Futaba was showing off their new 4PL radio system at IHobby. It’s a 4-channel, 2.4 GHz radio aimed at the budget market. Like the other radios in the PL line it is based on Futaba’s FHSS technology, so it is not compatible with the higher-end FASST based PK line. It does feature a very deep menu system, displayed on a [...]
The Losi Micro SCT and Micro Rally have started taking off, but they both come with 27 mhz radios. They actually come stock with a combo unit that contains both the receiver and speed controller, and to make the switch over to 2.4 GHz a bit harder, it comes with a non-standard 5 wire servo. So here’s the scoop on [...]
Those of us that drive boats have, at one time or another, been in a position where our boat was dead in the water. Either the batteries dumped quicker than we thought, or we cut a turn too hard and flipped the thing. Retrieving the boat has become as much an art form as driving it. Whether it’s specially made [...]
We showed you the early video of the XXX-SCT that Losi uploaded yesterday, and now today they have officially released the details. The XXX-SCT is going to be available as a RTR and Bind-n-Drive.

Some of those settings include steering and throttle exponential, end point, and dual rate; ABS braking, brake mixing, and a lot more. The radio also has a 16 model memory [...]
Welcome to day four of DuraTrax Evader DT week here at the Squid. Today I’m taking out the stock electronics and dropping in some mad power and control. The stock Sprint 2 ESC, a fine system for beginners, gets the boot in favor of a Castle Creations Sidewinder ESC. The Photon 2 brushed motor is taken out and put aside [...]
We showed you the video a couple days ago and now Losi has put up the official stats on their web site. I’m speaking, of course, about the new Mini SCT.

Hot chick not included… 🙁 RC4WD is more than just some awesome looking tires. They do radios too. Their new XR4 radio is a purpose built 4-channel, 2.4 GHz radio for competition crawlers and scalers alike. The third and fourth channels on the XR4 are controlled by 3-way switches. They’ll allow you to setup a DIG unit, winch, lights, or any [...]
AquaCraft has revised their highly popular and influential SV27 Brushless (it’s the Traxxas Slash of the boat world…). They added an “R” to the name… … …ha… But that’s not really all that’s new about the SV27R. The already super fast brushless Vee has a new, more powerful motor to make it even faster. And to make sure you [...]
Looks like RCCA got an exclusive first look at the new XTM Racing 1/8 scale Rail. From the pictures they’re sharing on the interwebs the Rail looks a lot like a scaled down 5B (NTTAWWT).
