welcome back O,

The best "new" I've seen is the new axle pulling pliers from MaxV!

The season is still just now getting underway, as far as the suppliers are concerned. I heard, through a good connection, there might be a new tool or 2 coming for this season. :lol: Keep checking around the Middle of next month.

I just bought two of these for our workshops this season. I haven't tried them yet, but they look like they'll do the job quite well.

I heard from a good source that some new and exciting items will be out soon !

We also know that colored wheels are coming early next year, but may not be for sale until mid year, but will be listed in the scout stuff catalog.

The colored wheels are going to be official stock wheels !

I do not believe they will come in the kit, but be offered like you see the extra wheels being offered now.

You should see the colors and listing in Jan. 100% legal.

Orange, blue and one other color, besides black.

I would have to refind my posting here to be 100% sure on the colors, i am waiting samples to take pics of and show the local packs.

but i have not heard or got anything as of yet. i am thinking this is more a few months away yet before i will get some samples. But I was hoping for now.

I think they will be a big hit, but might not take off right away. i think it's gonna depend on the timing of th release of the wheels.

I know they are also re-working the molds for the wheels.

Yes, re doing the mold for the wheels. all molds.

black colored wheels also.

What I got the impression was, to make a more sporty and faster wheel.
