Axial SMT10 Grave Digger Monster Jam RTR truck

Axial have introduced their all new SMT10 Grave Digger Monster Jam 1/10th scale 4WD ready-to-run straight-axle truck. Resembling the iconic Grave Digger full-scale truck, the 1/10th kit was developed for maximum strength and an extremely detailed appearance. The chassis offers many pivot points for suspension tuning while realism and strength are achieved through triangulation of the chassis tubes, making it ready for maximum attack and hardcore Monster Truck bashing. Part of the package are also the AR60 OCP-Axles that are constructed from high strength composite material which has a low flex rate but is not as brittle as standard glass filled nylon. The combination of these axles and a true 4-link suspension gives optimal performance for any terrain with the look of a real full-scale vehicle.

Kyosho release more RB6.6 images

Following first teaser images released yesterday, Kyosho have issued more detailed photos of the forthcoming RB6.6 1/10th 2WD off-road buggy. Based off of a longer wheelbase chassis the car’s most important feature is the very versatile gearbox layout with a rear motor and a total of three mid motor configurations, – including 3-gear, 4-gear, and laydown – being usable right out of the box. Beside the changeable transmission design the buggy also allows for a range of battery configurations to be run as are inline or transversally mounted shorty LiPos in mid motor as well as straight and saddle packs for the mid and rear motor layouts. The suspension components are taken over from the previous RB6 by the looks of things and the kit comes with a new high-downforce body to fit the 13mm longer chassis.
