Losi Ten-SCTE 4wd Short Course truck

The Losi 1/10-scale Ten-SCTE 4wd Short Course rolling chassis is unlike anything you’ve seen. With oversized 12mm anodized threaded shocks, Eclipse Short Course truck tires and lightweight black anodized aluminium chassis, the Ten-SCTE’s performance is unforgettable. Because it’s a rolling chassis, this short course truck comes out of the box pre-assembled at the factory with wheels, tires and a clear body, but without electronics allowing you ti complete the truck using the electronics of your choice.

Brian Kinwald testing the DESC410R

Team Durango are reporting that for the last month, two-time World Champion Brian Kinwald, has been testing the DESC410R. Asking Brian how he felt the testing had gone he said “After driving a few different 4wd Short Course trucks I can honestly say that the Team Durango DESC410R feels like you’re cheating! When you’re out on the track it has more steering and superior suspension capabilities over any other truck by far. I won’t name names, but many top drivers have seen it run and they all say the same thing, ‘That’s not even fair’. I have only run it for a few weeks and already I’m in love…” Thanks to Brian’s work, Durango are getting close to announcing the final launch date of this new car.

ProTek Super Pro 20 regulated DC power supply

A Main Hobbies today announced the ProTek Super Pro 20 regulated DC power supply with USB charging port and a total of three power supply outputs. This is the same as our super powerful “Pro 20” power supply, with the addition of two individual 16 Amp outputs, each individually switched, allowing you to easily operate all your equipment from one power supply eliminating the added expense and hassle of a separate distribution box. Using Switch Mode technology, the Super Pro 20 provides a higher level of efficiency and reduces the overall weight and size of the power supply compared to other systems with similar features. In addition, the smooth output current makes it ideal for any item that requires a 20A, 12V power source.

TQ Race Products adds to their presence in the Short Course market with the introduction of SX10 SC RTR. The SX10 SC factory built Pro Roller showed immediate success by finishing in 2nd Place in both Stock and Modified Classes at the 2010 ROAR Off-Road Nationals and since then, it has become a winner at tracks around the world.

After adding your own battery and charger, you will be ready to
compete at the track, in the yard or on the street.
