This type of fuel gun is very popular at the moment and Arrowmax now have their own version, which they are calling their ‘Fast Fuel Gun’. Built for ultra fast refuelling with its trigger orientation that makes the action more ergonomic, the materials used on the grip have been tested extensively to ensure mechanics get the best grip during refuelling.

Losi have introduced the new Super Baja Rey 2.0, a follow up to their popular 1/6th scale 4wd brushless desert truck. The ready to run SBR 2.0 takes it to the next level of performance and scale detail. Taking the Super Rock Rey chassis, Losi have added about an inch to the wheelbase and morphed it with the front end from the Super Baja Rey to give you the all new and improved Super Baja Rey 2.0. Coming fitted with the Spektrum Firma Smart 160 Amp 8S ESC and 750kv Firma 1/6th brushless motor allows you to unlock blazing speeds. The bottom loading chassis makes battery changes a breeze, while the front and rear LED light bars keep everything nice and bright for off-road adventures at night. Controlling this beast is done with the DX3 transmitter combined with a Spektrum 6100AT AVC receiver with steering priority. The officially licensed Method Race wheels and BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires combined with the new Brenthel Industries Trophy truck body, that is modeled after their actual race truck, complete the aggressive, scale-detailed look.

Axon in Japan have produced these new wheel hub axles for the BD10, T4’20 & TRF420. Designed to dramatically improve traction, they do so on all 4 wheels by integrating the wheel hub with the car’s own axle shaft to create a direct connection from the drive shaft to the tires. Having the wheel hub axle now run on the bearings requires that the bearings of the front knuckle and rear hub be changed from a 1050 to 1060. The new bearing size, along with the smaller gap between the bearings due to the use of a smaller spacer between, further reduces rolling resistance as well as load on the bearings.
