In this video RCCA Magazine speaks to a Pro-Line representative about latest new bodies they have available for the Traxxas Slash and more interestingly a new conversion kit that turns your 1/5 scale HPI Baja 5B buggy into a desert truck. According to the rep the kit includes the Proline Desert Rat body, and a set of larger truck tires that are sized to fit the stock rear wheels of the 5B which are mounted both front and rear. The video also showcases a new set of wheels that Pro-Line has produced for this specific application.

In this video RCCA takes a look a close up look at the new Traxxas Summit rock crawler at the IHobby Expo.

You heard right,  Traxxas is planning on producing a 1/16 scale version of the E-Revo powered by a 380 size Velineon brushless system that will propel it up to speeds of 40mph. Traxxas must also be listening to everyone’s demands for an electric version of the Traxxas Slayer because they’re also planning on selling a 1/16 scale “Slayer EX” which will be running a scaled down version of the Revo suspension. Rumor is these will be available by February 2009. More info to come.
