Horizon Hobby have announced the soon release of the new Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited ready-to-run trail buggy.

Its Currie F9 portal axles provide extra ground clearance at the diff pumpkin for the best crawling performance.

The Capra features a realistic tube chassis design and metal gears everywhere, from the centre transmission to the lockers and portal axles.

Kyosho have announced the soon release of two new balance weights for the Ultima RB7 buggies. First up is the 28g LDW rear weight that was designed to be mounted under the lowdown gearbox of the RB7 and RB7SS kits. Using the part will shift the weight balance toward the rear, increasing rear traction when running in low to high-grip track conditions. Also coming soon is the 32g battery weight that will slide under the battery, upping the overall weight when using standard or LCG shorty battery packs. The higher weight comes in handy in a variety of track conditions as it can calm down the ride over bumpy parts of a track while countering traction rolling on high-bite surfaces. The weight comes laser-engraved for easy identification and it is usable with both the RB7 and RB7SS.
