Xtreme Racing has a new 4 mm thick carbon fiber shock tower for the Traxxas 2WD Slash, Stampede, Rustler and Bandit. In addition to being significantly stiffer than the molded plastic piece, the Xtreme Racing version offers more tuning options for inner camber links and upper shock mounts. The Xtreme Racing Carbon Fiber Rear Tower…
As we’re sure you know, maximizing ground clearance is essential for rock crawling. Getting hung up on your skid plate can stop you dead in your tracks. The RC Upgrade Flat Skid Plate is described as having been optimized to increase ground clearance compared to the stock Axial Skid Plate. Instead of hanging down below…
Sometimes walking through the pits at an RC race will make you want to gag. The smell can be just too much. It’s not the racers that stink. Well, maybe it is in the middle of August, but most often it’s everybody applying their secret sauce of traction compound. Add in some tire warmers, heat…
Adding a scale driver definitely ups the realism. Now, you can give that driver something to hold onto to, and he or she better hold on tight because this steering wheel moves. Included in this kit from Yeah Racing is a servo-actuated steering wheel that connects to your radio system and turns in unison with…
If you want a scale interior that will blow people away, you need to check out the Exclusive RC Triple Gauge Straight Lit LED Pod. As a light up version this setup has LEDs with a built in resistor so it can be powered from a 6V to 12V power source. The gauge faces are…
We don’t feature too much on-road RC, but I can’t think of a platform that made as big of an improvement going from one version to the next than the Traxxas 4-Tec. Traxxas legitimately could have gone right to 5.0 when it redid the 4-Tec. The 2.0 is lightyears ahead of the original. With a…
I’m a Ford guy, but I love the new Toyota Tacoma, and even though the redesigned grille took a little getting used to, my head turns every time I see one go by in the Quicksand color. So, when Traxxas announced the TRX-4 Sport would now be offered in the very similarly hued Desert Tan,…
An increase in aftermarket offerings is a great indicator that an RC platform is catching on and not the proverbial flash in the pan. The Element RC Enduro support is certainly growing and the latest option to hit hobby shop shelves is a center driveshaft kit from MIP. Part of its X-Duty line, these shafts…
Muchmore Racing has some new shock pliers that are so versatile that named them, akin to multitools, the Multi Shock-Maintenance Clamp Tool. Made for use with 1/10- and 1/8-scale shocks, these high-leverage “nutcracker” style pliers are made from lightweight aluminum material and anodized in black. The clamp tool is not only for shock shafts; it…
We highly recommend using a LiPo bag when charging. They’re pretty simple devices–if you can even call them that. Yet, as simple as the concept is, Muchmore Racing has released not just a new release but a fourth version of its LiPo Fireproof Safety Bag. Ver. 4 has double covers made fireproof fiber, and Muchmore…
This is a hop-up for a hop-up. The RCRI (RC Racing Innovations) graphite motor plate works with the HR (Hot Racing) aluminum transmission case (part no. TE12HX01) that is designed to replace the plastic case used in the Magnum 272 transmission for the Traxxas Slash, Rustler and Bandit. If you’re into drag racing or speed…
Thanks to Traxxas you can get an RC version of one of the most iconic motor vehicles of all time. Dubbed the original monster truck, everybody knows Bigfoot. The Traxxas RC version sits on the Stampede platform and now features the addition of retro-inspired graphics. So, now the three paint scheme versions offered are the…
It should come to no surprise to you that, at RC Truck Stop, we love trucks. I personally happen to be a big Ford fan. To balance things out, Chris Oswald is a Chevy fan (somebody has to root for the underdog), but this release is for me, not him. This time around, JConcepts has…
These 3D-printed skull-shaped body washers from Fullforce RC are specifically for the Traxxas X-Maxx body. They are available in red, black, white, blue and green. In addition to looking cool, the idea is these will help prevent your X-Maxx’s body screws from ripping through the body. The skull washers are contoured on the bottom for…
BDS Suspension has grown to be one of the better known lift kit and aftermarket suspension component companies in the full-size off-road world and Pit Bull RC now has officially licensed BDS shocks by Kronik. Pit Bull RC states that three years of development were put into these shocks to give you what they are claiming are…
