Team Associated Apex2 Sport Datsun 620 RTR

In another officially licensed Datsun release, Team Associated has added the Datsun 620 truck to its highly-detailed and fun-to-drive Ready-to-Run RC car line-up.  Like the Datsun 240Z and the A550 Rally Car, the track is built on the budget-friendly Apex2 Sport chassis, the Datsun 620 features some of the latest features in racing.  A front and rear independent suspension with coil-over shocks and active rear toe give the Apex2 Sport the ultimate in handling on uneven tarmac.  With the Datsun 620 a 1970s Japanese classic truck, this superbly designed single-piece polycarbonate body features a highly detailed decal sheet, injection-molded fender mirrors, windshield wipers, and spoiler.  Modelled after wheels from that era, the 1.9 bronze-coloured turbine-style rims are the perfect fit on this realistic-looking Datsun 620.  The included LiPo Combo comes with a Reedy Compact Balance Charger and Reedy 7.4V 2S LiPo Battery with T-plug.

Exotek Losi 22S Wheelie Bar Set

New from Exotek Racing is this wheelie bar set for the Losi 22S drag car.  Made of heavy duty 3mm carbon fibre with a titanium turnbuckle and nylon ends and mounts to the stock chassis and motor guard, it is extra long adjustable wheelie bar for the Losi 22S Drag car and extends from 9.5″ to 12″ (axle to axle). The longer bar gives you more stability, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often compared to the stock short bar. And the flat bar designs adds limited upwards flexing which acts like a shock for softer landings on the wheelie wheels. You are able to finely adjust the wheel height via the 4mm turnbuckle or make large adjustments by adding spacers under the wheel (M3 spacers not included).
