Xray XB2 gearbox height adjustment plates

Xray have introduced new carbon fibre gearbox height adjustment plates for the XB2 series of buggies. Machined from 2mm carbon fibre the plates are available in two designs, a T-shaped spacer to raise both the gearbox and rear suspension mounts by the same amount and also a smaller plate that only raises the gearbox. An optional -2mm aluminium motor plate will ensure the motor sits as low as possible, ensuring a low overall centre of gravity. Raising the gearbox, or lowering the chassis, will ensure optimised driveshaft angles, a lower centre of gravity and thus less rolling in corners in high to very high bite conditions. All parts are available separately to help create the desired setup.

Coming from Pro-Line and made for the Traxxas X-Maxx are the new Pro-Arms upper and lower arm kit as well as the Pro-Hubs rear uprights. Starting with the arm kit, the US-made kit includes cutting edge race-style black arms with smooth bottoms that are capped off with stone gray stiffening plates resulting in extremely durable and rigid arms. The arm plates are held on by multiple flat head screws and the stone gray colour is the exact same as Pro-Line’s Impulse Pro-Loc wheel rings so they can be dyed or painted to match the truck’s style. The Pro-Arms are direct replacements for the stock X-MAXX arms and are designed from the ground up to be nearly indestructible. Each arm kit includes a set of two upper and lower arms along with the stone gray plates and hardware. The Pro-Arms are cored out from the top to save weight and the arm plates keep dirt, mud and debris out of the arms.

Pro-Line 2.8”LP stadium truck tyres

Coming for trucks such as the Traxxas Rustler 2WD or 4×4 are three new specialised 2.8” tyres from Pro-Line. Starting with the Trencher LP 2.8” all-terrain tyre, the tread is ideal when running in loose or hard-packed dirt, sand, snow, street or gravel conditions. The Trencher LP 2.8” is a direct replacement tyre and will fit on any 2.8” wheels including all of Pro-Line’s 2.8” wheel options. The Trencher tread was designed to have ultimate traction combined with long-lasting durability. Each tyre lug is shaped to dig into whatever surface modellers are running on and is ultra-thick so that it is extremely durable. Next up is the Sand Paw LP 2.8” tyre. There is nothing like the rush of ripping through the sand dunes or shredding the fresh powdery snow with a high-powered truck. Usual tyres will just slip around in the sand and snow, but the Sand Paw LP tyre will grip, rip and roost. The 2.8” tyre will fit most 2.8” wheels. Last but not least comes the Street Fighter LP 2.8” tyre that has the perfect balance of G force enhancement and style that will keep the truck turning heads. The Street Fighter LP 2.8” is a direct replacement tyre and will fit on any 2.8” wheels including all of Pro-Line’s 2.8” wheel options.
