Axial Score Trophy truck bodyshells

Coming from Axial are two new Score Trophy Truck bodyshells for the Yeti Score Trophy Truck. First up is the TT-380 Score Trophy Truck body that is modelled after current OEM truck styling trends. It sports a sweeping roof line, flowing surfaces defined by crisp edges, pronounced wheel arches and geometric defined undercuts in the lower rockers, giving the body that modern day look. The front grill and light bucket assemblies continue with the modern look with sharp distinct lines and integrated LED mounts within the light buckets. The body can used with or without rear roll cage assembly but running the body without roll cage assembly requires the use of optional rear body mount included in the Yeti Score Trophy Truck along with not cutting out the back of the body.

JConcepts 1984 Ford F-150 trail & scaler bodyshell

Made for 1.9″ trail and scale vehicles such as the ones from Vaterra and Axial is JConcepts’ 1984 Ford F-150 bodyshell. The seventh generation of the Ford F-Series is distinguished by its squarer look, sharper lines and flatter panels, the trucks were designed with the working man in mind. The “Blue Oval”, a trademark of all Ford pickups, makes a striking appearance centred in the grille. Stout fender flares are carved ever so carefully into the panels while openings allow for a vast assortment of tires on the market. The F-150 single-cab look is strong and is a careful reminder of a time when passengers sat side-by-side during a typical outing. The bed itself is solid and includes slated details to look like its full-scale counterpart. Light body lines and raised sections are present throughout such as fuel tank caps, window weather strip outlines and hood indentations. The hard body-line positioned front to back give the truck heart and the “Built Ford Tough” personality. The body comes clear and includes authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist. The F-150 drops on the Ascender and Axial 12.50″ wheelbase setting, with standard body mounts.

Axial Trail Breaker brushed electric motors

Axial have introduced the Trail Breaker brushed electric motors. Although brushless motors are the way to go in competition off-road racing, the often smoother brushed motors are still commonly used in some specialised applications such as rock crawling. Axial’s Trail Breaker rebuildable brushed motors were designed exclusively for RC rock crawlers and high-torque applications. Within the motor sealed precision ball bearings at each end improve efficiency and performance and beyond that are a balanced commutator and hard brushes, designed with long wear characteristics in mind, making it ideal for more run time and less down time. The motor is available in a 35T variant for more wheel speed and a 55T version with increased torque.
