Arrma Senton & Granite 4×4 3S BLX RTR trucks

Horizon Hobby have introduced the Arrma Senton 4×4 3S BLX short course and Granite 4×4 3S BLX monster ready-to-run trucks. Both base off of an updated 4×4 composite tub chassis that also received reinforced transmissions to handle up to 3S LiPo power with their 3200kV brushless motors and 100A-rated speed controllers. Oil-filled large volume plastic body shock absorbers ensure the wheels stay on the ground even in demanding bashing conditions and grippy dBoots tyres put the power to the ground efficiently. The trucks are rounded out by pre-painted body shells and also included are Tactic TTX300 2.4GHz radio systems meaning needed for completion is just a 2S or 3S LiPo battery pack and a suitable charger.

Reds Racing WR7 2.0 7-port engine

Reds Racing have introduced their new WR7 2.0 7-port nitro off-road engine. It is a 7 special porting extreme power engine based on the WR7 Diamond edition and the power plant comes with the same sleeve and piston, crankshaft, crankcase, etc. as the first generation of the WR7, in order to keep its power characteristics unchanged. However, Reds Racing decided to update the previous version with improved idle stability and tuning options thanks to a new 3-needle setting carburettor, an improved mid to top range power curve and feeling thanks to a special low speed needle and mid range spray bar as well as an improved cooling system specifically developed to widen the operating range so that the engine can work well in extremely hot conditions. Furthermore, the new cooling system has been created to guarantee a more consistent tuning in every track condition. The engine is available with a DLC coated or with standard steel crankshaft and also as pre-broken-in and Racy Ready by EB variants.
