AKA Announces PreMounted CITYBLOCK and CROSSBRACE Tires On The Pro-5 Wheel

AKA is pleased to announce for the iHobby show the release of pre-mounted tires on our Pro-5 wheel specifically aimed at the Short Course market. We have chosen the CITYBLOCK and CROSSBRACE as our first release on these wheels. These two tread patterns in the Super Soft compound yielded the best results in a variety of conditions during our testing. These Pro-5 pre-mounts also utilize AKA’s innovative and often imitated ground, closed cell inserts for the ultimate in durability and performance. Combine all this with AKA‘s unmatched assembly quality and you get the best 1:8 Short Course tire and wheel combo on the market. These are a great add-on to sell with our Short Course adapter sets for the Slash and the Associated SC10.

AKA Is Pleased To Announce The Addition Of Their “Super Soft” Compound Tires

AKA is pleased to announce for the iHobby show the addition of a “Super Soft” compound to their line up of tires. The “Super Soft” or V compound as is noted in the part number is for cooler conditions when the track is transitioning from wet to a drier hard packed line that is not quite grooved in. Great for winter and early spring racing conditions. Super Soft still retains the relative long lasting wear characteristics that AKA is known for while providing that extra measure of traction for the trickiest of surface conditions. This new compound is available in all tread patterns for both buggy and truggy.

RPM Release Their Tailight Set for Traxxas Slash

Our bumper and roof light sets for the Traxxas Slash and other short course trucks light up the night quite nicely but what about the back? Well, we now have a true-to-scale tail light set for the Traxxas Slash that bolts right on to the RPM rear bumper, taking care of the final piece in the night running puzzle. Our tail lights add that concours winning touch for full-scale realism! With a set of bright white lights out front (using RPM light canister sets, of course!) and a set of RPM red tail lights out back, finding your way around at night has never been easier!

Our Traxxas Slash tail light set comes complete with everything needed to bolt a pair of 3mm LED’s (LED’s not included) to an RPM Slash rear bumper (RPM #81002, #81003 or #81005) including a pair of red tail light lenses, two lens housings and a pair of mounting plates (the RPM mounting plates can be modified to fit other applications such as the Associated SC10 and other short course vehicles as well). The lens housings can also be modified to fit other areas of different vehicles for alternate effects too, such as running a second set of lights as amber marker lights (identical to full-sized short course and Baja racing trucks).

For lighting up what’s out front, we have our light canister sets (RPM #80982 & #80983) as well as our roof-mounted light bar set (RPM #80922, #80923 & #80925). RPM light sets are the best and only alternative for continuing your fun long after the sun sets and the lights go out!

Tech Notes: 3mm LED lights are not included. The RPM mounting plates and lens housings can be modified to fit any number of applications but warranty restrictions do apply. See instructions for more details. RPM tail light sets are designed specifically for the RPM rear bumper for the Traxxas Slash (RPM #80952, #80953 & #80955). Modifications may be made to make them fit other applications but warranty restrictions may apply.

RPM Releases Rear Bumper for the Traxxas Slash

Light Canister Set for RPM Slash Front Bumpers
After releasing our front bumper for the Traxxas Slash, we immediately started receiving customer requests for a rear bumper. In typical RPM fashion, we don’t just make replacement parts, we make the best replacement parts possible! So what sets the RPM rear bumper above all else? We started with our incredibly durable materials and created a bumper that is based off of current full-sized Short Course and Baja style rear bumpers. Full-sized rear bumpers are wide and flat and our scale version is exactly that, for the ultimate in rear-end protection. RPM rear bumpers will stop most rear impacts from affecting the truck in any negative way.

Additionally, RPM rear bumpers for the Traxxas Slash weigh in at a full 9 grams (18%) lighter than the stock version! Lighter is always faster.

What more could we do to make these things incredibly realistic? How about mounting points for mud flaps? That’s right; these bumpers come stock with mounting positions for RPM mud flaps (#81012 - available separately). Now the Slash owner can run mud flaps for ultra-realistic good looks.

RPM rear bumpers for the Traxxas Slash are available in three popular color options – black, blue and chrome. All RPM rear bumpers are sold with all necessary hardware and complete mounting instructions.

Tech Notes:
Although not entirely necessary, we highly recommend the use of an RPM rear bumper mount (#80902 or #80905) for full rear-end crash and bash-proof protection.

Suggested Retail
#81002 Black Rear Bumper $11.95
#81003 Chrome Rear Bumper $11.95 #81005 Blue Rear Bumper $13.95
