Newly announced from Tamiya is the Blue Metallic Limited-Edition Neo Scorcher. Mounted on to the TT-02B chassis, TT-02B the Buggy version, it uses the TT-02 on-road version as its base, adding longer suspension arms, CVA shock units and buggy bumpers to give it great off-road performance. Of course, it retains the TT-02’s excellent drivability and ease of assembly and maintenance, while motor cooling ducts and receiver case add to the model’s durability. It also includes a large wing to go with the futuristic-designed tough body, plus stickers based on the original Terra Scorcher’s livery design.
JConcepts have introduced their line of Swaggers and Pin Downs for the Short Course class. The Swagger SCT front tire has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for cornering speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability and has shown to produce ultra fast lap times while also being easier to drive than other options on the market. The front tires work best on Carpet and Astroturf tracks where the racing line requires an aggressive style front tire. The Pin Downs feature a pin spiked tread, which is directional for added performance and stability. The directional nature of the pins were positioned to allow broken-in type pins to grip the surface in one direction, while the pins are more upright when oriented in the opposite direction. The bottoms of the pins have heavy radiuses which allow the pins to wear more consistently and not tear or rip off the carcass prematurely. Both tires are designed for industry standard SCT wheels.
Following earlier teasers, Kyosho have finally introduced the new Outlaw Rampage Desert Racing Truck. Bringing a new dimension to R/C cars which incorporates real truck components in a 2WD scale truck. With a new chassis designed from the ground up, the underbody features double wishbone suspension on the front with a link system suspension on the rear in combination with the long stroke of high volume aerating oil shocks to deliver a standard of performance worthy of a 2WD trophy truck. Heavy-duty drive system realises high durability and reliability and is designed to handle high loads with its 32-pitch counter gear and diff gear with slipper clutch to manage sudden load changes from landings etc. With a power centre combination consisting of the newly developed ‘G15’ brushed motor and large capacity Vortex WP Brush ESC 45A, the dynamic performance of the Outlaw Rampage is matched by its stunning 1970-80’s trophy truck style with pre-cut and painted body with decals applied.
