Losi Super Rock Rey 1/6 4WD RTR AVC rock racer

Losi have introduced their new Super Rock Rey 1/6th scale 4WD RTR AVC rock racer. The buggy takes its inspiration from full-scale rigs that tackle the King of Hammers and similar places others won’t dare go. Realistic solid axle performance joins 8S brushless power that pushes the needle to 50+ mph or more — while the stability of AVC technology let drivers hold nothing back through corners and jumps. The large tyres and new front end geometry increase suspension travel and improve performance over any terrain. The buggy is equipped with a 4mm aluminium chassis with injection-moulded roll cage and it comes pre-assembled and including a 750kV brushless motor and 160A speed controller. A multi-piece body shell in two designs and grippy all-terrain tires round out the package.

JConcepts Tribute wheel mock beadlock rings

JConcepts have introduced their new mock beadlock rings for the Tribute monster truck wheels. The injection moulded, 4-piece set includes details found on today’s monster trucks and can be easily adapted to existing JConcepts Tribute wheels at a low-cost. The simple part can be pressed on the outside, inner diameter shape of the wheel and left for visual purposes or light racing and track running. Racers who plan to perform heavy running, freestyle or bashing might want to opt for some flexible, adhesive goo for attachment and a more secure fit. The great part about the Tribute mock beadlocks, whether you press it in or use adhesive goo, the driver can always remove them, go for another colour combo or clean them separately from the tyre and wheel assembly. The rings are available in a variety of colours including blue, black, white, pink, green, orange, red, and silver.

Starting with the on-road engine, 3.5cc power plant features a newly designed crankcase that improves internal gas flow and produces a higher performance over the whole RPM range.

The 7-port cylinder and piston is made using special alloys to optimise lifespan and reliability of the unit. Paired with the long stroke design the Monza provides great bottom end power to suit demanding high grip on-road tracks.
