Pro Line Trencher 2.2" tires for 1:16 E-RevoPerhaps the favorite bash tire around the BigSquidRC offices is the Pro-Line Trencher. Trenchers are famous for their long life and providing good traction on a variety of surfaces.

Recently the crew over at Pro-Line posted a “Sneak Peek” of their upcoming Trencher 2.2 for 1:16 E-Revo. Soon all you 16th scale E-Revo drivers will be able to enjoy all the great characteristics of the Trencher too. We’ll have more information on the 2.2 Trencher soon, until then hit up the official Pro-Line Website to see all the other goodies they have.

RPM axle carriers for Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo and Mini SlashRPM is at it again and once more the beneficiaries of their generous nature are the owners of Traxxas‘ selection of mini trucks, the 1/16 E-Revo and Mini Slash.  These axle carriers, made out of the notoriously tough RPM Material, are among the most requested parts from you guys, so says RPM.  Even more proof that one of the most awesome manufacturers in the industry is worthy of such praise.  You spoke, they listened.  As with most RPM parts these axle carriers are available in red, blue, or black, so you can match them to your aesthetic tastes.  These new parts are available now at a MSRP of $12.95 per pair.

For more info hit up the RPM web site.

Have you been sitting there, staring at your Mini E-Revo, thinking “you know… this truck just isn’t blue enough…”  Or maybe red is more your color.  Think no more because RPM has a few new parts for you that WILL make your truck bluer… or redder… which ever you prefer… GUARANTEED!

The new RPM front and rear bumpers will do more than just add a splash of color to your ride though.  You’ll also be adding to the “scale” (I use that word loosely) looks of your M-Rev because these bumpers are designed after that twin tubular style that is popular with full scale off-roaders.  And of course they are molded in RPM’s legendarily tough RPM Material, making them super strong and lightweight.  And, most importantly, they are almost double the width of the stock bumpers, offering that much more protection for your expensive little toy.

Oh and for you Emo kids out there they also offer them in black, so you don’t have to worry about anybody giving you that attention you crave so much.

The front bumper will set you back around $9, the rear is probably gonna go for $10ish.  Check your local hobby shop early next month for these.  Head on over to RPM’s site for more info.

Trinity (Epic?) has a cool new wheelie bar for the Traxxas minis.  Made out of black anodized aluminum, this prostock style mono-wheel wheelie bar is said to help you keep straighter wheelies going.  It’s a quick bolt on accessory that will add to the cool factor of your 1/16 E-Revo and Mini Slash.

MSRP is $22.99 and it should be on shelves soon if not already.  Check out the Epic (Trinity?) web site for more info.

Traxxas e-revo wheelie bar Traxxas e-revo wheelie bar

Having trouble keeping your Mini E-Revo on it’s wheels? Traxxas has just come out with their own Wheelie Bar! It has four snap in adjustment positions, to keep the front tires planted in those quick starts, or to keep them ridding high for showing off that power plant, without ending up on your lid!
The wheelie bars will cost about $15, and are probably a pretty good investment. I know we will be picking up a set for ours!

For more info check the Traxxas Website.

Traxxas min revo

Just got word from Traxxas about their new 2.2 Pro S1 Compound Tires and Dish wheels for the 1/16 E-Revo VXL. These are engineered for competition grade traction and performance. They widen the E-Revo by 14mm, and the 12mm hexes allow the Traxxas 2.2″ dish wheels to be used on other 1/10th scale buggies as well.

For more info check the Traxxas Website.

RPM mini e-revo a-arms RPM mini r-revo a-arms
I think everyone who’s looking to bulletproof their Traxxas Mini E-Revo already knows that RPM makes some must own a-arms, but I bet you didn’t know they now come in red! I guess it’s a little test on their part to see if people are interested in the red color. I have a feeling they will be. Upper and lower a-arms come in a set for front or rear.

Don’t know how I missed this one but here it is now. JConcepts designed this hi-Flow shell out of their heavy-duty polycarbonate and scaled it with a very low roof line and maximum window coverage while sporting scale inspired front fenders.
