Exotek Rock/Baja Rey Pro steering set

Exotek have announced the release of their new heavy duty Pro steering set for the 1/10 Losi Rock and Baja Rey. It was designed with a beefier structure and engineered to have the most precision thanks to the robust 7075 alloy design that incorporates an additional four bearings to connect the steering rack, instead of bushings, which eliminates friction, wear and slop. The set also includes crush sleeves that go between the bearings which help prolong the bearings life and maintains precise fit and operation of the rack. Lastly, a bigger 3mm threaded steel connecting ball is included which is stronger than the smaller 4/40 stock connecting ball.

Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail 4WD buggy kit

Axial have introduced the new Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy builder’s Kit for advanced drivers, that is engineered for cutting-edge crawling, with portal axles plus a transmitter-operated DIG function that allows a tighter turning radius. With the included Dig transmission, drivers can switch on the fly between 4WD and FWD directly from a 3-channel transmitter — locking the rear axle whenever needing the tighter turning radius of front drive power. The Capra features a realistic tube chassis design and metal gears everywhere, from the center transmission to the lockers and portal axles. It rides on licensed Raceline 3-piece molded beadlock wheels that can be fitted with whatever 1.9 tyres the owner prefers. Needed for completion are a 3-channel radio system, steering servo, micro servo for Dig operation, ESC, motor, battery, and a suitable charger.

Multi-terrain dBoots tyres on multi split-spoke wheels give the truck the grip to get up, over, or through anything in your way. To round things off the truck is equipped with a painted and pre-decorated desert truck body, colour-coordinated roll cage and roof rails, and even a detailed cockpit. The ready-to-run set includes a Spektrum STX2 2.4GHz radio whose lightweight, comfortable design is ideal for long bashing sessions. The ergonomic steering wheel gives precise control, and easily adjustable trim dials make it easy to tune the handling to the personal touch.
