Protoform TCC wing set

Following requested by oval racers to make TCC wings available separately, Protoform responded with this double wing set pulled in durable lexan. These wings with the add-on spill plates are identical to the wings that are included with the TCC race body at the time of purchase. Now you’re able to have extra wings in your pit box to allow for experimentation with varying degrees of downforce as well as the ability to replace damaged wings. Supplied with mounting hardware.

Pro-Line Silverado, 14RS, Suburbs front & more

Judging by their January releases Pro-Line have been busy with a whole host of new bodies, tires and wheels being announced. Starting with the new Chevy Silverado Short course truck body, perfect for Chevy race fans to deck out their Slash or SC10 chassis’. Also for the same SC cars, is this 14RS shell, which resembles more a Dakar style race truck than your traditional Short course race truck. Both bodies are sold clear and supplied with window mask and decal sheets. Bringing colour to your racing, PL now offer their range of Split six wheels in 2 additional colours, white and yellow, in addition to the already available black versions. To follow up on the release of their Suburbs pattern for rear tires mid last year, you can now get the same pattern for us on the front of your 4wd buggy. Available in M3, MX and MC compounds. To final releases from Pro Line are their new Volkswagen Baja bug body for the 1/16th E-Revo and the Chevy Blazer for 1/18th crawlers.

CRC Maxxcell 5200mAh 1S LiPo pack

CRC have entered the battery market with their new Maxxcell line of LiPo racing batteries. Featuring a low profile terminal design, convenient 4mm bullet tubes (photo shows prototype), low internal resistance (IR), high average discharge voltage and long run time, the Maxxcell LiPo is a proven winner. The 50C peak discharge rates deliver the punch, while a true 5200mAh delivers the run time. The 4mm tubes and bullet connectors closely replicate the solder tabs most every racer has used for years. Wired batteries with connectors are inconvenient and difficult to use as each manufacturer uses different placement, wire lengths and connectors, plus space is tight in most 1:12th road racers, all that wire and connector bulk takes up valuable room. With the bullet connectors, the wiring is much cleaner, efficient and lightweight. The pack is ROAR legal and is built to fall within the rules of IFMAR, EFRA, BRCA and ROAR.
