Pro-Line Raid 2.2”/3.0” removable hex SC wheels

Made for the Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4×4 short course trucks are Pro-Line’s new Raid 2.2”/3.0” removable hex wheels. The wheels feature a new 6×30 removable hex system and include a pair of 12mm Slash 4×4 Front/Rear (Slash 2W rear) hexes and a pair of 12mm Slash 2WD front hexes that fit the most popular trucks. Optional 14mm, 17mm and ProTrac offset 12mm hexes are available separately to fit the driver’s exact application. If the wheel hex ever gets damaged, it can easily be replaced without needing to replace the glued tyres. The Raid wheels feature a detailed 10-spoke design that recreates the latest in high-performance full-size forged racing wheels with the strength and durability to match the bold look. Moulded-in bead-loc detail only adds to the realism.

JConcepts Colt 1.9” beadlock wheel

Coming from JConcepts is their new Colt 1.9” beadlock crawler wheel. The cleverly designed beadlock alternative for 1.9” tyres features 8 triangle spokes that provide a Wagon look which is perfect for vintage builds and trucks that need a raw muscle look of the 1970’s and 80’s. Dipping into the assembly, the Colt wheels assemble from the inside out and include an inner pinch ring which helps lock the two halves together. The outside of the wheel has the 12mm hex already blended into the design while supplying a sturdy wheel offset capable of taming an assortment of terrain. The final look arrives after the completed assembly is secured on the truck and the center cap is placed into position with included screws. The center cap covers all wheel nut and fitment territory and leaves the look of the wheel clean and stylized. The wheels are molded in a durable material and they come as pairs.

RPM Baja Rey Ford Raptor front bumper & skid plate

Made for the Losi Baja Rey trucks with Ford Raptor body shell is a new front bumper and skid plate set from RPM. The company incorporated all of the key design features from the original RPM Baja Rey bumper and skid plate into this new version. A key improvement moved the skid plate from between the chassis plate and differential to below the aluminium chassis plate. This move solved a couple of problems. First, the aluminium chassis plate now has some serious RPM skid protection where it had none before. Next, and more importantly, it allowed the designers the freedom to create a flex zone on the skid plate that would allow more impact absorption in impact situations, ultimately saving owners from costly repairs. RPM redesigned the bumper as well, creating an additional flex zone that allows the bumper to compress under extreme impacts, yet return back to its original shape once the impact energy has dissipated. This flex zone protects the more fragile front differential and chassis plate since the bumper now absorbs the impact instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. RPM also made the bumper thicker than stock, meaning it can take more impacts over the entire width of the bumper without failing. The bumper is designed and produced in the USA and built from RPM’s nearly indestructible blend of engineering grade nylons.
