Axial SCX10 II 1969 Chevrolet Blazer RTR

Axial’s latest incarnation of the popular SCX10 II trail truck is the 1969 Chevrolet Blazer RTR. The kit is decked out with a scale-looking Blazer body for a macho apperance while additional items like chrome-coated grille, mirrors and door handles are also included. Officially licensed Chassis Unlimited front and rear tube bumpers are mounted tight to the body for maximum clearance and a set of offroad lights – with LEDs – shine some light when the action goes dark. To keep the Blazer rolling along in even the toughest situations, Axial mounted it on their rugged SCX10 II chassis. High-clearance AR44 high-pinion axles, a chassis mounted servo, re-designed AX10 transmission case and tough steel suspension links are just a few of the parts that make the Blazer a beast on any terrain. The kit is rounded out by 1.9” Method Hole rims and 1.9” Falken Wild Peak M/T tyres.

TLR 5ive-T/B electric conversion kit

Horizon Hobby have introduced the TLR 5ive-T and 5ive-B electric conversion kit. The conversion makes it possible to change the 1/5-scale gas powered TLR 5ive-B buggy or Losi 5ive-T truck into an electric-powered rig. No special tools are required to complete the conversion, the kit parts mount into the existing holes already in the frame and chassis. A carbon-fibre radio tray included can be configured to run single, dual or HS-1000/1005 servos and also included is a mount for an optional mechanical brake servo. The new dual sided servo saver arm provided delivers the precision of a push/pull steering setup and it is made from aluminium for the long lasting durability this monster demands. New adjustable battery trays are made from machined carbon-fibre plate and can accommodate batteries up to 163mm in length so owners can take advantage of multiple battery configurations, including some of the higher capacity XL LiPo packs. Also included is a new motor mount designed to fit most 58mm motors. The motor mount uses the original front engine mounting location with new motor mount slugs designed for use with the electric conversion. ESC mount is elevated to create space on the chassis and get more natural airflow from the body.

Gmade BOM 1/10th 4WD trail truck

Gmade have released first information and images of their forthcoming BOM 1/10th scale 4WD trail truck. The kit builds on a scale-looking ladder frame constriction with stand-up front shock and laydown rear dampers that make way for the scale roll cage construction. The steering servo is located in the front part of the chassis and the steering assembly is of a zero-Ackermann design for maximised steering performance. Angled front king pins minimise the scrub radius for further increased steering efficiency. The heavy-duty threaded aluminium shock absorbers utilise 3.5mm shock shafts and the transmission, with all-metal internal gears, is of a torque twist reducing design. Optionally a 2-speed hi/lo transmission conversion will become available to add speed when needed. The kit is rounded out by grippy tyres, a cool looking body shell a couple of scale accessories.

JConcepts Truth 2 UTV Slash 2WD/4×4 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made to outfit the Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4×4 short course trucks is the Truth 2 UTV body shell. The new shell draws an inspiration from Glamis, California, where peace of mind, relaxation and all-out performance pack the dunes each weekend. The T2 body was started as a clean slate design and sculpted with high-impact features, detailed front fascia and large angular wheel wells. The rigid design fits right into the line-up as the body shares styling cues from key family designs such as the Finnisher line of off-road racing bodies. The large surface roof and cage are profiled to ensure proper integration with the popular Slash and Slash 4×4 chassis. Inside clearance has been maximised for a vast assortment of inner features any customer might have installed. The body comes clear and including large footprint window masks and a detailed decal sheet.

RPM E-Rustler green rear bumper

Coming from RPM and made for the Traxxas E-Rustler is a green rear bumper kit. The bumper is designed to protect the rear of the chassis, the motor and the body, all while still allowing the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Additionally, if the owner decides to run without the wheelie bar, the rear bumper is so versatile, it’ll adapt and allow either configuration. The part is made of green heavy duty nylon and requires an optional Traxxas or RPM bumper mount to install. The assembly works with most known Traxxas Rustler bodies, however aftermarket or non-standard bodies may require trimming for proper fit.
