Available now from 1up Racing is their gold anti-wear and blue O-ring grease in XL jars. The anti-wear grease is a race-proven blend of two synthetic base lubricants help that help the lube to adhere to metal surfaces offering unparalleled protection and impact absorption. It can be used on driveshafts and also makes a nice cushion on cross pins of belt pulley adapters where it can make for less wobbling and a smoother working drivetrain.
Coming from Pro-Line are four new pre-mounted 1/10th short course tyres on the Raid removable hex 2.2”/3.0” wheel. The range will include the Badlands SC, Trencher X SC, Sling Shot SC and Street Fighter SC tyres all of which come mounted on the new Raid removable hex wheel that allows to easily change the offset of the wheel to fit different applications by simply changing out the hex. The wheels include a pair of 12mm Slash 4×4 front/rear and Slash 2WD rear hexes as well as a pair of 12mm Slash 2WD front hexes that fit the most popular trucks. Optional 14mm, 17mm and ProTrac offset 12mm hexes are available separately to fit other applications. The pre-mounted tyres come as pair and including closed cell inserts.
Pro-Line have introduced their new pre-cut and pre-painted 1967 Ford F-100 Heatwave Edition body shell for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer. The body allows UDR owners to build a fully licensed replica of the popular full-size Heatwave Trophy Truck driven by Chris Isenhouer. The massive black and gold Heatwave decal wrap is also included and pre-cut for easy installation. The body features the iconic flat front F-100 grill and wide fender flares to represent the aggressive fiberglass bulges found on Chris’ full-size race truck. Pro-Line’s 1967 F-100 Heatwave Edition body mounts directly to the cage on the UDR in the same locations as the stock body, so all owners need to do is remove the outer film, place the wrap following the included instructions, and install the body just like they would the stock body.
Pro-Line have introduced their all-new Supersonic speed run body shell for the Traxxas Slash 4×4. There is a whole community built around pushing the limits of speed with the Slash 4×4 – and other SC-based trucks – and the Supersonic body will help owners jump right in. Belted tyres are a must for going fast and the Pro-Line Reaction HP SC tyres and even the Avenger HP 1/8th scale tyres pair perfectly with the Supersonic body. With the Pro-Line extended body mounts the body can be slammed as low as possible and optional wide offset hexes add even more high-speed stability to the build while filling out the wheel wells. The body comes clear, including window masks and a large decal sheet.
Made for the Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4×4 short course trucks are Pro-Line’s new Raid 2.2”/3.0” removable hex wheels. The wheels feature a new 6×30 removable hex system and include a pair of 12mm Slash 4×4 Front/Rear (Slash 2W rear) hexes and a pair of 12mm Slash 2WD front hexes that fit the most popular trucks. Optional 14mm, 17mm and ProTrac offset 12mm hexes are available separately to fit the driver’s exact application. If the wheel hex ever gets damaged, it can easily be replaced without needing to replace the glued tyres. The Raid wheels feature a detailed 10-spoke design that recreates the latest in high-performance full-size forged racing wheels with the strength and durability to match the bold look. Moulded-in bead-loc detail only adds to the realism.
Pro-Line have introduced their all-new pre-cut 1967 Ford F-100 race truck body for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer. The 1967 Ford F-100 is a classic vintage truck that has recently become a popular platform for building full-size pre-runners. Now Pro-Line brings the nostalgic and majestic body lines of the 1967 Ford F-100 to the UDR for the ultimate in scale realism. The body features the iconic flat front grill and wide fender flares to represent the aggressive fiberglass bulges found on custom race trucks. The F-100 body comes clear so owners can custom paint the truck to match anything their heart desires and it is made from high quality, crystal clear polycarbonate material. The body mounts directly to the cage on the UDR in the same locations as the stock body and is fully pre-cut for an easy direct fit.
Coming from Exotek and made for the Traxxas Slash 2WD truck are two new slipper eliminator hubs. The heavy duty yet lightweight slipper eliminator spur gear mounting hub for all 1/10 Traxxas 2WD Slash and Bandit buggies and trucks weighs in at only 2.7g to 3g, deleting the slipper components, and cutting out about 10g go rotational mass, allowing for quicker spool up and greater gearing selection for speed runs and dragster set ups. The mount is available in two variants; for the use with Kimbrough on road spurs, Exotek Flite spurs or similar on road spurs that have a 6-bolt pattern and inner hole diameter of 9.5mm with the second variant being designed for original Slash 2WD spur gears. Both hubs come machined from high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and laser-engraved.
Made for the Losi Baja Rey trucks with Ford Raptor body shell is a new front bumper and skid plate set from RPM. The company incorporated all of the key design features from the original RPM Baja Rey bumper and skid plate into this new version. A key improvement moved the skid plate from between the chassis plate and differential to below the aluminium chassis plate. This move solved a couple of problems. First, the aluminium chassis plate now has some serious RPM skid protection where it had none before. Next, and more importantly, it allowed the designers the freedom to create a flex zone on the skid plate that would allow more impact absorption in impact situations, ultimately saving owners from costly repairs. RPM redesigned the bumper as well, creating an additional flex zone that allows the bumper to compress under extreme impacts, yet return back to its original shape once the impact energy has dissipated. This flex zone protects the more fragile front differential and chassis plate since the bumper now absorbs the impact instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. RPM also made the bumper thicker than stock, meaning it can take more impacts over the entire width of the bumper without failing. The bumper is designed and produced in the USA and built from RPM’s nearly indestructible blend of engineering grade nylons.
