Traxxas Rustler 4×4 Sledgehammer tyres

Coming from Traxxas and made for the Rustler 4×4 monster truck are the new Sledgehammer tyres that provide extreme traction on a variety of off-road terrain. The Sledgehammer’s increased diameter provides improved ground clearance while the open-block design clears away mud and debris for exceptional traction on loose surfaces. They are perfect for both the Rustler 4×4 and Stampede 4×4 models as the increased diameter provides additional ground clearance and the extreme open block tread design clears debris for unmatched traction. A new heavy-duty wheel design provides additional strength and the eyes are sold pre-glued and ready to install.

JConcepts Finnisher Mini-T 2.0 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 is the new Finnisher truck body shell. The clear body has a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance that highlight a performance-oriented core. The front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for mini front-end geometry and body mounts while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18-wheeler. Just like the larger trucks, the Mini-T body has all the performance-based features like air-escape passages which can be trimmed by the customer for better “in-flight” characteristics. Recessed windows look heavy and adds to the depth of the Finnisher styling. Heavy bracing between the back of the cab and rear shock tower humps connect the features and add some rigidness to the design. The rear spoiler is included as part of the rear of complete body assembly mould and the package is complete with window masks and a decal sheet.
