Pro-Line Decimator 2.6” solid axle MT tyre

Pro-Line have announced the release of their all-new Decimator 2.6” solid axle monster truck tyre. The Decimator is made from Pro-Line’s M3 race rubber and features a smaller overall size for more agile performance on dirt or carpet. Similar to full-size monster truck tyres the Decimator tread is made up of alternating deep-grooved chevron-style tread pattern for exceptional forward traction while maintaining a scale appearance. The overall size and width of the tyre has been finely tuned to be even more lightweight and agile than the Pro-Line Devastator 2.6” tyre, which makes it ideal for racing applications. The Decimator includes soft white foam inserts for ultra-plush landings, greatly improving the handling and performance of any solid axle monster truck.

Tekno 1/8th scale large radius spring perch set

Tekno have introduced their new 1/8th scale large radius spring perch set for their 1/8th scale vehicles. The locking shock rod end and spring perch set features an updated design to drastically increase the life of the shock boots. In this new set, the spring perch has been redesigned with a large radius at the top of the slot where the perch slips over the shock shaft, eliminating a sharp edge that could quickly damage the shock boot. Less shock boot tearing means the shocks will be more consistent between rebuilds with less dirt and dust being allowed in, which also preserves the shock shafts and O-rings. This new spring perch set features the same tall spring perch design as the previous #TKR6140B shock rod end and spring perch set and is made from the same durable composite plastic. Compatible with all Tekno RC 1/8th vehicles as well as the SCT410 and MT410.
