Tamiya TRF801X Competition truggy

More new products from the RCX show in California as US Magazine RCCA spotted a new competition truggy on the Tamiya stand. Named the TRF801X, this is still a concept car and as such there is little more concrete information known about it other than it will be aimed squarely at the competition market. It looks that Tamiya has perhaps smartly skipped the over crowded buggy market to get a head start on the still emerging truggy market.

Pro-Line B44 & B4 Vortex shells

New from Pro-Line for both the Associated B44 and B4, is the Vortex. Designed to give your car the latest in off-road styling and function, the Vortex was born from today’s top electric racer and IFMAR Off-Road World Champion, Ryan Cavalieri. “We need a body that will better cool the brushless systems we are using and looks like it is ready to compete,” says Ryan Cavalieri. So Ryan, along with Pro-Line’s body moulding expert, set out to create something that would improve the overall performance of the car’s electronics as well as the car’s performance on the track. With some unique cooling features, the Vortex received it’s name, which means ‘a whirling mass of air, especially one in the form of a visible column or spiral, as a tornado’. This is exactly what is created with such ventilation as the Vortex. Both bodies are made with Genuine GE .030 lexan and supplied with 2 medium down force wings, window mask, and Paint-then-peel overspray film.
