Yeah Racing TRX-4 stainless steel centre driveshafts

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Traxxas’ TRX-4 trail truck is a stainless steel front and rear centre driveshaft set. The upgrade is meant for modellers who like to run their vehicle on extreme terrain as the stainless steel construction does away with the chance of plastic driveshafts snapping. The design features a locking ring which provides extra durability and also introduces the possibility of replacing the ring when it’s worn out. The construction also results in a much more scale representation of real life driveshafts found in these types of trucks. The set includes front and rear centre shafts and it is available in red or black colour.

LaTrax Desert Prerunner 1/18th 4WD racing truck

Traxxas have introduced the new LaTrax Desert Prerunner 1/18th scale 4WD racing truck. In full-scale motorsport, drivers first get a feel for the course in a prerunner. Prerunners are street-legal monsters with huge suspension travel, fortified drivetrains, and massive power. A prerunner must be built strong enough to tackle the toughest courses, while still being manageable on the street. The LaTrax Desert Prerunner packs these race-bred features into a convenient, take-anywhere, 1/18th scale size. Like full-size vehicles, the LaTrax Prerunner is built to be fast and nimble while being extremely durable and able to withstand the rigours of all-terrain racing action. Equipped with a powerful motor, independent suspension, and 4-wheel drive, the Prerunner is Ready-To-Race right out of the box. The all-weather electronics defeat the elements—driving through mud, snow, and water. Oil-filled shocks soak up the bumps and jumps, and provide smooth suspension movement over any terrain. The set is rounded out by an iD-equipped 7.2V NiMH battery pack and an AC wall charger.
