Pro-Line X-Maxx Trencher 4.3” Pro-Loc tyre

Made for the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8th scale monster truck is Pro-Line’s new Trencher 4.3” Pro-Loc all-terrain tyre. The Trencher 4.3” is wider and taller than the popular Badlands 4.3” for more aggressive looks and performance and it comes in a super soft compound for exceptional grip on loose or hard-packed dirt, sand, snow, grass or gravel. The tyre features Pro-Line’s proprietary Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to Pro-Line’s Impulse Pro-Loc X-Maxx wheels while still being removable when required. The reinforced tyre bead fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tire rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The tyre comes as part including foam inserts.

Mugen MTC-1 floating battery mount

Coming from Mugen and made for the MTC-1 electric touring car is an anti-tweak quick-release battery mount. The multi-piece battery location system is constructed from machined aluminium and carbon fibre, and it does away with the need to hold down the battery using fibre reinforced tape. As the battery can slightly “float”, the chassis can’t be tweaked as it can occur when strapping the battery using tape. Adjustable front and rear stops allow to shift the LiPo pack forth and back for a certain amount in order to fine-tune the weight distribution or to adapt the mount to different battery case sizes. The battery mount set comes including mounting hardware and a shim set to adapt the mounts for standard and low-profile batteries.
