The steering stiffener is a direct replacement and it fits both the B6 and B6D.

Hobbywing XeRun XR10 Stock Spec – Full details

Following first teaser images and brief information, Hobbywing have now officially revealed the XeRun XR10 Stock Spec brushless speed controller. Housed in a black anodised aluminium case with incorporated heatsink the purpose-designed stock class controller is of smaller dimensions than the popular XR10 Pro 160A controller. With a footprint of 31.5×25.6mm and a weight of 28g without wires the speedo makes it easier to place it in crowded environments. Despite the smaller size the controller boasts with a lot of features such as a high-voltage 7.4V BEC system, an 80A rating and it sports a patent pending dual switch design with the internal electronic switch is backed by an additional one that attaches to the rear part of the case, making for easier handling when the car’s body is already installed or when the internal switch is hard to reach. On the software side of things the XR10 Stock Spec is packed with a special firmware that includes pre-configured stock racing profiles for on-road and off-road, it features adjustable throttle and brake PWM frequency settings and the ESC is adjustable using Hobbywing’s WiFi Express module and a mobile device and also using Hobbywing’s LCD programming box.

Pro-Line 105mm Ultra reservoir shock absorbers

Made for 1/10th crawlers and scale rigs are Pro-Line’s new Ultra reservoir shocks. They feature a fully functioning reservoir with a realistic divider piston and set screw for adjusting the shock rebound. The aluminium shock cap, shock body, reservoir, bottom caps, spring perch, shock end and steel shock shaft have all been CNC machined to exacting tolerances to achieve the highest quality shock imaginable and have been designed with scale realism in mind. X-Ring seals are used for both the main shaft seal and the divider piston for the smoothest and lowest friction seal possible for these 9mm bore shocks. From the top mounting hole to the bottom mounting hole the Ultra reservoir shocks measure out to be 105mm at full extended length and collapse down to 75mm for a full 30mm of shock travel. Just like Pro-Line’s popular PowerStroke shocks, the Ultra reservoir shocks feature dual rate Springs but these shocks come with an extra collar to adjust exactly where the dual rate springs transitions to single rate, similar to full scale shocks. Smaller hole pistons are also included for added tuning options. The Ultra reservoir shocks come mostly pre-built and do require oil to be installed by the user.

Pro-Line Trifecta Lite 1/8th buggy rear wing

Pro-Line’s popular Trifecta 1/8th polycarbonate rear wing is soon also available in a Lite variant. The second generation wing was on show at the recent IFMAR 1/8th Gas Buggy Worlds and it is both lighter and stronger thanks to an innovative bent wicker that eliminates the need for heavy add on pieces and hardware. The three cut lines on the back of the wing are actually bend lines that have been designed to allow for easy bending of the Lexan to create a solid 1-piece wicker. This makes the back of the wing super strong while still allowing for wing flex in the event of a crash, which prevents the wing from shattering. Just like the original Trifecta, the Lite features three dimples that hang down on each side of the wing creating the golf ball aerodynamic effect that reduces drag at high speeds without affecting down force. The wing also includes the centre fin that adds more side stability to the car and increases the strength of the wing around the mounting holes. The Trifecta Lite comes pre-cut, so there is just the wicker height to be decided before mounting it to the car.

Pro-Line 1/8 ElectroShot & 1/10 Positron tyres

Pro-Line have introduced the new ElectroShot 1/8th buggy and Positron 1/10th 2.2″ buggy rear tyres. Starting with the 1/8th scale offering, the ElectroShot made a first public appearance at this year’s IFMAR 1/8th Gas Buggy World Championships in Las Vegas. Coming from the mind of Ty Tessmann and designed to perform just like a HoleShot 2.0 while lasting significantly longer, the ElectroShot is combination of Pro-Line’s Electron and HoleShot tread designs with connected bars in the center where the heaviest tyre wear occurs. Connected bar-type tyres like Pro-Line’s new Positron have become the new standard for 1/10th buggy race tyres but pins are still the king of the 1:8 Off-Road. The ElectroShot begins to bridge that gap and test the waters with a hybrid Bar and Pin tyre. The ElectroShot will become available in a range of compounds including X2, X3, M3 and M4 and it includes blue closed cell inserts.
