Traxxas TRX-4 Traxx deep-terrain treads

Posted: 14 Feb 2020 11:15 AM PST

Traxxas have introduced their new deep-terrain treads for the TRX-4 Traxx system that extend the all-terrain abilities of Traxx-equipped vehicles to extreme surface conditions like deep snow, sand, and mud. The purposefully-engineered treads dig deep and pack into loose surfaces for maximum bite to power through the most challenging conditions. The wide contact patch provides additional flotation to keep your Traxx-equipped model running strong on top of loose surfaces.

VRP PR Racing XV3 shock pistons

Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:28 AM PST

Vision Racing Products are busy adding more XV3 shock pistons to their ever growing range with the latest offerings being made especially for the PR Racing line of vehicles. Available as Black Flat and EU version white variants, the pistons come complete with the transition valve pre-installed. The rebound booster hole has been precision drilled to the exact size VRP’s testing found to be the best all around setting. This yields excellent results that are proven on a variety of track surfaces; from rough, blown out tracks, to smooth, indoor clay. The difference between the Black Flat and the EU White pistons is the return rate. The return hole in the EU is smaller then the Black and gives less rebound. This matches up better for higher grip surfaces like carpet and turf. The pistons are available as 2-hole 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 standard and “EU Version” variants from now on.
