Pro-Line Pro-Spline HD rear axles

New from Pro-Line come the Pro-Spline HD rear axles for the Pro-2 SC and Slash 2WD with ProTrac kit. The Pro-Spline HD technology debuted on the Pro-Line Pro-MT kit and is designed to handle some serious power. Made from hardened black oxide coated steel, the drive shafts have a true 6-sided spline that slides smoothly throughout the suspension travel without having to worry about stripping out like the stock plastic drive shafts. The pins are held in place by zinc coated snap rings and M3 set screws on both ends. The drive shafts also fit the Stampede and Electric Rustler kits.

Axial Score Trophy truck bodyshells

Coming from Axial are two new Score Trophy Truck bodyshells for the Yeti Score Trophy Truck. First up is the TT-380 Score Trophy Truck body that is modelled after current OEM truck styling trends. It sports a sweeping roof line, flowing surfaces defined by crisp edges, pronounced wheel arches and geometric defined undercuts in the lower rockers, giving the body that modern day look. The front grill and light bucket assemblies continue with the modern look with sharp distinct lines and integrated LED mounts within the light buckets. The body can used with or without rear roll cage assembly but running the body without roll cage assembly requires the use of optional rear body mount included in the Yeti Score Trophy Truck along with not cutting out the back of the body. The body comes clear, including decal sheet and moulded cage details.

Losi teases new off-road vehicle

Losi have released the teaser image of a forthcoming new off-road vehicle. With Losi being Horizon Hobby’s high-quality “basher” brand, the car in question will likely not be a competition offering but a high-performance hobby product. Information about the vehicle are not existing so far beside the above teaser image. Update: In the meantime a better image appeared on Losi’s official website, showing either a Ten-SCTE based 4WD off-road buggy with a futuristic buggy bodyshell, beadlock wheels and a large rear wing. More information should surface soon as the kit, likely called the Ten-SCBE, is on show during this weekend’s Motorama show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
