8th buggies. Inspired by the popular 1/10th buggy Scribble, the 1/8th scale version continues the trend of exceptional performance right out of the bag and superior wear characteristics. The innovative Scribble tread supports the tread and the carcass at the same time, necessitating a new carcass design. This combination of the new carcass and the supportive Scribble tread pattern promotes even wear across the entire width of the tyre for consistent performance run after run. Testing of the Scribble has shown it is at home on indoor tracks as well as hard pack, low dust outdoor tracks. The initial release of the 1/8th Scribble will be in Clay compound with other compounds to follow in the coming weeks.

Xray T4 series aluminium steering blocks

Coming from Xray and made for the T4 series of touring cars are new aluminium steering blocks with carbon fibre Ackermann plates. The steering blocks feature an ultra-strong construction that provides a very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. Composite bushings are used to secure the ball bearings in place which allows the bearings to fit perfectly and spin freely, giving much higher lifetime compared to bearings installed directly into aluminium steering blocks. The graphite extensions mount to the steering block and features the same Ackermann position as the standard composite steering block, however the extensions can be mounted either from the top or bottom. The alloy steering blocks are recommended for high traction conditions as they improve stability and makes the car turn smoother. In addition to using them up front they also fit the rear ARS kit where they allow greater toe in/out gain adjustment possibilities. The set includes the steering blocks, steering plates, ball bearing bushings as well as ball races.
