Reedy Competition exhaust system

Reedy’s new 2035 and 2039 mufflers feature a 3-chamber design for a linear power band and exceptional all-around performance. A reinforced stinger and hard-anodized finish increase durability, while a single-piece pressure nipple is positioned for maximum body clearance and to lessen the chance of the pressure line being knocked off in crash. The 2035 muffler is incredibly powerful on the bottom end with good straight-line speed. On the other hand, the 2039 muffler is softer on the low end than the 2035, but is capable of more RPM and higher top speeds. A hard-anodized header designed specifically for use with these mufflers is also available.

AKA Pre-mounts on Pro-5 wheel

AKA have announced the release of pre-mounted tires on their Pro-5 wheel specifically aimed at the Short Course market. They have chosen the Cityblock and Crossbrace as their first release on these wheels, which in the Super Soft compound yielded the best results in a variety of conditions during our testing. These Pro-5 pre-mounts also utilize AKA’s innovative and often imitated ground, closed cell inserts for the ultimate in durability and performance. These are a great add-on to sell with their Short Course adapter sets for the Slash and the Associated SC10.

Durango shows of the DNX408’s rear end

Durango continue to tease us with close up shots of their prototype DNX408 1/8th scale buggy. The car’s rear-end design is all about low weight, keeping weight forward, putting the wing over the rear wheels and giving the most ground clearance. The 408 claims to ‘probably be the lightest car on the market’, which is thanks to many design considerations such as the minimalistic gearbox case, slender but tough bulkheads and the smallest rear overhang of any car.

Pro-Line Silverado, 14RS, Suburbs front & more

Judging by their January releases Pro-Line have been busy with a whole host of new bodies, tires and wheels being announced. Starting with the new Chevy Silverado Short course truck body, perfect for Chevy race fans to deck out their Slash or SC10 chassis’. Also for the same SC cars, is this 14RS shell, which resembles more a Dakar style race truck than your traditional Short course race truck. Both bodies are sold clear and supplied with window mask and decal sheets. Bringing colour to your racing, PL now offer their range of Split six wheels in 2 additional colours, white and yellow, in addition to the already available black versions. To follow up on the release of their Suburbs pattern for rear tires mid last year, you can now get the same pattern for us on the front of your 4wd buggy. Available in M3, MX and MC compounds. To final releases from Pro Line are their new Volkswagen Baja bug body for the 1/16th E-Revo and the Chevy Blazer for 1/18th crawlers.

Along with the photos they have also released the car’s feature list together with the public buying price, which they expect to be US$699 or 457 Euros or 417 UK pounds, minus sales taxes. Not a bad price considering the spec of the car out-of-the-box, which features alloy suspension holders, alloy bulkheads, 5mm shock towers and a 5mm chassis all of which are hard anodised, plus black/gold alloy CNC machined engine mount and a lightened transmission.

Team Azarashi Fettera shell for DEX410

New for the Durango DEX410 from Team Azarashi is this new body shell called the Fettera. Still in the prototype phase, this shell is the result of extensive track testing which has resulted in its unique aerodynamic performance. Very stable, the creative design of the new undertray helps with this, while extra space around the electronics and cooling holes help keep their operating temperature low. Expect a March release date.
