For the Hoss 4×4, Traxxas have produced these new heavy-duty steel constant velocity driveshafts. Designed specifically for monster truck applications, they are built to withstand the brutal torque and massive grip produced by the Hoss’ 540XL motor and huge Sledgehammer tires. Compared to ordinary metal shafts, Traxxas’ unique splined telescoping design delivers full-range articulation so there is never a need to limit suspension travel. Metal pin-retention rings keep the drive pins securely in place for extra security on high RPM speed runs. Also suitable for Slash 4×4, Rustler 4×4, and Stampede 4×4 models.

Yeah Racing have released these new brass portal covers for the Currie axle on Axial’s Capra 1.9 Unlimited trail buggy. Weighing in at 56 grams each, these not only look great but will ensure you extract more grip from your tires by putting all that extra weight at the lowest point of the vehicle.

LCG Racing have introduced this new aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 SFX Conversion which features a stepped decrease of cutout width from front to rear. This makes the chassis softer in the front and stiffer in the rear which they claim makes the car smoother at corner entry and more stable on power while increasing steering through the corner. The chassis is designed with reduced width at the droop screw area to decrease scrubbing and, therefore, increase corner speed and only includes long suspension arm holes to improve strength and optimise flex characteristics. The black anodised aluminium chassis is made from high quality 7075 Aluminium and comes laser engraved with the LCG and SFX logos.

Coming soon from Tamiya, the TA07 MSX chassis kit is their latest single belt 4wd 1/10th scale chassis. An evolution of the TA07 MS, the car features a new 2.25mm thick carbon fibre chassis and 2.0mm thick aluminium chassis to help dial it in to various track conditions. Using a vertically mounted 2.0mm thick upper deck, it creates improved roll characteristics while ensuring pitching rigidity. In addition, two motor positions with different traction characteristics can be selected and as with the TRF420 the suspension mounts use inserts for fine adjustment. The front and rear pulleys are the same as the TRF420 as are the SSBB dampers and to that end there is new 3mm thick carbon fibre shock towers front and rear.
