Pro-Line have introduced the newest and largest addition to their popular line of Rock Crawling Performance foam inserts, the all-new 2.9″ Dual Stage Closed Cell Inner/Soft outer foam for SCX6.

JConcepts Aggressor wheels, Fling King & Renegade tires

JConcepts continue to expand their monster truck line-up with the release of their new Aggressor wheels as well as Fling Kings and Renegade tires. The Aggressor wheel is familiar, on the outside it looks like its successful sibling, the Tribute wheel. However, to accommodate some of today’s trucks, the Aggressor is beefed up starting with thick wall sections throughout the wheel and a reinforced 17mm hex adaptor with a ten-leg bolt pattern that locks and keys into the wheel. To fit many of today’s solid axle and independent suspension monster trucks such as the Losi LMT and Traxxas Maxx, the inside of the wheel is raised to a 3.8” bead mounting diameter. The 2.6” outer bead diameter combined with the 3.8” inner diameter makes the wheel incredibly versatile and can fit to an array of vehicles on the market while still providing that monster truck look. The wheel comes with an optional planetary cover and axle adaptor to fit directly to the popular Traxxas Maxx vehicle and is available in white, black, yellow, and silver colours.
