Coming from Samix and made for Traxxas’ TRX-4 trail truck is a brass lower shock and suspension link mount set. The parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they are black coated to avoid oxidation and improve overall looks. The mounts add 45g of weight to the axles for improved climb performance while making for increased durability at the same time. The set includes four mounts and it will hit stores very soon.
Samix have introduced a brass knuckle set for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Machined from high-quality material and coming black coated for wear and looks, the knuckles weigh in at 51g per side, meaning they will add a whooping 102g per set to one of the lowest areas of the truck. The added weight will greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while shifting weight to the front of the truck for improved climb performance. The knuckles are a drop fit and work with the standard Traxxas parts as well as the respective Samix TRX-4 optionals.
Based off of the Traxxas TRX-4 1/10th 4WD trail truck chassis comes the new Tactical Unit, a rapid-response vehicle designed to charge into practically any situation, emerging unscathed and ready for the next adventure. From broken concrete and back-alley climbing, to mud, rocks, and streams, the all-terrain vehicle conquers it all as it shares the innovative features and capability of the TRX-4 scale and trail crawler, but includes a rugged, lightweight tactical body for increased agility. Included in the package are the pre-painted ProGraphix Night Camo body, a waterproof XL-5 HV speed controller, metal gear steering servo, and a TQi 2.4GHZ radio system.

The body is a direct fit, it comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.
Coming from Samix and made for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck are brass spring retainers. They are machined from high-quality material, come with a black surface coating for wear and looks and their closed design ensures they will not fall off even when the going gets tough. The spring cups weigh in at 25g and thus they add weight to one of the lowest parts of the chassis for improved climb performance. The set includes four direct-fit spring retainers.
Coming from RPM and made for the Losi Baja Rey truck are a front bumper and skid plate set. With the original Losi front skid plate being too stiff, preventing the bumper from absorbing impacts, RPM have designed an all-new assembly by moving the entire skid plate from between the chassis plate and differential to below the aluminium chassis plate. This move solved a couple of problems, it offers additional chassis protection while also creating a flex zone on the skid plate that would allow more movement of the bumper in impact situations, ultimately saving from costly repairs. The bumper was redesigned as well, strengthening the mount between the skid plate and bumper, yet also creating another flex zone that allows the bumper to compress under extreme impacts, yet return back to its original shape once the impact energy has dissipated, ultimately protecting the more fragile areas of the truck such as the front differential and chassis plate since the bumper now absorbs the impact instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. The bumper and skid plate are moulded from RPM’s renown nylon composite and the set will hit stores soon.
