Budget radios are everywhere these days and HPI is not one to be left out of the fun. Their TF-20U radio, which has been the 2.4 GHz pack-in radio for many of their RTRs, is now available separately. Being a budget radio it’s not big on features, having only 2 channels, a steering dual rate switch, throttle and steering trims, [...]
The Futaba mothership is showing off a new entry level radio. Now I don’t read Japanese, but from various other sources I was able to cobble together that the new 3PRKA will be a 3 channel, 2.4 GHz radio with some minor features such as trims and servo reversing, possibly more. It’s going to be targeted at RTR owners that [...]
Well, this looks like the start of something that the public will enjoy seeing played out on the internets.I haven’t been keeping track, so I’m not sure if Han shot first, but I’m guessing this isn’t going to be a one shot fight. Futaba vs Spektrum… FIGHT! Want to know how our first test of transmitters played out? Make sure [...]
Another announcement from the HPI camp at the big German toy fair is an update to the Savage X 4.6. Quite a bit has been changed in this new version, it now comes with a 2.4 GHz radio system, waterproof servos, a new body style with all new graphics, and most importantly more durable diff gears with a larger tooth [...]
HPI is taking their ultimate basher and scaling it down. Right now they are referring to it as the “Small Scale” Savage. It’s a completely new design for 2011 and features the looks and style it’s big brother. The chassis is that familiar Savage TVP design, the drive train is shaft driven 4wd with metal gears, and the electronics package [...]
Axial really wants the budget bashers to open up their wallets today. Their new, low-cost, 2.4, 2-channel radio is about as bare bones as you can get. The AX-2 features throttle and steering trims, plus servo reversing. And… a wheel for steering… and a trigger for throttle control… oh and there’s an on/off switch too! Ok, so it doesn’t really have [...]
Airtronics has been spending some time cooking up something new. The MT-4 is their new mid-range radio with all kinds of high-end features. It starts with a new, light weight pistol grip design that features adjustable steering movement, trigger, and a selection of grips. But more important is what’s packed inside. The onboard computer features a fast navigation system to [...]
Today we got our Venom dirtbike, the VMX 450 Brushless RTR! The box is well done, nothing mind blowing, but better than average. When I first opened it up, it was actually bigger than I expected. We don’t see a lot of bikes in our area, just a couple now and then on the on-road track, but [...]

Wait no more, Core RC is here with their new CODE Sport 2.4 GHz FHSS radio. This low-cost, 2-stick wonder is about as bare-bones as you can get in [...]
Taiwanese outfit AMR (who?) has a brand new RTR 1/12 scale nitro buggy ready for your consumption. Called the Gears 10, this new buggy is 4wd and looks the part of it’s much larger 1/8 scale counterparts. The drive train is shaft driven, with durable gear differentials at either end, and also includes a slipper clutch, housed beneath a [...]

It’s also ready to hit the track right out of the box with plenty of racing features, such as front and rear anti-roll bars, adjustable [...]
Since iHobby Expo we have been talking about the new Futaba 4PL. One reason we kept talking about it around the office was that we were working on the Transmitter Shootout and the 4PKS and 3PL were really doing well in our testing. The 4PL seems like it is a step in [...]
