Last weekend we told you about the Niteline RC18R from Team Associated, and now they have released a large action shot of the car as well as a studio picture to give a better look at this cartoon style Nissan Skyline body. The Niteline is the latest addition to a large range of RC18 chassis’, following on from the multi terrain rally versions and the previous buggy, stadium truck and monster truck versions.

Just like its cousins the 18T, 18B and 18MT, everything is included-the car, transmitter, motor, battery and charger are all in the box at no extra cost. All you’ll need to do is charge the included race pack and add eight double A batteries and you are racing!

EXCLUSIVE - JACO Prism

In addition to the Exclusive on their new rubber tire range, JACO also provided us with information, and again and Exclusive first image, of their new 1/12th scale foam tires and awesome new wheels. Replacing their current line of wheels, these new tires come mounted on the all new large diameter ‘Prism’ wheel and have already proven themselves in competition, by winning the Stock Invitational race at ‘The Gate’ by over a full lap. These revolutionary tires come trued to a race-ready diameter and will be available in 5 different compounds for front and 5 different compounds for rears, and the best part is that less rubber on the wheel means a lower price to the consumer, so expect to pay $16.00 for fronts and $18.00 for rears when they are released in a week or so.
