OVERVIEW

Kyosho has beautifully reproduced the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 in 1/10-scale, pairing this American muscle icon with their refined Fazer series chassis. This latest iteration of Kyosho’s touring car platform has undergone a complete makeover, evolving performance through a simplified design that utilizes fewer parts to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce overall weight. Despite the lighter footprint, core strength and rigidity have been significantly increased through the use of new materials and strategic ribbing on the front and rear of the vehicle. The symmetrical chassis design further enhances the driving experience, synergizing excellent front-rear balance with responsive control across various power sources.

The drivetrain is built for durability and high impact resistance, featuring a slipper clutch, front and rear gear differentials, and oil-filled shocks to help drivers unleash the full potential of the car. The inclusion of full ball bearing specs ensures smooth operation and longevity for the internal components.

For those who enjoy customizing their ride, the kit includes brake disc wheel hubs with two different offsets to provide compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm width body styles. Additionally, the wheelbase can be adjusted to 260mm by replacing a few parts, allowing for easy compatibility with other 1/10-scale bodies. This Readyset package comes fully assembled from the factory, requiring only a charger, a chassis battery, and transmitter batteries to get it on the road.

This is a pair of Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks. Pro-Line proudly introduces the next evolution of RC shock performance with the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks, engineered specifically for rock crawling applications requiring an 80mm–85mm length range. Built with precision CNC-machined aluminum shock caps, collars, bodies, and bottom caps, these shocks are designed to deliver durability, consistency, and exacting performance on technical terrain. Hard chrome coated steel shock shafts provide exceptional strength and wear resistance, while X-Ring seals ensure ultra-smooth, low-friction operation and superior leak prevention.

Like other Pro-Spec shocks, these Scalers stand out visually with striking chrome finishes and blue anodizing that bring both performance and scale realism to your build. Measuring within the 80mm–85mm extended length range (depending on rod end configuration), they are ideally suited for modern scale crawler setups that demand controlled articulation without excessive ride height.

Inspired by the proven design philosophy of Pro-Line’s PowerStroke technology, the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks arrive mostly pre-assembled. Simply add oil and they are ready for installation on many popular crawler platforms. Included dual-rate springs deliver realistic scale movement while maintaining the support needed to navigate rocks, ledges, and uneven terrain with confidence.

RPM’s Arrma Grom Upper and Lower Front A-arms (Set A) are engineered for strength where it counts most. RPM added muscular upgrades like 30-degree beveled leading and trailing edges to reduce weight without compromising strength. The A-arm support beams are as much as 32-percent wider than stock. RPM also reinforced the shock mounts, and beefed-up inner hinge pin bosses where possible for next-level toughness.

On top of RPM’s strengthening upgrades, they also added a second shock mount hole on the lower a-arms. Now you can tune your ride to your driving style and track conditions. The second hole sits to the outside of the stock shock mount location. This wider position lowers the ride height and CG, making your Grom a corner-carving monster.

All of this is manufactured in the USA using RPM’s legendary engineering-grade nylon, ultra-lightweight yet virtually indestructible.

Tech Notes: Replaces the front upper and lower A-arms from stock Arrma #ARA330809. Does not fit the Mojave Grom. RPM #72292 does not include pivot balls. Must reuse stock Arrma pivot balls or acquire Arrma #ARA330805 pivot balls. One package includes two upper front and two lower front A-arms.
