JConcepts have introduced their next generation Aero S-Type 7” wide rear wing for 1/10th buggies. The wing includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable, more adjustable and ultimately a great tuning piece. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th scale 2WD and 4WD off-road buggies. It features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The new 7” variant of the S-Type wing was used in competition during the 2019 IFMAR Worlds in Trencin, Slovakia for increased rear traction and it comes as a 2-piece set.

Following the introduction of the Axial Racing SMT10 Monster Truck Raw Builder’s Kit, Horizon Hobby also announce the soon release of the Axial SMT10 Grave Digger 4WD RTR Monster Truck. Building on the same SMT10 chassis, the Grave Dogger truck features a 1950s-era panel van body that is as ghoulishly real as it gets, from the trademark graveyard paint scheme and chrome Zoomie headers to the driver figure with glow-in-the-dark helmet. BKT Monster Jam style tyres with foam inserts add more scale realism along with impressive grip and handling on a wide range of terrain. Everything going on beneath the scale body is just as exciting. Axial designers went all out when creating the chassis and roll cage for the SMT10 Grave Digger monster truck. Very similar to those of full-size Monster Jam® trucks, the SMT10 tube frame chassis was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. There are a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, the 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The truck comes factory-built and ready-to-run with updated, improved electronics and radio gear. The Dynamite 550-size motor provides higher torque and top speed for pulling off radical monster truck moves. It’s matched with a LiPo- and NiMH-compatible Dynamite 60A ESC that features forward/brake/reverse, forward/brake and crawler drive modes. The included FHSS 2.4GHz radio gear is all high-quality Spektrum brand equipment. The STX2 2-channel transmitter and SRX200 receiver provide fast response and outstanding range. Equipment needed to get the truck going includes a 2S LiPo battery pack with IC3 connector, four AA batteries, and a suitable charger.

Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Axial SMT10 Monster Truck Raw Builder’s Kit, a 1/10th scale rigid axle MT chassis. Full-scale monster truck tours such as Monster Jam fill arenas with capacity crowds eager to see world-class drivers compete in racing and freestyle events. The designers at Axial Racing have used their crawler expertise to create the perfect platform for bashers who want to build their perfect RC scale monster beast. The Raw Builder’s Kit is centred on the SMT10 tube frame 4WD chassis, which was developed for maximum bashing strength and an extremely detailed appearance. It is very similar to those used in full-size monster trucks. That is why the chassis excels at hard-core action over grass, gravel, pavement and asphalt tracks.

Axial went all out when creating the SMT10 monster truck chassis and roll cage. Very similar full-size Monster Jam truck chassis, the SMT10 tube frame was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. It provides a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, the SMT10 chassis’ 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The AX10 transmission included with the kit is designed to make the most of the motor’s power. Its dual pad slipper system features a pad on each side of the spur gear to increase surface area, resulting in improved tuning precision and holding ability. Strong 32-pitch gearing enhances performance in high-torque applications. The kit comes without body, wheels, tyres and electronics and it will hit stores about mid-January.

Key features:
– Silver 2.2” monster truck wheels included
