Coming from Samix and made for the MST CFX-W trail truck are aluminium portal axle covers.

JConcepts have released an 8-piece set of rubber bump stops for the suspension of monster trucks. In the world of RC monster trucks, its all about suspension travel. Drivers jockey for improved suspension with unique setups, conversions and shock combinations. The position of the shocks have a huge affect on performance and while more travel can help, sometimes a cushion or soft stop at the end can really smooth out the ride. JConcepts now offers a rubber bump stop which works with any combination of 3 and 3.5mm shock shaft diameters. The stop is T-shaped in design which allows the builder to place the large diameter end where more support is needed. With a solid axle beast, sometimes it is necessary to limit the up-stroke of the shock to prevent chassis, body or tyre damage. The shape also allows cushion and some fold under high impact situations as an additional benefit. The stops are 10mm in length but can be trimmed to any desired length or to suit a specific purpose. 8 pieces are included per package which is handy for outfitting multiple trucks or one truck with additional shocks.
Team Magic’s E6 Raptor 1/8th brushless ready-to-run monster truck is now also available in a special green edition. The truck features an updated 4WD drivetrain with CNC-machined bevel gears, a metal centre gear diff, four hardened steel universal driveshafts and large aluminium splined wheel hubs. The chassis comes factory-assembled with a new 6S LiPo-compatible 2250kV brushless motor, a Hobbywing 150A speed controller and a Savöx metal gear steering servo. The kit is rounded out by a black and white body shell with green details as well as green beadlock rings for the multi-terrain tyres.
