Vision Racing TLR 22 4.0 rear shock tower & shock pistons

Coming from Vision Racing are a new carbon fibre rear shock tower and shock pistons for the TLR 22 4.0 buggy. The shock tower, that is designed for the use with the laydown transmission, is made of 5mm carbon fibre and it incorporates micro tune shock positioning by adding two in between holes to the standard positions of the stock shock tower. The needed mount is made of 7075 aluminium and is anodised black. The two raised portions on the base allow clearance of the transmission case when mounting a rear swaybar kit. On today’s extreme traction tracks less suspension flex is a must. This combo will deliver a more consistent driving car while also improving jumping.

Losi Baja Rey & Rock Rey RTR BND trucks

Losi have announced the soon release of their new Baja Rey and Rock Rey 4WD 1/10th scale BND kits. The proven Baja Rey desert truck is built on one of the most advanced chassis ever conceived for a ready-to-run vehicle. It comes equipped with a Dynamite 3800Kv brushless power system, as well as a long-travel suspension, so owners can tear across all types of terrain at speeds of 70km/h or more. The chassis design blends scale realism with functional 4WD capabilities. The foundation consists of a 3mm, anodised aluminium chassis plate that is integrated with a realistic roll cage made of super-tough composite material. To this it adds a long-travel, independent front suspension and 4-link live rear axle that look and function exactly like their full-scale counterparts. The single-speed transmission, as well as the front and centre diffs, are sealed against the elements and engineered to handle the abuse of a high-output brushless motor and punishing terrain. Mod 1 gears further increase the durability of this desert beast. The long-travel shocks soak up the energy from big bumps and jumps. They also feature threaded shock bodies with adjustment collars so owners can fine tune the pre-load settings of the coil-over springs. External bump stops provide plush landings on the hardest surfaces. The Rock Rey builds on the same chassis technology but comes with a rock racer body shell and larger 2.2” x 5.8″ wheels and tyres. Both vehicles come factory-assembled and including a Spectrum SRS6000 receiver with Active Vehicle Control, meaning owners can use an existing or choose a new Spektrum DSMR transmitter to get the trucks going in no time.
