Axial 1/10 scale RBX10 Ryft 4wd rock bouncer

Axial introduces another first with the 1/10 scale RBX10 Ryft 4wd, a kit that allows intermediate level RC drivers to experience the thrills of rock bouncer off-road action. Full-size rock bouncers refuse to stop, or even back down on the throttle, when facing steep climbs and massive rocks. So does the RBX10 Ryft 4wd. This ground-up new Axial vehicle handles lots of abuse and loads of power. It’s robust, custom tube chassis is engineered from a high-strength composite plastic that withstands the hard knocks of RC off-roading, even while moving at high speeds over difficult off-road terrain. Both the front and rear axles boast a durable one-piece, moulded plastic, solid axle design and realistic metal differential covers. Officially licensed Interco TSL Super Swamper Bogger tires on Raceline Monster wheels do their part to tame wild tracks, aided by a 4-link suspension and adjustable, long travel front and rear oil shocks. These features, plus a full-time 4WD transmission, make the RBX10 Ryft an exciting vehicle to take on tough challenges at full throttle. The kit comes with a clear body for finishing in your favourite colours, plus decals and realistic interior details.

Tekno optional diff cross pins & brake pad return springs

CNC machined from 7075 aluminium and hard anodised, these optional differential cross pins from Tekno reduce driveline rotating mass and slightly improve acceleration. They’re great if you’re looking to shave a few grams plus they last incredibly long due to the hard anodising. TKR9149A is a direct replacement for TKR9149 and is compatible with TKR9115 differential cases and TKR9150 gear sets. Also from Tekno are these revised extra stiff brake pad return springs to improve the consistency and lifespan of your brakes. The spring rate has been increased and provides more force to ensure your brakes won’t stick when disengaged. They provide a more natural feel in long runs and help eliminate brake fade by reducing friction between the brake discs and pads.
