Yeah Racing have introduced a stainless steel skid plate for the centre transmission of the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. The plate is machined from high-quality material and as it interlocks with the shape of the centre gearbox only one mounting screw is needed to hold the plate in place. This allows for easy installation and removal.

Pro-Line have introduced the mounted version of their Sling Shot 4.3” Pro-Lock sand tyre for the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8th scale truck. The tyre has been developed from the ground up for extreme punishment with an all-new ultra-durable compound that prevents tyre ballooning even at high speeds. The tyre features Pro-Line’s proprietary Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to the Impulse Pro-Loc wheels while still being removable when required. The reinforced tyre bead fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The technology debuted on the Badlands MX43 Pro-Loc tyres and has proven to be extremely popular for the X-Maxx fans. The Sling Shot tyre come pre-mounted to Pro-Line’s Pro-Loc wheel that is finished off with the stone gray bead-loc ring and it comes in pairs.
