Arrma Nero 6S BLX brushless monster truck

Arrma Nero 6S BLX brushless monster truck

Arrma have introduced their all-new Nero 6S BLX brushless ready-to-run monster truck. The 513mm long vehicle builds on a tough twin vertical plate chassis made up using red anodised aluminium which is further supported by a composite plastic exoskeleton that also acts as a support for the bodyshell. The truck is powered by a 2000kv brushless motor that is coupled to the centre aluminium bulkhead that not only sits very low in the chassis but it is also easily accessible from underneath, making for swift and easy maintenance and cleaning. What makes the Nero 6S stand out is the Diff Brain technology, a system that allows to adjust the handling characteristics of the truck by using one of the four so called Beast Modes. The servo-operated system is accessible on-the-fly using the included 2.4GHz transmitter and it offers Blast, Wheelie, Drift and Climb modes, all of which feature specific front, centre and rear diff settings. Other features of the Nero 6S include front and rear laydown shock absorbers with push rods, easy access differentials, adjustable pivot ball suspension, aluminium and steel driveshafts, and pre-glued large diameter dBoots monster truck wheels. The truck is designed for the use with dual 3S LiPo batteries and it is available with a pre-painted bodyshell and in two specifications, with or without the Diff Brain unit with the letter being available optional as an easy upgrade.

TLR 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit

Team Losi Racing have introduced their all-new 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit. Purpose-designed for competition use the buggy is inspired by TLR’s 8ight 1/8th scale buggy platform and it is based on a hard-anodised 5mm 6061-T6 short wheelbase aluminium chassis. Milled pockets make for optimised flex and the lowest possible weight. The suspension package uses hard anodised 24mm shock absorbers and heavy duty aluminium shock towers. The shocks also benefit from X-rings, shock boots and TiCN shock shafts for smooth, consistent performance. The shock towers offer multiple shock mounting options that give racers an abundance of tuning options for different track conditions. Adjustable toe and anti-squat plates allow to tune the suspension geometry as known from the smaller 1/8th buggies.
