New goodies spotted at r/c trade show.


MIP CVD for AX10-These would be a nice upgrade to the stock one's MIP has a rep of making strong CVD's price is around $55.00 a set front or rear. Mid May Release
MIP Drive Shafts AX10-I feel these would be one of the best upgrades to the stock drive shafts. These are beefy and I can't wait to get them on my rig. These things are heavy duty and the output shafts are well protected don't think these will break. $55.00 for the set front and rear. Mid May release.
Proline-Flat Iron tires these look they could be a awesome tire, plenty of tread and even on the sidewall of the tire. They come with either stock foam insterts or memory foam inserts. Mid May $20.00 pair.
Proline-Hammers-Another great looking tire, reminds me of the Losi Rock Claws these are also avaiable in the standard and memory foam. Have these in the shop this coming week. $20.00 pair.
Hardbodz-New tube style chassis, you can see it on rccrawler.com in the section about the RCX show that was in LA. I have 5 total on order they make it in two models, same frame construciton but one is a pro model with carbon fiber mounted to the tube chassis. The frame includes the panels and decals or you can just paint it yourself if you want. These are not cheap, but is well built and should give you a ton of options for chassis setup. The standard chassis will come in around $165.00 and the pro around 190.00. Im hoping the prices might come down on these but will see. Should have them in the shop by the end of May.
Also saw a couple of companies that make some nice upgrade aluminum part like knuckles,hub carriers,transmission plates,ext. Good prices on these upgrade and quality was nice.
Just a side note the guys at Axail are awesome. This is a very small company met the pres and vp talked with them about lots of cool stuff. If anyone ever has a question call or email them they are more than happy to help out.
