West Coast R/C Works 2WD fan shrouds

West Coast R/C Works have announced new additions to their popular fan shroud line in the form of dedicated 2WD buggy fan shrouds. Developed using customer feedback, the newly developed shrouds make maximum use of the tight space available in mid motor 2WD buggies and trucks with three different variants being available. The 2WD buggy fan shroud was designed for the weight conscious Stock racer while the 2WD buggy fan shroud long provides extra cooling for Modified and Stock classes. The third option is the directed fan shroud that provides the most cooling due to the cooling of the front and end bell. The standard and long versions should be installed behind the motor and trimming of the side guard may be required while the directed shroud should be installed on top of the battery.

Protoform Chevrolet Corvette C7 Pro-Mod body shell

Following a first teaser image Protoform have officially unveiled their all new Chevrolet Corvette C7 Pro-Mod body shell for drag car converted Traxxas Slash 2WD trucks. Protoform has a long heritage in RC Drag Racing. In fact, the first body the brand ever released back in 1992 was a Stealth Funny Car, so PF are getting back to their roots by introducing the company’s first-ever body dedicated to the fast-growing SC Drag Racing class: the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Pro-Mod. This body will transform the Traxxas Slash 2WD into a scale 1/4-mile beast with a ton of realistic details to give the SC drag car a super unique, race-inspired look. The C7 Pro-Mod is a convenient 1-piece body design with no assembly necessary. Protoform recommend using Pro-Line’s Hoosier 2.2” Drag Racing front tyres on the front and Hoosier Drag Slick SC 2.2”/3.0” Drag Racing tyres in the rear combined with a set of Pro-Line’s Pomona Drag Spec wheels for the ultimate scale hot-rod stance. To create a more scale look, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body and will require some modifications to the 2WD Slash in order to fit correctly.
