 February 3rd, 2010 Pro-Line’s Chassis Saver is now available for the Traxxas® Slash® Enthusiasts. Never again will you have to worry about a broken chassis ruining you race or play day.
During track testing of the ever popular ProTrac™ kit for Slash®, it became clear to the Pro-Line development team that the the short course truck’s chassis had a weakness resulting in numerous broken chassis and shortened track sessions. To resolve the issue, the Pro-Line team machined up a hand full of “chassis savers” that would strengthen the rear shock tower mounting ears and commenced with testing. Now these components are being made available so that you to can enjoy a bulletproof Slash®.
Features:
- Makes breaking the rear shock tower mounting ears off your chassis virtually impossible.
- CNC Machined from 7075 Aircraft Aluminum
- Hard Anodized Black Finish
- Simple installation

February 3rd, 2010 Pro-Line’s 1:10 Caliber 2.2″ Truck Tires now available. For the 1:10 Off-Road Enthusiasts, pick your class, weather it’s Mod, Stock or Gas truck, but when it comes to tires… the choice is clear, it’s Pro-Line’s Caliber 2.2″ Truck Tires.
The Caliber takes tire technology to the next level by optimizing traction, control, balance, and tire wear with its dual-stage design. The smaller top pin penetrates through loose dirt while delivering unbelievable side and forward bite. The base pin works as a support for the top pin while acting as a dual-stage design once the top pin is worn down. You can rely on the base pin for greater tread life wear and it works well on those tracks that are prone to blue-groove or have a super clean surface.
Tire Features:
- Dual-stage pin design for exceptional tread life
- Small top pin for light to heavy loose dirt
- Base pin extraordinary on hard-packed/blue-groove surfaces
- Square-lug technology throughout the tread design
- Directional tread design
- Available in World Championship/extremely proprietary M3 (Soft) compound
- Internal sidewall ribbing for lateral support and increased cornering control
- Cut foam included

February 2nd, 2010 Exclusive interview with Scott Hughes… The New global sales manager at Axial Racing.
Scott Hughes is a close partner at MyRCBox.com. In fact, I email Scott more often than any other person in the industry. With time, I think, we have developed a “kind” of mutual friendship. He always takes the time to answer my questions. I don’t know him personally but I think he is the kind of guy who is passionate by his work and by R/C. I’ve always heard good words about him. His recent move to Axial Racing took us by surprise. So, I have decided to ask him few questions…

January 29th, 2010 Are the mid-size big block engines back?
OS Engines have announced last October 2009 their new “truggy” engine, the OS MAX 25XZ. Since then I’ve searched the web for more information but nothing have been written since the press release in October 2009. Nothing on the www.osengines.com neither. That’s strange but this is not the point of this article.
The OS MAX 25XZ engine is the answer to people who wants an engine with more torque than a .21 engine and a better fuel economy than a .28. If we go back few years. There were many .25, .26 and .27 engines on the market. And suddenly, the trend was .21 and .28 engines only. I’m happy that OS Engines is coming out with a .25 engine. Knowing OS Engines, I’m convinced the OS MAX 25XZ will be a great engine.
By the way, here are the specs
- Displacement: 0.25 cu in (4.09 cc)
- Bore: 0.689 in (17.5 mm)
- Stroke: 0.669 in (17.0 mm)
- Practical RPM: 4,000-39,000
- Output: 3.1 hp @ 33,000 rpm
- Weight: 13.05 oz (370 g)
My question is… Do you think the trend for “mid-size” big block engines is back?
