HRC Distribution have introduced the new Roapex Rhythm 1/8th buggy and Trigger 1/8th GT tyres. Both are moulded from a soft-compound rubber for exceptional traction in average track conditions. The buggy tyre features a multi-purpose knob tread especially for softer tracks while the on-road tyre sports a scale-looking tread. Both tyres are available on black or black-chrome wheels and in sets of two.
Coming from MIP is the new X-Duty centre drive kit for 12.3” wheelbase Axial SCX10 II chassis. Made out of high quality, heat treated alloy steel and black oxide coated, the centre drive kit is completely rebuildable and built to last as it replaces the standard plastic driveshafts. Designed for competition crawling or backyard bashing the kit ensures reliable and durable power transfer even with high-power motors or when the going gets tough.

Coming from Pro-Line are two new 1.9” off-road truck tyres in the form of the Class 1 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 and BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX Red Label Predator rock terrain tyres. Starting with the KM3, it is BFGoodrich’s Off-Road Maximum Traction tyre with aggressive tread lugs that bite into loose or muddy surfaces and climb over slippery rocks. Based on the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX symmetric tread design, the Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 features deep, self-cleaning independent tread blocks and linear transverse flex zones to provide the grip that you need to get over the toughest obstacles. The tyre is moulded from G8 compound and it fits most 1.9” crawler wheels.
Coming from Pro-Line are two new Bash Armor series body shells for the Stampede 4×4 and Pro-MT 4×4 as well as the Slash 2WD and 4×4. The Brute body for the Stampede and Pro-MT as well as the Monster Fusion for the Slash 2WD and 4×4 are both made of Pro-Line’s all-new Bash Armor material that is twice as thick as regular 1:10 truck bodies and ultra-flexible to reduce the chance of cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets to complete the look.

Coming from Axial is the SCX10 II raw builder’s kit that helps to easily create your fully customised trail rig. The minimalistic version of the SCX10 II allows owners to choose their own wheels, tyres, body and electronics. To help build the ultimate project, the RBK includes a full set of aluminium links for steering and suspension, WB8 HD Wildboar driveshafts, and mounting hardware to build a 11.4”, 12.0” or 12.3” wheelbase vehicle. The chassis is compatible with most 1/10th scale trail truck body shells, wheels and tyres.
The 1/24-scale 4WD ECX Barrage FPV scaler takes the Barrage legacy and expands it with the inclusion of an incredibly detailed scale body along with a front mounted FPV camera. Drivers get crystal clear video using the included 25mW camera and 4.3 inch LCD screen. From the office cubicle to the kitchen counter, the Barrage FPV tackles everyday house hold items like messy bedroom floors with ease and runs right through leaves and twigs on dirt paths. The truck is available in green or grey colour and it includes a 4.8V battery, USB charger and a 2.4GHz radio system as well as a FPV receiver screen.
