STRC Axial Wraith aluminium options

STRC have produced suspension links for the Axial Wraith out of heavy duty CNC machined aluminium. Instead of going with the cheaper looking aluminium tube design, these lower and upper suspension links feature the same lightweight design as the stock plastic pieces with weight saving holes drilled out in the suspension links while preserving the same thickness as the stock plastic pieces that makes these links near indestructible. The stock plastic steering linkage on the Axial Wraith is also a weak point on this vehicle, as the stock pieces tend to be sloppy and weak in transferring the torque and power coming from the steering servo. These CNC Machined Aluminium Steering link features 7mm thick aluminium tubes for lower and upper steering links. The upper link features a slight bend that allows for all the power and torque from the servo to be transferred in a perpendicular angle to the arm of the knuckle to ensure no power is loss in the transfer. Suspension links and steering links available in Gun Metal, Black, Green and Silver.

STRC Slash 4×4 GT-8/rally cross conversion kit

We showed you first pictures of STRC’s GT-8 rally cross conversion kit for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 before and now it is here. Designed to keep the general layout of the Slash and retaining a certain ground clearance the converted truck is able to run both in the parking lot and backyard, given the correct tyre choice. Due to the lightweight design the GT-8 offers a huge weight saving compared to a converted 1/8 scale buggy as the STRC converted vehicle weights at around 2320g to 2440g depending on the battery whereas a converted buggy easily breaks the 3600g mark. The kit contains a CNC-machined aluminium HD front bumper, bumper posts, front and rear lower hinge-pin block, bumper/gearbox brace, 17mm wheel adapters and nuts, as well as a 3mm graphite upper bumper hold down plate as well as all needed screws and hardware. Additionally needed are 1/8 scale GT/Rally Cross tyres and a suitable body shell. The conversion kit is available in blue, gun metal, silver and red anodising. Also available is a graphite low profile front body mount for bodies that have a lower profile front nose. The plate drops the front body mounting height by 6mm and using Traxxas Rustler/Stampede battery hold down posts by more than 10mm.
