This Axis body from Pro-Line for the TLR 8ight-XE has been designed with the latest in CAD technology and features a super low-slung design with sharp lines throughout giving it an unmistakable look on the track.

Pro-Line 1972 Chevy C-10 drag truck body

From Pro-Line is this 1972 Chevy C-10 drag truck body specifically designed for the growing no-prep SC drag racing scene. Bowtie fans will love this ultra-scale body that captures all the signature details of this classic truck and will look and perform great going down the drag strip. To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body. It does fit on the AE DR10 with trimming, but your 2wd Slash will require some different parts to fit correctly.

DeadFly 1/12th & TC AWB brass weights

From DeadFly, comes a whole host of brass parts for various classes and cars, starting with 12th scale. This first in class adjustable LiPo weight set AWB is made specifically for 12th scale and GT12. This two piece adjustable set interlocks and allows various options to adjust left to right balance on a traditional transverse chassis layout or more importantly front to rear weight bias adjustment on the inline cars such as the Awesomatix A12. Next up specifically for the A12, these under chassis weights are perfectly designed to adjust the F/R weight bias mounted as low as possible. Also great for balancing the top plate left to right depending on electrics used. Secured via double sided tape with an M3 threaded hole to aid in the removal. Finally their new AWB for full size TC LiPos. Weighing in at 38g it is perfect for modified drivers who utilise LCG packs, the exciting part of the AWB for TC, is it has a 7g bias from centre depending on which orientation you place the weight. So if you’re in the hunt for more steering run the heavier part to the back. More stable feel needed, run the heavier part at the front, it’s that simple.
