RC4WD XR4 2.4 GHz, 4-channel budget radio

Posted by Jeff @ 7:52 pm. Filed in: RC4WD

Hot chick not included…

RC4WD is more than just some awesome looking tires. They do radios too. Their new XR4 radio is a purpose built 4-channel, 2.4 GHz radio for competition crawlers and scalers alike. The third and fourth channels on the XR4 are controlled by 3-way switches. They’ll allow you to setup a DIG unit, winch, lights, or any number of other accessories. The XR4 also features low power electronics that allow it to be powered from only 4 AA batteries. But that’s not all, it also has a 15 model memory, failsafe function, a large backlit LCD display for manual adjustments, and a race tire style steering wheel with a neat faux brake disk and caliper for added style. But the best feature of all, it’s price tag, the XR4 is available for only $89.99.

RC4WD aligns with Dick Cepek Tires for the good of scalers

Posted by Jeff @ 7:32 pm. Filed in: RC4WD

RC4WD is perhaps best known for their small scale off-road tires. Dick Cepek Tires is perhaps best know for their full scale off-road tires. So it only makes sense that one would hook up with the other in an effort to introduce more small scale tires that look like full scale tires. RC4WD now has license to take Dick Cepek full scale tires and make them small scale with all the requisite trademarked and patented details that you scale builders demand.

Their first tire in what is hopefully a broad arrangement is the Dick Cepek Mud Country tire. The RC4WD version features the very detailed tread pattern, raised lettering, and the trademarked “DC” Sitebiters for extra traction in the deep stuff that the full scale version has. It’s available for 1.9″ wheels and is molded in RC4WD’s Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky Compound. It also has internal sidewall reinforcement for extra durability.

Keep an eye on the RC4WD web site for more information that is sure to be coming soon.

RC4WD Traxxas Slash 4×4 and 2WD Wheels

Posted by Brian @ 10:49 am. Filed in: RC4WD, Traxxas, Traxxas Slash

The good people over at RC4WD are showing some love for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 and 2WD Slash! First up on the left are the first functional custom billet beadlock wheels for the Slash 4×4 called the Outlaw 2.2/3.0 Racing Wheels. They weigh 5.8 ounces each, have the same offset as the stock wheels and are designed only to fit the Slash 4×4. They only work with Traxxas Slash stock tires, so keep that in mind if you are looking to buy a set.
They have also released the Shock Lightweight Beadlock Wheels for the Slash 2WD. They are very scale looking, lightweight plastic beadlocks, and can be used with Proline and RC4WD 2.2/3.0 tires.

RC4WD Boyer 1/10 scale Truggy

Posted by Jeff @ 12:25 am. Filed in: RC Rock Crawling, RC4WD, rock crawling

Hey rock crawlers, here’s something new for you from RC4WD, check it out. They’re putting out a new 1.9″ class scaler kit, called the Boyer 1/10 Scale Truggy, that may be the most versatile and adjustable chassis ever made by an r/c manufacturer. I mean, look at it. Look at all those holes everywhere. The mind boggles at how many different ways you could set this chassis up.

Here’s just a short list of all the things that are adjustable on this chassis:

Adjustable wheelbase
Multiple shock mounting options
Adjustable frame mounted servo — adjusts front to rear and up/down
Adjustable rock sliders. Adjust in/out and front to back to fit any body.
Front bumper can be adjusted front to rear and up/down with a plate to mount a winch.

Beyond all that, the complete kit comes with RC4WD’s popular and durable T-Rex axles, a full compliment of their OEM Steel 1.9″ wheels, some fat Rock Crusher meats, full ball bearings, dual spring shocks, a Bulldog 9500XT metal winch, plus more. The kit is designed to fit Tamiya’s Hilux, F350, and Tundra hard bodies, or it can be adjusted to fit any other polycarbonate bodies. If you don’t want the full kit, you can also get the chassis by itself and then mix-and-match your favorite parts.

The kit has a going price of $599.99 while the chassis only option is set at $299.99. Find out more about this John Boyer engineered piece of art at the RC4WD web site.
