Pro-Line Caliber pre-mounted

Pro-Line releases the all-new Caliber pre-mounted on Velocity V2 wheels. The new larger diameter and larger width wheels give your car the maximum traction and stability, while the Caliber’s step-pin technology collides with small pin technology to bring you a tire tread that is versatile and long-lasting. The small top pin is good for light to heavy loose dirt, while the base pin works great on hard-packed/blue-groove surfaces. Available in M2 and M3 compounds on either white or yellow wheels.

CRC Gen-X top plate & Truer adapter

CRC have released some new items starting with this top plate for the Gen-X 12 and 10. Made from 4mm carbon fibre, this optional top plate is super rugged and is more resistant to breaking than the standard version, something that is necessary thanks to super hot motors. Supplied with 3 longer screws for mounting to the motor plate and the centre standoff. CRC have also introduced their True-all tire truer adapter, suitable for 12th, 10th, & TC. Fitting most automatic tire truers from manufacturers like Hudy, Integy, Ofna, GQ, and more, it features a steel threaded stud that will last much longer than some of the competition’s aluminium threads and the threads are even replaceable. Finally the company has released ceramic engine and clutch bearings, which they claim are far superior to the regular steel pieces that come with the engine. More RPM capability than the steel counterparts and the ceramic balls reduce rotating mass and friction.

Xray Active Center Differential

Xray have introduced this unique active center differential, which is a high-performance, adjustable center gear differential for XB808 buggies, vastly improving the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction and stability of the buggy, making it faster and easier to drive. Developed for improving steering for high traction off-road tracks, it must be used with the previously released front active differential. While it s a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to any level of driver that wants to a more aggressive car with more turn in response.
