Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Arrma 1/5 Outcast 8S BLX 4WD Brushless ready-to-run stunt truck. Driven by 8S brushless power and an Arrma-tough design, the Outcast 8S BLX 4WD delivers the torque, acceleration and speed bashers need for extreme action in 1/5th scale. The ready-to-run stunt truck comes equipped to defy gravity right out of the box. From the heavy-duty front bumper to the wheelie bar in back, it’s engineered to do it all: long, tall wheelies; tight, fast donuts; standing and aerial backflips; high leaps into the air; and more — over all terrain, in all conditions. The truck includes a Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter and SRS6110AT AVC Active Vehicle Control receiver that take full advantage of the Spektrum Smart Firma brushless motor and ESC’s telemetry capabilities. Users can download the free Spektrum Dashboard App to their mobile device and follow motor RPM, ESC temperature, receiver voltage, drive pack voltage and more data in real-time.

Tekno ET410.2 1/10th 4WD electric truggy kit

Tekno RC have unveiled their new ET410.2 1/10th scale 4WD electric truggy kit. Tekno RC redefined the 1/10th scale truck in terms of enjoyment and versatility when they introduced the ET410 1/10th 4WD competition electric truggy in 2018. By including many of the design features of the EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy, the ET410 was fast and fun right out of the box. It quickly became a fan favourite due to its versatility and performance on a wide variety of tracks. It could be raced on a small indoor track, then with very few setup changes, you could run it on a large outdoor track with rough surfaces and huge jumps. Now with the ET410.2, Tekno have taken the emerging 1/10th scale 4WD truck class to a new level. The ET410.2 includes all of the durability and handling improvements of the EB410.2, such as the taller one-piece adjustable wing mount, adjustable roll centre rear hubs, 3.5mm hinge pins, and HD hinge pin braces. Tekno also includes stronger HD outdrives, new rear arms with front-mounted shocks, as well as brand-new 18-degree low roll centre spindle carriers to smooth the steering response while improving corner speed. Also part of the package are new spindles with adjustable Ackermann plates to allow more precise tuning of corner entry and exit characteristics. The kit will become available by mid-July.

JConcepts Regulator Clod Buster chassis conversion kit

Coming from JConcepts is their new Regulator chassis conversion kit for the popular Tamiya Clod Buster rigid axle monster truck. A deep passion for monster truck racing and performance brought JConcepts full circle with the design of the Regulator Stage 2 chassis conversion kit. The design team had several design goals including weight balance, low centre of mass, the use of engineering materials and pinpoint adjustability to fully compliment one of the longest running vehicles in the RC industry. The Regulator focuses on allowing other existing RC components to work alongside of the design such as readily available body designs, shocks, wheels, tires and behind axle servo conversion kits. The key to the Regulator is the positioning of the battery and electronics in a top access layout and placed deep into the chassis for a low centre of gravity. The fibreglass chassis and bottom plates hold the retro straight rail frame physique and at the base of the chassis, the heavy-duty aluminium cradle supports the suspension and ladder bars. In addition, a brass weight is included for racing in a sanctioned competition where a weight limit is used to even the playing field even further. The brass weight is mounted at an incredibly low position and locks into the cradle which aligns perfectly with the low centre of gravity concept.

Arrma 1/8 Kration 4WD EXtreme Bash Roller monster truck

Coming soon from Arrma is their new 1/8th scale Kraton 4WD Extreme Bash Roller speed monster truck. The trucks builds on the proven 1/8th scale Kraton RTR and made of strong anodised 7075 T6 aluminium, its laser-etched chassis plate gains further rigidity from the use of front and rear aluminium chassis braces. Strong composite chassis side pods and a centre body support and brace provide more rugged resilience. Durable steel driveshafts plus all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals keep the heavy-duty 4-wheel drivetrain rolling over punishing tracks. An EXtreme Bash toughened suspension system smooths the ride, with a steel rear suspension mount and adjustable oil-filled shocks mounted on 7075 T6 anodised aluminium front and rear shock towers. Also included are EXB heavy-duty front and rear arms with aluminium strengthening cap, EXB heavy-duty steel turnbuckles, EXB heavy-duty front upper steel hinge pins, EXB plated limited-slip differentials, an EXB red-anodised aluminium servo mount, the EXB large volume waterproof receiver box, and an EXB front bumper. The trucks roll on aggressive dBoots Copperhead 2 tyres mounted on multi-spoke wheels with durable hubs to deliver all-terrain traction — assisted by a high downforce wing that adds an aggressive edge to the look of the exclusive EXB matte and gloss effect finished truck body.

Exotek F1Ultra 1/10th formula car kit

Exotek have introduced their first ever full car kit, the F1Ultra formula pan car. After years of adding innovation to other F1 kits Exotek figured it was time to release their own kit incorporating cutting edge patented chassis technology combined with high quality components and features. The car isn’t just a redesigned 1/12 chassis, but an all-new design that was created to maximise rubber tyre grip as well as add extra durability that these very unique cars require. The features list starts with the patent pending floating rear pod suspension system that provides unmatched rear traction needed for rubber tyre F1 racing. Because the rear suspension generates so much rear traction drivers are able to use more aggressive front tyres which translates to greatly improved lap times and full race length consistency.
