The item comes machined from high-quality aluminium and it incorporates an adjustable servo mount, relocating the steering servo to the front of the vehicle while maintaining the correct steering geometry.

The bumper mount is available in three different colours and it sports a laser-etched logo for looks.

This new and improved version builds upon the original Temper’s reputation and it sports a stylish and aggressive look with matching wheel rings, plus hidden compartment for the battery tray. The LED light bar keeps the fun going even after the sun goes down. A true 4-link suspension with improved articulation and strength is a substantial upgrade, while the larger servo mount and aluminium steering links allow for bigger servos to handle a higher power output. Designed for the consumer looking to join the scale movement, this crawler has everything needed to attack any terrain. Its high torque 380-size 32T brushed motor and waterproof electronics make hitting the trail easy. The ready-to-run set includes the factory assembled vehicle, a 2.4GHz radio system as well as a 900mAh battery and a suitable wall charger. The Temper Gen2 is also available in a blue colour body variant with matching wheel rings.

Made for Arrma’s Kraton BLX truck is an exclusive Finnisher design body from JConcepts. The new lid for the Kraton BLX polishes off an already beastly truck. The Finnisher is a proven winner on the race track, but its appeal on and off the racing line makes it perfect for the ultimate speed-run and basher vehicle. The body incorporates pre-dimpled locations for one of the quickest bashers on the circuit. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique Kraton shock geometry. The body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Extended 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. The Finnisher has a built-in air escape passage on the roof which allows the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes champion rear name plates which provide additional high-speed stability and improved positioning of the rear bed rails to strengthen the assembly. Overall handling has been improved by balancing the bias between the cab location and rear wing placement which control the majority of the aero affects of the aggressively styled body. The body is an exclusive design for Horizon Hobby and available only through Horizon Hobby Distributors and jconcepts.net.
