GPM Racing Products Aluminum Axle Housing for Axial Wraith

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 2:52 pm. Filed in: Axial, New Products

The popularity of the Axial Wraith is quite impressive, they are perhaps the most popular trail/scale rigs that we see when out bashing. The Wraith is a great machine out on the trail but I think some people might buy them even more for their hop-up potential. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bone stock Wraith out on the trail.

Cue GPM Racing Products who have numerous upgrades for the Axial Wraith. One of the coolest parts GPM makes for the Wraith is their alloy axle housing set. The aluminum alloy housing sets are not only tougher than stock but also add a bold bling statement to help your rig stand out in a crowd.

Part number for the axle housing set is #WR012 and it has a street price of $125. Check out THIS LINK for more information on the GPM website.

Schumacher CAT K1 FAB System

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 8:37 am. Filed in: New Products, Schumacher

Ever notice that most 4wd rc cars have too much front brake? Ever fly into a tight corner with your buggy and it pushes like a freight train because the front wheels lock up? Ever wish you could easily adjust the brakes more to the rear so that you could pivot around tight corners?

Schumacher has come up with a simple yet effective way of doing this on their Cat K1 buggy. The new Schumacher FAB (Front Adjustable Braking) System lets you dial in the exact amount of front brakes that you are looking for. Pressure pads are used to go from fully locked (full brake power) to fully backed off that performs like a one way layshaft. The FAB system should make it much easier to dial in the braking of the Cat K1 to any surface and comes with a normal vented slipper clutch on the opposite end.

The part number for the Schumacher FAB is #U4133 and HERE IS THE LINK to the official Schumacher website for more information.

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 1:15 pm. Filed in: Great Planes, New Products

Have you ever flown an rc plane at 130 mph before? Nope, me neither, but sign me up!

The Rifle comes as an ARF, meaning you’ll need to supply a radio system, a motor, speed controller, a battery and a charger. Otherwise the Rifle 1M takes very little in the way of final assembly, meaning you’ll be flying in a jiffy.

The 1M designation is for its wingspan, 1 meter, making it a fairly large size that is both easy to see and control at lunatic speeds. The part number is #GPMA1806, the street price is $160, and it should start hitting shelves in mid May. Click on THIS LINK for more information.
