Pro-Line 1978 Chevrolet Malibu body shell

Pro-Line have introduced their new 1978 Chevrolet Malibu drag car body shell. The timeless Malibu body was specifically designed for the growing no-prep SC drag racing scene and bowtie fans will love the ultra-scale body that captures all the signature details of Mark Micke’s 4,700hp, twin-turbo, 200mph+ G-body Malibu. To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body. It is a direct fit on the Team Associated DR10, but Traxxas 2WD Slash trucks will require some modifications to fit correctly. The body comes clear, including a rear spoiler and a detailed decal sheet.

MiBorg ST2.1 RCV front driveshafts

Coming from MiBorg and made for the WRC Racing ST2.1 FWD are the new RCV driveshafts. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use steel balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even at high steering angles. This leads to a more predictable handling, higher corner speeds and less tyre wear. In addition the wheel axles allow the use of standard thickness bearings while lighter, pin-less wheel hex adapters reduce overall weight.

Serpent SRX8GTE WC 1/8th electric GT kit

Serpent have introduced their new SRX8GTE WC 1/8th scale electric GT kit. The SRX8GTE WC is based on the SRX8GTE that has proven its great potential at the World Championships in Miami this January. The WC kit shares many high performance parts from the successful SRX8 platform and in addition to the details carried over from the SRX8, Serpent have introduced many new design concepts to push the SRX8GTE WC well into the future. Included in the SRX8GTE WC kit are the new HTD diffs – these were also used by the team at the Worlds. The internal gears are a staggering Mod 1.25 which puts them at the largest in the market place. With a maximum engagement surface on the tooth for earth shattering oil shearing, the larger volume housing of the differentials reduce any fading or loss of performance in long mains. The internal ratio is an industry-standard 10T/20T. Also new on the SRX8GTE WC are the aluminium uprights with carbon brackets to have access to an increased amount of roll centre positions, coving virtually every track condition. Last but not least come new front and rear shock towers that will be used without the shock brackets on the wishbones, ensuring an optimised suspension geometry. The kits will ship from the 23rd of August.

Carisma SCA-1E V2 alloy & carbon steering knuckle set

Carisma Scale Adventure have introduced their new V2 alloy and carbon fibre steering knuckle set for the SCA-1E trail trucks. When progressing from trail running to full on rock crawling, often a rig’s limiting factors aren’t its articulation, or the grip its tyres can generate, or even its weight bias. Approach angle, break over angle and departure angle have a more direct effect on what it can crawl up, over and away from. Carisma have therefore developed and field tested a new high clearance alloy and carbon fibre V2 steering knuckle, offering 17.5 mm more forward clearance to the steering link, and additionally raising it 9.2 mm higher than the stock RTR or kit steering knuckles. This improves the rig’s approach angle, lifts the steering link above the centreline of the front axles diff housing, and still allows good steering deflection and steering throw.
