Arrma Nero 6S BLX brushless monster truck

Arrma have introduced their all-new Nero 6S BLX brushless ready-to-run monster truck. The 513mm long vehicle builds on a tough twin vertical plate chassis made up using red anodised aluminium which is further supported by a composite plastic exoskeleton that also acts as a support for the bodyshell. The truck is powered by a 2000kv brushless motor that is coupled to the centre aluminium bulkhead that not only sits very low in the chassis but it is also easily accessible from underneath, making for swift and easy maintenance and cleaning. What makes the Nero 6S stand out is the Diff Brain technology, a system that allows to adjust the handling characteristics of the truck by using one of the four so called Beast Modes. The servo-operated system is accessible on-the-fly using the included 2.4GHz transmitter and it offers Blast, Wheelie, Drift and Climb modes, all of which feature specific front, centre and rear diff settings. Other features of the Nero 6S include front and rear laydown shock absorbers with push rods, easy access differentials, adjustable pivot ball suspension, aluminium and steel driveshafts, and pre-glued large diameter dBoots monster truck wheels. The truck is designed for the use with dual 3S LiPo batteries and it is available with a pre-painted bodyshell and in two specifications, with or without the Diff Brain unit with the letter being available optional as an easy upgrade.

Roche have introduced two new option parts for the Rapide F1 formula car. First up is the new low-traction carbon fibre chassis cut from 2.25mm material and best used on slippery asphalt tracks.

The latter is necessary to achieve a properly aligned power pod when running the 2.25mm main chassis plate.
