Pro-Line Slash 2WD Pro-Arms suspension arm sets

Made for the popular Traxxas Slash 2WD short course trucks are Pro-Line’s new Pro-Arms front and rear suspension arm sets. Available separately for the front and rear of the truck, the sets include cutting edge race-style black arms with smooth bottoms that are capped off with stone-gray stiffening plates resulting in extremely durable arms. The arm plates are held on by multiple flat head screws and the stone-gray color can be dyed or painted to match the truck’s style. The Pro-Arms are direct replacements for the stock Slash 2WD arms and are designed from the ground up to be nearly indestructible. They are also cored out from the top to save weight and the arm plates keep out dirt, mud, and debris. The US-made arm sets are available from now on.

The popular well-known truck body style dominated the desert racing scene in the mid to late 1980’s and was driven by off-road legend Walker Evans making it the ultimate dream truck to many race fans. The body includes fully licensed Dodge grill, headlight and taillight decals to complete the look and it fits most of today’s 1/10th 2WD and 4WD short course trucks, however some DIY might be needed to fit certain chassis.

By sitting the battery lower the truck gets a lower centre of gravity which helps the rig deal with off camber sections better and reduces the chance of rolling over. The battery retention system is changed to using hook and loop straps and with the integrated braces it keeps all sorts of sizes of 3S batteries in place no matter the thickness.

Bezerk B6.1 battery hook system

Bezerk RC have announced the release of a new option part for the Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy in the form of a battery hook system. Made from glossy 2.5mm carbon fibre, these hooks offer secure fore and aft adjustment of the LiPo shorty battery pack. Unlike slotted systems that can slide forward in a crash, these stay secure with a range of different positions including flipping them over to get the full range of adjustment. An O-ring holds the pack in place secure enough to keep it in place but also flexible enough to allow for the chassis to flex underneath. The O-ring hooks are centrally located to the battery hooks, so the retaining ring is always centrally located to the battery pack.
