Pro-Line roll out new X-Maxx & monster truck options

Coming soon from Pro-Line are new option parts for the Traxxas X-Maxx as well as other monster trucks. First up is the Ultra reservoir shock cap tailor-made for the Traxxas X-Maxx truck. It fits directly onto the stock X-Maxx shocks and transform them into fully functional reservoir shocks. The additional reservoir provides more oil volume which results in cooler shock temps and improved shock consistency. The reservoir piston compensates for the volume of the shock shaft delivering plush performance over small bumps and large jumps just like full-scale shocks. The included shock cap, reservoir, piston and bottom cap have all been CNC machined out of high-grade aluminium to exacting specifications to meet the demands of the enormous X-Maxx. The included O-rings provide perfect sealing and Delrin upper pivot balls are included for optimum performance.

Pinisch & Hönigl win at Austrian 1/10th Buggy Nats Rd1

Round 1 of the Austrian 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held at the MRC Oberaich track.
