I put together a quick video I shot while doing our iHobby Expo 2008 demos for the crowd. Sadly, because I was the guy on the mic as well, I didn’t get nearly as much footage as I would of liked! Next year I’ll have to get a MC or cameraman. Anyway.. enjoy.. it’s short and sweet. Thanks again to [...]
The iHobby Expo 2008 pictures just keep coming! I’ll try not to overload the front page, so you will probably have to click the ‘read more’ button or something on the bottom to see the rest. The LargeScaleRC guys are cool. They don’t even beat me up when I do stuff like [...]
We still have a bunch of iHobby Expo 2008 pictures that we haven’t published, so I think we’ll just post them up in sections. I don’t want to overload the page here with pictures, so you will probably have to click the ‘read more’ button or something on the bottom to see the rest. These first few pictures are [...]
O’Donnell Racing has issued a press release talking about their new O’Donnell Z01-T Truggy. It’s 1/8 scale, 4WD, and built to race! I had the pleasure of talking to ‘THE’ Steve O’Donnell himself last week. He’s really a great guy, and cool to talk to every time I see him. They really put a lot of thought [...]
Duratrax has put out the full press release on their new 1/18th scale Vendetta TC. It’s a 1/18th scale touring car, it comes RTR with 4WD! I got a chance to check it out at the iHobby Expo last week, and it was a pretty sweet looking car. The full press release will [...]
During the iHobby show, I made a quick stop over in the Axial Racing booth to say hello, and to see what new goodies they had coming in the near future. I think the coolest was the Bender Customs SWX Chassis kit. The setup looked pretty darn cool, and it looked like a true upgrade that [...]
I’m pretty sure that the first few times I walked the show floor, these vehicles were not anywhere to be seen. Then one late evening, just before the show was closing for the day I spotted these two vehicles on a counter in the Thunder Power RC booth! The 1/16th scale looked sweet! The sign [...]
So let’s jump right into the good stuff. What was the hottest news at the show (besides the BigSquidRC and IMEX booth babes)? It was a hard call this year. I think the general consensus would have to go to the Traxxas Crawler. It was on display in all it’s glory, and looked really gnarly. Although, in my opinion, it looked [...]
Since we already covered the big 1/16th scale news from Traxxas, I figure we better show the Traxxis Summit pictures we took. The coolest thing about it, remote locking differential. Lock and unlock on demand from the remote. You can see the extra mini servo’s inside that make this happen. The truck itself [...]
Here are the pictures of our final winners of the weekend! Anyone can go buy a Traxxas Slash or a Schumacher Rascal, but I don’t even have a Tim Mohr autographed body! This has to be the biggest smile ever recorded! Wow was he happy! Congratulations to all the winners [...]
I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone that made this year’s iHobby Expo such an amazing experience. I’m not sure I can put into words the feelings I have had these last four days. From the thousands of screaming fans (literally.. wait for the video in a few days!) to the [...]
Wow!! What a public day for the show. We will have some full write ups soon, but it’s back to the show, and I wanted to get out a quick update! First off the show was packed! TONS of people. Second, Big Squid RC easily had the BEST demos and crowd reactions ever! Ask anyone that was at the [...]
Yesterday we reported on the new 1/16th scale vehicles E-Revo and Slayer EX, and today we have a few more pics with the prototype bodies! Even more important is the new 2.4ghz TQ radio from Traxxas! Wow! I didn’t see this one coming either. I don’t really have a lot of details on it, and will do my best [...]
What a great show iHobby has been so far. We have met a ton of people this year. We have also had a chance to meet a lot of fans of the site which is really great! Now and then we tend to forget that more then just friends and family actually read the reviews and articles up [...]
Ok, this was probably the biggest surprise of the iHobby Expo for 2008 so far! Hidden away in this little glass case were these two VERY early prototypes, so early, that they were almost models. The 1/16th E-Revo featured a brushless motor, while the Slayer EX had a brushed setup. They have oil filled shocks, [...]
