Axial SMT10 Grave Digger Monster Jam RTR truck

Axial have introduced their all new SMT10 Grave Digger Monster Jam 1/10th scale 4WD ready-to-run straight-axle truck. Resembling the iconic Grave Digger full-scale truck, the 1/10th kit was developed for maximum strength and an extremely detailed appearance. The chassis offers many pivot points for suspension tuning while realism and strength are achieved through triangulation of the chassis tubes, making it ready for maximum attack and hardcore Monster Truck bashing. Part of the package are also the AR60 OCP-Axles that are constructed from high strength composite material which has a low flex rate but is not as brittle as standard glass filled nylon. The combination of these axles and a true 4-link suspension gives optimal performance for any terrain with the look of a real full-scale vehicle.

Yeah Racing 90mm Desert Lizard crawler shocks

Yeah Racing have introduced the Desert Lizard 90mm dual stage internal spring shock absorbers for 1/10th scale crawlers. Utilising aluminium bodies the shocks also feature triple seal cartridges and dual stage internal springs that allow to build either a droop or sprung setup. The latter will create a rig which will generate a lot of flex and more suspension travel while with the droop setup, the rig will sit lower and because of a spring under the piston, will be less prone to rolling over but will generate less flex. The shocks come in sets of two, including different springs and damper pistons and in a range of colours including red, orange, green, gun metal and black.

X Factory Infinity carbon idler gear shafts

Coming from X Factory’s Infinity range of option parts are carbon idler gear shafts. They solve the problem of early transmission failures in modern 2WD buggies that are the result of the idler gear wobbling on the gear shaft as the latter is a tad too small in diameter to allow for easier assembly. X Factory’s carbon idler gear shafts are exactly 5mm in diameter, making for a press fit of the bearing on the shaft, resulting in an ultra-precise gear location and longer gear life. The shaft is available in a TLR 22-series and a Team Associated B6/5-series variant as a single item and without the gear and bearings you can see above.

Schelle B6-series carbon fibre battery strap

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced their new carbon fibre battery strap for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. The brace is of a rigid, secure, and minimalist design with the strap holds down the perimeter of the LiPo pack while allowing clearance for the plugs and also of the positive and negative terminal markings on the case. The pack is held in place by 3D-printed 7mm hex battery stops which are easy to install with a 7mm wheel wrench. Stainless steel screws are included, but racers can upgrade to aluminium or titanium to shave weight. Lastly the construction allows to pivot the hex posts and run the battery pack in-line for a more quick handling setup.

Scorpion RR-3420 ROAR-spec 10.5T brushless motor

Scorpion have introduced their all-new RR-3420 brushless motor. Designed to meet ROAR specifications the motor features an 7075 aluminium case with heatsink design and several cooling openings that also allow to check the stator specifications. Furthermore the motor utilises high-temperature magnets and high-purity copper wires for minimal internal resistance. The stator material is high-grade silicon steel and a built-in cooling fan reduces the internal temperatures while a patented screw-type rotor surface increases flux density and maximises cooling. The motor is currently available as 10.5T variant and should get ROAR approval soon.
