Arrowmax chassis balancing tool

Coming from Arrowmax is their new-generation chassis balancing tool. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the tool allows to check and adjust left-to-right chassis balance by placing the race-ready chassis on top of the pins using the small dimples or holes found in the front and rear of most competition chassis. An imbalanced chassis will be visible by hanging to one side with optional balance weights allowing to bring the chassis in balance again. Adjusting the chassis balance will make for a more predictable car and the tool is usable with most of today’s on-road and off-road kits.

Traxxas X-Maxx heavy-duty suspension arms

Traxxas have introduced their new heavy-duty suspension arms for the X-Mass monster truck. Weighing nearly 20 pounds and packed with 30+ volts of extreme 8S power, the X-Maxx has redefined toughness for large-scale RC monster trucks. Now there’s a way to get even more brute strength out of the vehicle with new heavy-duty suspension arms made from Traxxas’ latest proprietary composite material. Traxxas designed this composite specifically for high loads and hard landings with just the right amount of flex to resist breaking – even in cold weather. Installation takes only a few minutes with no filing or modification required. The heavy-duty suspension arms work with existing Traxxas accessories, they come in six dynamic colours for full customisation and include upper and lower arms that are available separately.

Ruddog B74 & XB4 carbon fibre side guard sets

Made for the Team Associated B74 and Xray XB4 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggies are the new Ruddog carbon fibre side guard sets. The side pods are moulded from high-quality carbon fibre for a low weight and high-quality surface finish, ensuring cool looks and improved car performance as the side guards weigh in at about 17g for the B74 version and 24g for the XB4 version, which is considerably less than the standard composite plastic side pods. Being made of tough carbon fibre the side guards retain the original flex characteristics of the chassis while offering slightly increased ground clearance during cornering. Included with the side guards comes suitable mounting hardware.
