ST Racing Concepts have released a huge selection of option parts for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 starting with this CNC machined aluminium multi-piece steering bellcrank set that greatly increases the durability and takes out any flex in the kit plastic bellcrank system providing a more precise steering feel. New CNC machined aluminium front c-hubs, steering knuckle and rear hub carriers greatly improves the durability of those areas and add that great factory look. The rear hub carriers feature a set-screw over hinge-pin design that securely keep the hub carriers on the hinge-pins, and also keep the wear to a minimum by making the hinge-pins rotate in the arms and not in the aluminium hub carriers while also increasing the durability. Greatly reduce the flex of the stock plastic towers with the new CNC machined aluminium HD front and rear shock towers.

Pro-Line have released two new items, the first being the chassis saver for the Traxxas Slash. During track testing of the ProTrac kit for Slash, it became clear to the Pro-Line development team that the the short course truck’s chassis had a weakness resulting in numerous broken chassis and shortened track sessions. To resolve the issue they created this chassis saver set, which strengthens the rear shock tower mounting ears. The second new item from Pro-Line is the 1:10 Caliber 2.2″ truck tires. The Caliber takes tire technology to the next level by optimizing traction, control, balance, and tire wear with its dual-stage design. The smaller top pin penetrates through loose dirt while delivering unbelievable side and forward bite. The base pin works as a support for the top pin while acting as a dual-stage design once the top pin is worn down. You can rely on the base pin for greater tread life wear and it works well on those tracks that are prone to blue-groove or have a super clean surface.
