RPM Revolver SC wheels

RPM have announced that their most popular wheel, the Revolver, is now available in a Short Course version (2.2” – 3.0”). RPM Revolver Short Course wheels are built tough, look great and have an all-new drive system that is built to withstand some serious power. The RPM ‘Spline Drive’ system is radically different than the standard hex drive. A hex is easy to machine and easy to manufacture, which is why it is so commonly used. However, splines are tougher and stronger, which is why they’re used in full-sized driveline components. Additionally, our Spline Drive has almost twice the amount of drive surface area versus a standard 12mm hex adapter and over 2.5 times the thickness at the most critical drive point of the adapter, the point that, if it fails, a standard hex adapter will spin. RPM Revolver Short Course wheels are sold in pairs, spline drive adapters are included in each package, available in black or chrome and backed by their industry-leading breakage warranty for unsurpassed strength and durability.

Method RC Hellcat Type R SC body

New from Method RC, the Hellcat Type R short course body fits most popular 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive 1:10 scale RC SCT vehicles and is designed to meet the ROAR Racing regulations for 1/10th RC Short Course Truck. The Hellcat sports aggressive styling that is true to full-scale short course racing trucks. Careful placement of air extractors in low pressure zones reduces the parachute effect when jumping without making your truck look like Swiss cheese. Included number plates incorporate a 35 degree kick to help reduce air entrainment behind the cab, reducing drag and parachute effect. The Type R body is perfect for racing as it uses a thinner polycarbonate to reduce weight. When you really want to get aggressive, install the included rear spoiler for added bite.
