Element RC Enduro Ecto trail truck RTR

Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR from Element RC is packed full of performance features that are sure to impress. Featuring the Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKSTM), the GKSTM package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro Ecto more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether they’re moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Whilst fans are made to a certain thickness for less weight at a high point, it may make mounting difficult. With the aluminium base the surface area is increased making it easier to adhere. It comes in three different colours for you to choose from, black, blue & red.

JConcepts Axial SCX24 bodies

JConcepts have released a trio of new bodyshells for the Axial SCX24 starting with this 1970’s Chevy K10. The 1970 shell is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to simpler times when a hard day’s work was a bedful of goodness. For the 1970, a lot of the glamour rested in the front grille and headlight package as well as the layered and sculpted rear tail gate and taillight section. These details are found on the included decal sheet along with many emblems and trim packages to complete your body in several popular looks from that generation. A chiseled front-end is gently swept back from the centre. Fenders wells are round with raised edging making them ideal for several different 1/24th scale tires on the market.

Creation Model to enter the FWD class

Infinity’s official Facebook page have dropped the not so subtle hint of their upcoming entry into the FWD class. Simply mentioning that the new project as ‘Project number: 009’ as you can see in the photo the car is a 1/10th FWD chassis, which makes sense as many of the parts can be carried over from the IF14 project and the class is the getting more popular due to its more scale looks and unique driving challenges. More information as we get it.
