Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited RTR trail buggy

Horizon Hobby have announced the soon release of the new Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited ready-to-run trail buggy. It builds on the Capra 1.9 Unlimited Builders Kit and is a “new from the ground up” design. Its Currie F9 portal axles provide extra ground clearance at the diff pumpkin for the best crawling performance. With the included Spektrum STX3 3-channel transmitter and DIG transmission, drivers can also switch on the fly between 4WD and FWD — locking the rear axle whenever in need of the tighter turning radius of front drive power. The Capra features a realistic tube chassis design and metal gears everywhere, from the centre transmission to the lockers and portal axles. It rides on real-world inspired Nitto Trail Grappler 1.9 tyres mounted to licensed Raceline 3-piece moulded beadlock wheels. The truck comes factory assembled and including a 540-size 35T brushed motor and Dynamite AE-5L brushed ESC.

Kyosho Ultima RB7 brass balance weights

Kyosho have announced the soon release of two new balance weights for the Ultima RB7 buggies. First up is the 28g LDW rear weight that was designed to be mounted under the lowdown gearbox of the RB7 and RB7SS kits. Using the part will shift the weight balance toward the rear, increasing rear traction when running in low to high-grip track conditions. Also coming soon is the 32g battery weight that will slide under the battery, upping the overall weight when using standard or LCG shorty battery packs. The higher weight comes in handy in a variety of track conditions as it can calm down the ride over bumpy parts of a track while countering traction rolling on high-bite surfaces. The weight comes laser-engraved for easy identification and it is usable with both the RB7 and RB7SS.
