Traxxas Slash & Slayer Replica shells
New for the Slash and Slayer, Traxxas’ new race-team replica bodies are fully licensed for authentic good looks. The new available body styles include Rick Huseman’s Fabtech and the Amsoil trucks of Scott Douglas and Mike Oberg and all the major decals and graphics are factory applied to duplicate the signature style of short-course racing’s top drivers, and additional decals are included to finish off your replica shell as a Pro 2WD or Pro 4WD machine. The bodies are pre-trimmed for speedy installation with just a reamer; mounting dimples make it easy to select the correct post locations for both cars.

Sanwa / Airtronics M11X radio system
Sanwa, or Airtronics as they are known to others, have released details on their new M11X. This the first of the M11 family to have the 2.4Ghz system integrated into the transmitter, before opting to have just a different module. The Japanese company claim that their new 2.4 system is 3 times faster then previous versions, making for a much more responsive system. The radio itself has only received some small cosmetic changes, due to the integration of the 2.4 system and now features a top mounted stubby aerial.
