Tamiya TT-02 Audi Quattro Rally A2 kit

Tamiya have announced the soon release of their 1983 Audi Quattro Rally A2 kit on the proven TT-02 entry-level 4WD chassis kit. The highlight of the kit is the finely recreated Quattro body with its moulded side mirrors, rear wing and fog lap clusters that give the iconic rally monster the aggressive appearance it is known for. A detailed sticker sheet helps to recreate the iconic Audi motorsports colours and the chassis is decked out with 5-spoke wheels and rally tread pattern tyres. The chassis itself offers symmetrical suspension arms, easy-to-maintain gearboxes as well as ten possible gear ratios. It can be upgraded using a variety of aftermarket parts and the kit will hit stores in mid-July.

Pro-Line Trencher HP 2.8” pre-mounted belted tyre

Coming soon from Pro-Line is the Trencher HP 2.8” pre-mounted and belted all-terrain monster truck tyre. Pro-Line has developed the technology to mould a high-performance herringbone weave pattern belt inside of the relentless, tall and grippy tread of the new Trencher HP. Made for all-terrain bashing, the Trencher HP tyres will not balloon or expand during use and will still provide exceptional grip thanks to the soft M2 compound. The tyres come mounted on black removable hex Raid wheels and they fit trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Rustler 2WD and 4WD.

Pro-Line Hoosier Super Chain Link T 2.2” truck tyre

Fully licensed by Hoosier, the Pro-Line Hoosier Super Chain Link tread pattern not only looks amazingly scale but the tyre also offers the same high-performance as full-size tyres, so drivers can have realistic style and performance on any 2.2” truck application. And just like the full-size Hoosier tyres, these Super Chain Link tyres proudly display white Hoosier logos on the sidewall. The tyres feature rounded side tread for consistent slide action that will not catch ruts and flip the truck when thrown into the corner. The chain link tread pattern creates excellent steering combined with long-lasting and consistent performance and the tyres comes made of Pro-Line’s soft M3 rubber compound.

Avid Awesomatix unsprung brass weights

Avid have introduced new unsprung brass weights for the Awesomatix A800 and A700 touring cars. The weights attach to the end of the front arms to give more on-power responsiveness, causing the car to feel more direct when coming out of the corners, almost feeling like it slingshots out. The radiused bottom keeps the weights from digging into the wheel on big hits.

Xray XB8 zero rebound shock absorbers

Coming from Xray are their new zero rebound shock absorbers for the XB8 series of buggies. The dampers can be set to allow less rebound than standard shock absorbers, decreasing responsiveness and improving bump absorption on bumpy tracks. The design of the shock body and upper cap allows the installation of a ribbed shock membrane on the top of the shock body instead of the traditional installation into the upper cap. The installation of the ribbed membrane on the shock body allows excess oil to leak out, and along with a shock cap vent hole and adjusting screw allows the adjustment of the amount of air until the desired zero rebound is achieved. The lower shock assembly ensures that the shock rod will move very freely inside the shock body, while minimising oil leakage and keeping dirt out. Other features include double O-ring sealing, 3.5mm shock shafts as well as lower rubber boots to keep dust, dirt and moisture away from the shock shaft and seals. Available separately for the front and rear, the shocks include a complete set of pistons but not springs.
