Designed for high speed, Axial’s soft rear swaybar set for the recently announced RR10 will allow to soften up the vehicle’s suspension for jumps, while keeping torque twist and body lean to a minimum during acceleration. The set includes all needed mounting hardware and a soft swaybar wire.
Active Hobby Products soon have a range of aluminium option parts for Tamiya’s MF01 off-road chassis available. First up is the aluminium motor mount and under guard set that includes a machined motor plate, motor guard and fan mount to improve motor cooling in high ambient temperatures and when using brushed motors. The parts also protect the lower part of the motor while allowing to attach a 30mm fan at the same time. The set is available in blue, black, red and silver anodising.
ST Racing Concepts have introduced an aluminium diff cover for the Vaterra Ascender truck as well as beadlock rings for Pro-Line crawler rims. Starting with the diff cover, the part was designed to improve the durability and add visual impact to the Ascender’s and Bronco’s front and rear axle. The high-quality CNC-machined aluminium cover is a direct replacement of the stock plastic piece and available in scale black, gun metal, or natural silver.
ST Racing Concepts have introduced a 17mm hex adapter conversion kit for the Axial Wraith and Deadbolt vehicles as well as CNC-machined aluminium links for general purpose. Starting with the conversion kit, the set was designed especially for those that are looking to mount up 1/2 inch off-set 17mm monster truck tyres from Pro-Line. The adapters widen the stance of the truck for that awesome monster truck look and they are available anodised in scale black, gun metal, monster truck green, or natural silver. Also new is a range of aluminium links, spacers and hardware to complete custom crawlers, scale rigs, or monster truck builds. The CNC-machined parts are also great for replacing some of the worn out existing pieces. Sold in pairs in various lengths the part come anodised in a wide variety of colours.
Axial have introduced the RR10 Bomber 1/10th scale rock racing chassis to their line of realistic off-road vehicles. The kit is not just another plastic tube chassis Wraith update – it merely adds to Axial’s line of 2.2 rock racing vehicles. While visually the buggy is a race replica of the Bomber Fab KOH rock racing rig, one of the unseen features is the front mounted battery tray under the hood making for easy access and optimised weight distribution. The skid plate provides a centralised location for the electronics with clean wire routing and an RR10 specific transfer case for optimal driveline efficiency. Also included is a full set of BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR2 tyres along with a spare in the back, wrapped around officially licensed Walker Evans Racing wheels. A variety of shock mounting points allows for running dual shock setups and more suspension tuning options. For additional rear suspension tuning, a sway bar mount is connected to the cage, under the fuel cell to attach an optional sway bar. Officially licensed aluminium King Shocks feature precision machined pistons which offer smooth performance throughout the range of travel. Standard features include durable front and rear WB8 HD Wildboar driveshafts, front and rear AR60 axles, a dual slipper clutch, Hi-Lo transmission with all metal internal gears, a 3-channel radio system, realistic scale details including moulded driver figures, three pairs of helmets, moulded shock reservoirs, a fuel cell, Bomber Fabrication body panels and graphics, and a fully licensed scale tube chassis.

Traxxas have introduced their all-new X-Maxx electric RTR monster truck. Starting with a white sheet of paper the X-Maxx is not just a bolstered-up E-Maxx but a totally new, and larger, design based on a modular 4WD chassis with the interlocking design keeping the motor and gear drive together as a unit to virtually eliminate gear-crunching chassis flex. Also the design provides easy access to critical components, making any needed maintenance or repairs a snap to perform. The all-new motor mount design cradles the motor so it can’t flex on the mount while gear mesh is held firmly in place by keyed pins.
RPM’s new steering knuckles for the Axial SCX10 are designed for the hardcore trailblazer that needs strength and durability to get them through the rugged backwoods without failing. The parts have been designed for strength by first beefing up the steering arm. Also the unnecessary inner tie rod hole was ditched and the amount of material around the remaining tie rod hole was increased. RPM then increased the size of the steering arm supporting ribs and increased the amount of material around the king pin bolt holes for added muscle and stability. The design also sees added clearance on the steering arm for the C-Hub retaining screw, allowing more steering throw without having to swap out to pricey C-Hubs or high-clearance steering knuckles. On top of that the slop in the king pin bolt holes was reduced by 0.13mm, improving steering accuracy and consistency.
