Traxxas Slayer Pro 4X4

Traxxas have updated their Slayer chassis with the release of the Pro 4×4 version. Based on the previous and very successful Slayer, this latest version features a new chassis and wishbones that give it a 30mm longer wheelbase and 26mm wider track than the original car. Now with a 10% larger footprint, this car’s new longer wheelbase chassis and wide track stance deliver enhanced stability in rough conditions and radically improved high speed cornering. Extreme TRX 3.3 power punches hard and revs fast to rip past the competition and the amazing Revo-Spec linkage-based suspension and hard-anodized GTR shocks deliver seemingly bottomless suspension travel that simulates the handling and jumping ability of full-size Pro 4X4 trucks. Slayer Pro 4X4’s new bodywork and officially licensed BF Goodrich or Kumho tires bring together scale looks and 50+mph performance for all-day fun, excitement, and competition.

Kyosho Ultima SCR Truck

With three rapid-fire victories immediately after its debut, the new Ultima SC-R has made a huge impact at major ROAR racing events. The exciting category of short-course truck racing is now an officially sanctioned racing class and is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and Japan as well. As a different driver achieved each victory, the performance of the Ultima SC-R has come into sharper focus. Compatible with ROAR racing regulations, the Ultima SC-R kit is fully equipped with a range of high performance optional parts for a racing edge right from the start and at a great value. Similar in size to a 1/8-class model, the lightweight finish weighs in at only 2,000g and a popular Readyset version is already available (Ultima SC RTR) for those who like to hit the dirt without delay.

STRC Jammin SCRT10 option parts

STRC have released a number of new optional parts for the Jammin SCRT10. All the new products have been precision CNC machined from high-grade aluminium and grey anodised. The new caster blocks and steering knuckle greatly improves durability and add that great factory looks to the front suspension of your Jammin SCRT10. The Steering Knuckle increases the steering angle over the stock plastic unit for even tighter turning radius, and for precise fit and tolerance, the bearing holes are drilled after the part has been anodized to ensure the tightest tolerance possible around the bearings. New heavy duty front and rear shock towers will not only add great looks to your Jammin SCRT10, but it will eliminate the flex in your shock tower, keeping your suspension operating true to its design. The new center bulkhead will eliminate any flex in the center transmission area due to heavy torque loads from powerful brushless motors. The 12mm Machined Hex adapters securely mounts on your Jammin SCRT10 wheels and tires with no chance of it being “round off” under heavy torque and power loads. Finally there are front and rear chassis braces that provide the front and rear end of your chassis with better support, and prevent the chassis from “buckling” under hard landing and bending the center driveshafts.
