Traxxas heavy duty CVDs for the Hoss 4×4

For the Hoss 4×4, Traxxas have produced these new heavy-duty steel constant velocity driveshafts. Designed specifically for monster truck applications, they are built to withstand the brutal torque and massive grip produced by the Hoss’ 540XL motor and huge Sledgehammer tires. Compared to ordinary metal shafts, Traxxas’ unique splined telescoping design delivers full-range articulation so there is never a need to limit suspension travel. Metal pin-retention rings keep the drive pins securely in place for extra security on high RPM speed runs. Also suitable for Slash 4×4, Rustler 4×4, and Stampede 4×4 models.

LCG Racing T4’20 SFX Conversion chassis

LCG Racing have introduced this new aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 SFX Conversion which features a stepped decrease of cutout width from front to rear. This makes the chassis softer in the front and stiffer in the rear which they claim makes the car smoother at corner entry and more stable on power while increasing steering through the corner. The chassis is designed with reduced width at the droop screw area to decrease scrubbing and, therefore, increase corner speed and only includes long suspension arm holes to improve strength and optimise flex characteristics. The black anodised aluminium chassis is made from high quality 7075 Aluminium and comes laser engraved with the LCG and SFX logos.

JConcepts RC10B2 carbon fibre front shock tower

The RC10B2, one of the most popular RC vehicles in the mid 1990’s has a new carbon fibre shock tower courtesy of JConcepts. The stock vehicle comes standard with a twin up-right unit which carries all the original geometry, however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength, and appearance that the JConcepts tower can provide. The new front shock tower features a connected tower design with X centre giving that all important strength. It also includes detailed and reinforced areas in the large pocketed area, adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the front-end.
