GForce Classic Pack 7.4V 2100mAh LiPo battery

GForce from Japan have introduced their all-new Classic Pack 7.4V 2100mAh LiPo battery that mimics the appearance of a NiCD racing pack battery. The lightweight battery weighs in at only 105g and it is built using high-quality 40C cells, ensuring good power supply for mild brushless and brushed motors while the black and golden appearance suits many vintage RC cars as does the oval diameter that is ideal for all cars that require a so called racing pack specification. The battery comes pre-wired with a Tamiya-style power connector and an industry standard balancer port and it will become available by early February.

Pro-Line big bore scaler shock absorbers

Coming from Pro-Line and made for many popular crawler vehicles are the new big bore scale shock absorbers. The large, nearly 11mm, bore allows the big bore shocks to function correctly as true performance shocks due to the larger oil volume in the shock body. The shocks feature CNC machined aluminium shock caps, collars, bodies,bottom caps, and hard chrome coated steel shock shafts all made to exacting tolerances. X-ring seals are used as the main shaft seal for smooth, low friction action and to prevent leaks. The shocks are meant to stand out from the crowd with chrome and black anodising and a large P-L logo engraved into the shock cap that will look good on any rig. Pro-Line also engineered an all-new dual-rate spring design made from a single spring that saves space and has incredible scale looks and performance. Optional softer and firmer dual-rate springs are available. The lower spring perch is captured, so drivers always know it will stay where it belongs during your adventures. From the top mounting hole to the bottom mounting hole, these Big Bore Scaler Shocks measure out to be 90mm at full extended length and collapse down to about 64mm – when the rubber bump stop is removed – and they include extra 5mm longer shock ends to increase the shock length. Just like Pro-Line’s Pro-Spec scaler shocks, the big bores come mostly pre-built – without oil – and are designed to fit many popular crawler vehicles.

Pro-Line Badlands MX38 HP 3.8” belted MT tyres

Coming soon from Pro-Line is their new pre-mounted Badlands MX38 HP 3.8” all-terrain belted monster truck tyre. The Badlands tyres are known for having a sweet Motocross inspired tread and the all-new Badlands MX38 HP tires kick that up a notch with Bigger and Bolder knobby tread. The true all-terrain tyre will find traction on any surface but is best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass. The high-performance herringbone weave pattern belt inside of the tyres will prevent it from ballooning or expanding during use. This will give maximum control to put the power down even at high speeds. The tyre comes in Pro-Line’s renown M2 compound and it is 3.48” wide and 6.8” tall, making it ideal for the latest generation of monster trucks and it is pre-mounted on the next generation 3.8” wheel design from Pro-Line, the Raid 3.8” removable hex wheel.
