One of the biggest issues Maxx owners reported was exposed mounting screws. On the stock skid plate, hard impacts and grinding abrasion can damage the screws, which can also lead to damaged bulkheads. Damaged bulkheads turns a simple scrape into an expensive, time-consuming repair.

RPM solved that problem by redesigning the skid rib layout to isolate and protect the mounting screws from direct contact. Instead of the screws taking the hit, the RPM beefy skid ribs absorb the punishment while providing long-lasting wear surfaces for maximum durability.

The RPM Front Skid Plate also adds a third skid rib, compared to the stock two-rib design. That extra rib means even greater abrasion resistance, improved strength and longer life under extreme driving conditions. Whether you’re launching big air, bashing hard or grinding across rough terrain, this skid plate is ready for the punishment.

Pair it with the RPM Rear Skid Plate (#72222) for the ultimate Maxx underbody protection package.

Like all RPM products, these skid plates are proudly made in the USA and backed by RPM’s limited lifetime warranty. Tougher design. Smarter protection. Built RPM strong.

Tech Notes: The RPM Front Skid Plate for the Traxxas Maxx replaces stock Traxxas #8944 (front skid plate only).

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.

OVERVIEW

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.
