I’m not 100% sure how much of this is actual spy video, or if it’s just a first look promo video from Schumacher Racing, but it’s some footage from a rc track in the UK of the Schumacher 2wd Cougar SV. The buggy looks pretty quick cruising around the crazy carpeted off road track.

Check the official Schumacher Racing site for more details.

Check out this teaser of the new Pro-Line Racing sc tire called the Caliber! We don’t have any more details about it then that.. looks pretty cool! I’m sure we’ll have plenty of pics of it from the iHobby show! This must be an early prototype, because the tires don’t even have the familiar Pro-Line logo or name on the sides!

Head over to Pro-Line Racing for more body info!

The Traxxas Slash has made a huge impact on our hobby. Even though it may look scale on the outside, the internals of the chassis hardly resemble the full size CORR trucks it takes after. RC4WD and a member of the scale RC community, Katan, are collaborating to change all that. Their creation is the Hardcore Chassis for Slash. Made entirely of aluminum, this chassis conversion is designed to have the Slash front-end bolt on. Not much else of the original truck is retained. The rear axle duty will be handled by a modified Wheelie King unit. The conversion kit is still in development, but it’s cool to see the scale segment of our hobby continue to grow.

So I made a few phone calls to our spys in the trenches and came up with these. I have been told that these are still in testing, and both vehicles may change before we see them for sale. This first vehicle is being called the CEN Baja Matrix STX. It’s a cool new trophy truck from CEN Racing based on the Matrix Buggy platform with a few changes including tires, wheels, body mounts and suspension. I think this will be a fun vehicle at the track for sure!
This next vehicle is a new monster truck! I was asked to not mention the name of the truck because it is still early, and might not end up being the final name. I was told it should be very competitive with the Savage as far as speed, durability and performance goes. It will be running a new Corsa .28 engine which is a new Italian brand of engines! I’m a big fan of the Genesis, so having a smaller version I think could be pretty cool!

Have a spy shot you would like to show off? Drop me an email, lets talk! I will keep any names/companies/information completely confidential!
