Happy Fourth of July everyone!! Independence Day is a great time to spend outdoors having fun (but I’m sure that this year many will spent time inside binge watching on Netflix the third series of Stranger Things). It’s also a great day for some adventure crawling so the Traxxas staff decide to hit the rocks on beautiful Mt. Rubidoux with two fully-outfitted TRX4 Sport trucks.

Axial Fest is definitely the most popular event for rock crawling and scalers but the “By The Fire” (organized by ProLine) is growing each year. The guys at RC4WD just posted a short event recap video of the 4th edition that has been held on 18th May at Apple Valley in California.
Camping, Multiple Rock Crawling Trails, GPS TREASURE HUNT, Scale Builder Competition at “Scale City” and more!
Pro-Line have revealed the super detailed “Late Model Interior” dedicated to scale truck fans! This brand new kit features bucket-style front seats and a modern dash and center console to add an additional touch of realism to your rig. The interior was designed for ideal fit with both of Pro-Line’s 2017 Ford Raptor Crawler Bodies (3509-00 & 3516-00) and can also be made to fit other model truck bodies with trimming.

RC fans around the World have come up with several methods to give to super popular Axial Wraith 2.2 rigs smaller wheels for closer-to-scale proportions, but the new Wraith 1.9 RTR is the first one created by Axial designers to deliver “bashability” and technical rock crawling capability while running on 1.9 wheels and tires.
Traction Hobby published the first promotional video of their new Founder II 1/8th Scale Rock Crawler. The chassis uses a 4-Link suspension system with 90mm metal shock absorbers, aluminum front and rear axle and steering system that allow the wheels to get to a 45 degree angle.

Horizon Hobby presented the updated version of the budget 1/18th Scale Rock Crawler ECX Temper Gen2. This new and improved version builds upon the original Temper with an updated aluminum steering hardware, front hubs and axles. The model is Ready to Run and come with a 380-size 32T Brushed motor, waterproof electronics, Battery, Charger and 2-Channel Transmitter.
The LED light bar keeps the fun going even after the sun goes down. A true 4-link suspension with improved articulation and strength is a substantial upgrade, while the larger servo mount and aluminum steering links allow for bigger servos to handle a higher power output.
