Kyosho MP10 heavy duty front arms

Available soon are new heavy duty front lower arms for Kyosho’s MP10 buggy. Sturdier than the stock arms due to additional ribbing, the heavy duty variants will come in handy when the going gets tough or when running in higher ambient temperatures or traction conditions where the arms can increase steering precision. Included come a left and a right hand arm and the sets are available in hard and soft variants to further fine-tune the front end feel.

Ruddog RP541 540 sensored brushless motor

Ruddog Distribution from Germany have announced the release of their all-new RP541 540-size sensored high-performance brushless motor. Designed and engineered in Germany the motor utilises a completely new design with a lightweight aluminium can ensuring a low weight of only around 153g while the new slotless stack design ensures increased performance and efficiency due to the lack of performance-killing milling for the long motor can mounting screws. This was made possible by using a new can design with a 1-piece front section and a short rear can that uses vertical mounting screws. Also new for the RP541 is a machined collector ring that comes silver-plated for the modified variants while the stock motor specific ring is gold-plated for an even lower internal resistance. Other differences between the stock and modified motors include performance enhancing ceramic ball races for the stock motor while the modified motor is equipped with high-qualify steel ball bearings. Part of the package are also optimised magnets that are able to withstand higher temperatures for longer, ensuring less power fading during a run while increasing overall durability. The magnets are also optimised for the RP541’s new slotless stack design. The motors are rounded out by new low-resistance solder tabs and a flat 150mm sensor wire and they are available as 4.5T to 9.5T modified, 6.5T 1S 1/12th scale modified as well as 10.5T to 21.5T stock variants.

Pro-Line big bore scaler shock absorbers

Coming from Pro-Line and made for many popular crawler vehicles are the new big bore scale shock absorbers. The large, nearly 11mm, bore allows the big bore shocks to function correctly as true performance shocks due to the larger oil volume in the shock body. The shocks feature CNC machined aluminium shock caps, collars, bodies,bottom caps, and hard chrome coated steel shock shafts all made to exacting tolerances. X-ring seals are used as the main shaft seal for smooth, low friction action and to prevent leaks. The shocks are meant to stand out from the crowd with chrome and black anodising and a large P-L logo engraved into the shock cap that will look good on any rig. Pro-Line also engineered an all-new dual-rate spring design made from a single spring that saves space and has incredible scale looks and performance. Optional softer and firmer dual-rate springs are available. The lower spring perch is captured, so drivers always know it will stay where it belongs during your adventures. From the top mounting hole to the bottom mounting hole, these Big Bore Scaler Shocks measure out to be 90mm at full extended length and collapse down to about 64mm – when the rubber bump stop is removed – and they include extra 5mm longer shock ends to increase the shock length. Just like Pro-Line’s Pro-Spec scaler shocks, the big bores come mostly pre-built – without oil – and are designed to fit many popular crawler vehicles.

Pro-Line Badlands MX38 HP 3.8” belted MT tyres

Coming soon from Pro-Line is their new pre-mounted Badlands MX38 HP 3.8” all-terrain belted monster truck tyre. The Badlands tyres are known for having a sweet Motocross inspired tread and the all-new Badlands MX38 HP tires kick that up a notch with Bigger and Bolder knobby tread. The true all-terrain tyre will find traction on any surface but is best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass. The high-performance herringbone weave pattern belt inside of the tyres will prevent it from ballooning or expanding during use. This will give maximum control to put the power down even at high speeds. The tyre comes in Pro-Line’s renown M2 compound and it is 3.48” wide and 6.8” tall, making it ideal for the latest generation of monster trucks and it is pre-mounted on the next generation 3.8” wheel design from Pro-Line, the Raid 3.8” removable hex wheel.
