Get ready to hit the trails now with the new SCX10 Ready-to-Run TR (Trail Ready). The TR features a true steel C-channel ladder frame with bolt on shock hoops, molded skid plate, and dual spring oil filled shocks. These are just a few of the items that make this one capable off-road truck. The Dingo truck body is also specifically designed for the trail because it incorporates a realistic molded roll cage and fender flares which are molded in tough durable composite plastics that will withstand the abuse of some of the toughest trail runs. Also when the sun sets, the outings don't stop either because a total of 6 LED's brightly illuminate the trail, so there's no trail too treacherous for the SCX10 TR.

These rigs will we up on the site, ready for purchase this week.

We've just received a new camera set up we're going to be tinkering with. It's small size and power taken from the third channel on a your receiver should make it perfect for recording all you R.C. carnage needs!

We'll let you know what we find out.

If you're looking to improve the traction and handling of your Dnano, check out Atomic's new rear damper plate system.

I'm headed to see my old buddy Luis Diaz who drives for the Lowes team on the American Lemans circuit. The race is at Laguna Seca near Monterrey CA, and I am realy looking forward to hanging out with Luis who is an avid Mini-Z racer and drives one of our AtomicBuilt team cars.

 

I'll try to get some behind the scenes pics and video while I am there.

Check it out 1.9 Rock Crawling fans, Pro-Line offers a weighted one-sided bead-lock wheel for your 1:18 or 1:10 Rock Crawler. These things would work great on a Losi Mini Crawler, Axial SCX10 or your 1.9 scale rig. Check them out here!

The Ford Bronco is a famous American 4X4 off-road vehicle. This 1970's model was among the first series called "Early Bronco" which were produced during 1965-1977. Three types of bodies were released; the fully-open "Roadster," the single cabin pick-up "Utility," and the "Wagon" which had a resin roof. The body featured triangular protrusions on both sides on the curved front hood which worked well as a guide for drivers to accurately measure the body size while driving. The front suspension features coil springs combined with the rigid axle, which was a first for mass-produced 4X4 vehicles and works well both on-road and off-road. The Bronco is still greatly popular around the world, particularly here in America, where many are used as cross-country off-road and rock crawling vehicles.

CR-01 dedicated crawler chassis features heavy-duty ladder frame with strong yet lightweight pressed aluminum channels and resin cross members. The space saved by mounting a compact planetary gearbox enables the battery to be located lower on the chassis for optimum center of gravity.

4-link coil spring suspension provides the flexibility needed to conquer difficult rocky terrain. Inboard dampers are connected to suspension via linkages, which are then connected via stabilizer torsion bar to provide sure-footed balance.

3-piece beadlock wheels are mounted with massive rock crawler tires with 125mm diameter and 56mm width. These work together with the suspension system to generate an impressive amount of ground clearance.

We've been getting a lot of new stuff in lately and here's some shots of the new Mini-Z bodies from Kyosho. Two new Nissan Silvia Formula D bodies and two new Subaru Impreza WRC2008 test cars.  All four of these new auto scales are for the MA-010 AWD chassis, but as with most mini-z bodies you can usually make them work on other mini-z chassis with a little modification.
