Traxxas Stampede 4×4 unassembled kit

Traxxas are known for their performance ready-to-run vehicles but now also step up their game in the kit sector with the introduction of the Stampede 4×4 unassembled kit. The Stampede 4×4 Kit is designed Traxxas Tough to handle all the 4-wheel drive monster mayhem owners can dish out. Its tall ground clearance and long-arm suspension make Stampede 4×4 feel unstoppable and it combines all the mud-slinging fun of the RTR Stampede with the excitement of building your own truck. Offered as a true roller chassis, the Stampede 4×4 kit allows build-it-yourself freedom to add your choice of motor, ESC, servo, and radio system. All the parts are organised neatly in labeled bags with a fully illustrated colour manual to make building rewarding and fun. The Stampede 4×4 Kit is perfect for drivers of almost any age or skill level and it comes including a clear truck body shell, allowing to create own paint ideas.

Avid Aura Revolution ball bearings

Avid have introduced their new Aura Revolution line of oiled, tight tolerances steel ball bearings. Categorised as a budget-minded performance bearing and because it is oiled and has slightly higher tolerances than Avis’s greased Halo line, the bearing will perform almost as well as the compnany’s high-end Aura Ceramics but at more than half the cost. It is designed for the highly competitive racer that wants to have an edge but does so much racing that spending the money on the Aura Ceramic’s isn’t always practical. The bearing comes in Avid’s Revolution seal, which is a rubber seal on one side and metal on the other and they are made with Chromium Steel races because the surface finish is smoother than other materials such as Stainless Steel. This results in less noise and better performance. The bearings are now available in Avid’s famous FlexKit software, allowing to build customised packs for nearly every application.

Xray XB2 DIV front wing

Coming from Xray and made for their XB2 series of buggies is the DIV front wing. Moulded from high-quality Lexan material the wing is of a multi-purpose design, allowing to mount it in front or behind the front tower and thus front axles, with the mounting positions having an influence on weight distribution, centre of gravity as well as downforce. Pre-marked dimples help with easy and straight attachment while different gurney heights help to fine-tune aerodynamics.
