BLACK HELMET SET
Axial Racing products have always been very true to scale and realistic appearing. In many cases, this is due to the inclusion of the interior and a driver or driver/passenger (whichever is appropriate). The black helmet set pictured here is designed to be used with the Yeti Rock Racer and Deadbolt bodies. The helmet set comes complete with decals to allow the drivers some ‘individuality’ when installed in the vehicle. Part # AX31049 – $15.00
LRP AMERICA lrp-americastore.com
VTEC CPX PRE-GLUED CARPET TIRES & WHEELS LRP
America continues to offer an amazing line of products that are dedicated to the racer. The CPS tires/wheels shown here are assembled from the wheel outward to be used on the high grip carpet that is the norm at on road races. These wheels/tires are matched with consistent compound rubber and inner foam creating a tire that is perfect for spec (or controlled tire) racing. Part # 65031 – $35.99
