HPI Racing have just announced the D8S, having taken a leaf out of the HotBodies book.

The Nitro Star F3.5 engine is powerful enough to keep both [...]
It looks like Kyosho has been working hard recently! These new four wheel drive 1/24th scale Mini-Z Buggies are scale lookalikes of their 1/10th scale counterparts, and come with or without a 2.4ghz radio to allow current Mini-Z owners to use their own radios. Both buggies run on AA’s, are four wheel drive and have oil filled shocks too. Kyosho also include [...]
Waterproofing is the next big thing, thanks Traxxas. But this post is about HPI, specifically their new version of the Blitz RTR with all new, waterproof electronics. The waterproof components include the SC-15WP brushed ESC and SF-10W servo. There’s also a waterproof radio box to protect the newly included 2.4 GHz receiver. Beyond the electronics, other changes include the new [...]

The buggy is packing a 4s ready Flux Rage speed control matched [...]
You know, I think we’ve posted more news from Thunder Tiger in the past month than any other time in this site’s history. That’s a pretty good sign that TT is getting on the ball and coming up with some great new releases. Their newest one is a nitro powered, 1/10 scale sedan that goes by the name of Tomahawk [...]
Surprisingly there’s still some companies out there that haven’t realized the importance of 2.4 GHz radios yet, and they’re still including 27 MHz gear with their RTRs. Or maybe you’re one of the more intelligent fellows that decided to buy a kit rather than a RTR and now you need a radio to go along with it. For both situations [...]
So you’ve been bashing and thrashing monster trucks, short course, or 1/8 buggies and truggies, but you’ve grown tired of them and are looking for something different. Thunder Tiger may have what you’re looking for in their new 1/8 scale Go Kart, the KT8. It’s packed with a brushless system for high speeds, but is it durable enough to live [...]
This is some news from the flyboy side, but it’s just too impressive to pass up. Futaba has announced a new 18-channel, computer controlled, 2.4 GHz transmitter, the 18MZ.

Abbreviations abound in Team Associated‘s latest release, the SC10RS RTR.

We gave you the low-down on the AquaCraft Mötley Crüe Motley Crew FE Catamaran last week, now AquaCraft has uploaded a video of the bad-boy in action. The vid also goes into some details as to what the boat is made of, and I have to say I like the look of those black anodized parts. I might have to [...]
