JConcepts Tribute wheel aluminium planetary caps

JConcepts make it easy to add some luster to the Tribute wheels with the machined aluminium and black anodised planetary caps. The JConcepts wheels include plastic caps which are always the same colour of the wheels. The aluminium options are now available with the same details but sport the most popular colour and finish for the true RC monster truck fanatic. The caps feature a stepped design with detail on each level to match even the most scale and realistic parts available. The 6-hole bolt pattern fits like a glove between the geometry and the cap fastens to the wheels using the stock hardware from the Tribute wheels package.

Pro-Line Badlands MX43 tyres & Impulse Pro-Loc wheels

Pro-Line have introduced the Badlands MX43 Pro-Loc tyre and Impulse Pro-Loc wheels for the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. Starting with the tyre, it features a motocross inspired tread and it is made using an all-new ultra-durable compound that prevents tyre ballooning even at high speeds. Furthermore the tyre features Pro-Line’s Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to the new Impulse Pro-Loc X-Maxx wheels while still being removable when required. The reinforced tire bead fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The true all-terrain tyre will find traction on any surface but is best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass.

Starting with the body shell, the meticulous replica of the original truck features its heavily chiseled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells and a recessed body line that extends down the entire side of the standard cab body. The included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim of yesteryear. It also sports that famous wrap-around front windshield, the recessed side windows are outlined and the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look. On top of this the front headlights, grille, taillights and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. Included in the package are also a separate front and rear bumper which can be attached with included hardware for the ultimate show and shine ride. The 11″ wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to standard or extended length chassis while the flat bed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customised with bed cover look.
