Fenix BD8 aluminium main chassis & top deck

Coming from Fenix and made for Yokomo’s popular BD8 touring car are an aluminium main chassis plate and top deck. As for the chassis, much thoughts went into in-corner scrub and drag reduction, which leads to more flowing outer lines as well as redesigned battery mounting brackets to further add clearance during hard cornering. The chassis comes with extensive machining in the battery and electric area for optimised flex characteristics, a black coated surface and machined silver edge details. As for the top deck, extra clearance is provided in the pinion area to ensure proper fitting of large pinions when running high-wind stock motors. Both the chassis and top deck will fit the 2018 and 2017 BD8 kits.

RPM E-Rustler rear bumper kit

RPM have introduced a rear bumper kit for the electric variants of Traxxas’ Rustler 2WD monster truck. The bumper is designed to protect the rear of the chassis, the motor and the body, all while still allowing the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Additionally, if owners decide to run without the wheelie bar, the bumper is so versatile, it’ll adapt and allow either configuration. The part is designed tough, with serious impact absorption characteristics built in. With the use of the optional RPM Rear Bumper Mount, the protection for the motor becomes nearly indestructible. The bumper is made of engineering grade nylons and comes in black or blue colour.
