Coming soon from Pro-Line are new option parts for the Traxxas X-Maxx as well as other monster trucks. First up is the Ultra reservoir shock cap tailor-made for the Traxxas X-Maxx truck. It fits directly onto the stock X-Maxx shocks and transform them into fully functional reservoir shocks. The additional reservoir provides more oil volume which results in cooler shock temps and improved shock consistency. The reservoir piston compensates for the volume of the shock shaft delivering plush performance over small bumps and large jumps just like full-scale shocks. The included shock cap, reservoir, piston and bottom cap have all been CNC machined out of high-grade aluminium to exacting specifications to meet the demands of the enormous X-Maxx. The included O-rings provide perfect sealing and Delrin upper pivot balls are included for optimum performance.
Xray have introduced a new brass motor mount plate for the T4’17 touring car. The part, machined from high-quality brass, adds about 5.6g of weight to the centre of the chassis which can be beneficial in several track conditions. The plate does not effect chassis flex and it replaces the standard aluminium part.

Available now are Schelle Racing Innovations’ new 67mm aluminium light CVA driveshafts for the Team Associated B6 series of vehicles. They make for a “long dogbone” setup that moves through the range of suspension travel with less angle misalignment. This translates to less bind on power and more rear grip as the suspension works under load instead of locking out due to the drivetrain. The set includes new custom machined drive pins that will not shift in the softer aluminium material.

WRC from Italy have introduced a carbon fibre motor fan mount for the STX touring car. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the part attaches directly to the left vertical upper deck and its adjustable fan mounts brackets allow the attachment of the most commonly used fan sizes and designs.
RPM have introduced a rear bumper and skid plate for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. Weighing in at only 5.5g the part hardly adds any weight but it is 52mm wide and extends rearward by roughly 32mm at a 45 degree angle for added rear bulkhead, A-arms and differential protection. Additionally it sits 2.4mm beneath the chassis. This skid area of the bumper lends extreme skid resistance to the back of that expensive aluminium chassis and helps reduce skid and impact damage to the rear of the buggy.
