TVR Ball-X Revo & Maxx truck axles

TVR Ball-X Traxxas truck axles

TVR introduce their Ball-X driveshafts for the Traxxas Revo and Maxx line of monster trucks. The special design of the driveshaft and wheel axle coupler using balls over conventional pins makes for a three times larger contact area to distribute torque loads more efficiently, more reliable and without any binding. The construction also allows for angles up to 50 degree for smaller turning circles for more low-speed agility. The driveshafts comes as pairs with suitable differential outdrives.

Tresrey 210 series alloy suspension parts

Japanese option parts company Tresrey introduce new aluminium option parts for Team Durango’s 210 series 2WD off-road vehicles in the form of C-hubs and rear suspension mounts. Starting with the C-hubs, the parts are CNC-machined and do away with the need to use the original caster inserts as they sport a fixed 0 degree angle. This makes for more a more accurately fitting part and makes for less maintenance work. The parts fit on all 210 series buggies and trucks. Also new are aluminium RF and RR front and rear suspension mounts for the rear end of the DEX210 chassis. The standard RF part has a 0 degree kick-up setting while the RR block is of a new low roll centre design with 3 degree toe-in. Both parts combined give 2 degree of kick-up for a lowered roll centre. The suspension block replace the standard plastic parts for added rigidity and durability. All parts come red anodized in ‘Tresrey red’ and are available from late July.
