Pro-Line Resistor & Wedge Gen 3 1/10th buggy tyres

Pro-Line have introduced their new Resistor 2.2” off-road buggy rear tyres as well as their Wedge Gen 3 2.2” carpet front tyres. Starting with the all-new Resistor tyre, based on the popular carcass shape and futuristic directional tread design of the Positron, the Resistor takes performance up another level with improved side bite and balanced traction on indoor clay tracks. The tread design of the new tyre pays homage to the Positron for a familiar Pro-Line signature look and each bar has been positioned and angled for maximum race performance. The Resistor is directional, which adds another tuning option for the racers always looking for that extra edge since it will perform differently depending on which direction it is run. The tyre includes blue closed cell inserts and it comes in MC clay or M4 super soft rubber compounds.

Bezerk RC Pro10 rear wheel shims

Coming from Bezerk RC are their new Pro10 wheel shims that allow to adjust the track width of Pro10 1/10th scale pan cars. The Pro10 class demands a lot on an axle that was first designed for a 12th scale car. When using axle spacers to achieve the desired rear track width the spur gear gets moved further away from the bulkhead/bearing and can thus cause premature failure of the spur gear. A concept inspired by Shannon Overson was to move the wheel out instead to keep the spur gear as close as possible to the bulkhead. This set includes a pair of 0.5mm and a pair of 1.0mm carbon shims that can be placed between the wheel hubs and the rim to fine-tune the rear track width without having to adjust axle width.

Pro-Line Axis 2WD lightweight body shells

Pro-Line have introduced their all-new Axis 2WD lightweight buggy body shell for the Team Associated B6.1, the TLR 22 5.0 and the Yokomo YZ-2. Designed with the latest in CAD technology, the Axis features a super low-slung design with sharp lines throughout giving it an unmistakable look on the track. The body features a cab-forward design which provides enhanced steering response while the small side fins balances out the rear of the car with ideal side-bite. The rear of the Axis body has the right amount of clearance for the gearbox and fits the chassis and bulkhead shape of the race buggies perfectly. The bodies are made in the USA from light weight polycarbonate material and included with each body are two Air Force II 6.5” rear wings, paint-then-peel overspray film, window masks and Pro-Line decals.

JConcepts 2005 Chevy 1500 MT single cab MT body shell

Coming soon from JConcepts is their new 2005 Chevy 1500 MT single cab rigid axle monster truck body shell. The 2005 Chevy Silverado is a big, all-American truck, and it looks the part, with its wide face and stylish yet slab-sided flanks. Ninety-degree angles dominate the styling providing that all-important Chevy bowtie look and the horizontal hardlines along the body panels ensures the truck’s dramatic road presence. The cat-eye headlights stare down the competition while the upper and lower grille marks its territory and provides an impactful arrival. The chiseled front-end, bumper fascia and front tire openings gives off a lot of monster madness while the aerodynamics remain for the truck to hold its own in a straight-line. A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and “power hump” hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides. The grille area has not been compromised and accepts the detailed JConcepts decal sheet and includes two different grille and headlight options. The front fascia is strong and while the large tire openings swoop through, the bumper has recessed areas for side-marker lights and air inlet. The tailgate is rigid in appearance with a slight undercut that is so common on the Chevrolet trucks. The 2005 Silverado’s bed features a slight recess which painters can leave clear or detail to their specification on any build. No race truck would be complete without a bobbed rear bedside to give racers extra clearance and an unmistakable visual rake. Each package includes window mask, 2005 generation Chevy Silverado specific decal sheet and clear polycarbonate body. The body was developed for 12.5” wheelbase trucks and it will hit stores very soon.

Fenix introduce new Mistral 2-0 & G56 optionals

Fenix Racing have introduced new option parts for the Mistral 2.0 and G56 pan car kits in the form of aluminium front upper arm mounts and a titanium uniball for the Mistral 2-0 shock mount.

Black coated for wear and looks the parts fit both the Mistral 2-0 and the G56 series of pan cars and they come in pairs including all necessary hardware. Also new is a titanium shock holder pivot ball for the Mistral 2-0 formula car.
