Pro-Line’s new Apocalypse shell is the perfect topper for your Traxxas Summit, with styling suitable for urban pacification, zombie control, or any type of post-nuclear-meltown mutant situation you’ve got brewing.  We also spot a touch of  International Maxx Pro in the design, and we can definitely see a few Road Warrior-themed builds happening with this body. As always, […]

Traxxas Updates the 100MPH XO-1

The industry’s original (and so far, only) 100mph RTR has received a styling refresh (the original release had no graphics) and now arrives without batteries, which knocks a chunk out of the price. No changes to the specs, which means you’re looking at 6S-rated Castle Creations power, shaft-driven 4WD, functional aero, and Traxxas’ unique TQi […]
