Our friends over at Ares have just announced their new Chronos CX 100 RTF helicopter.

The CX 100 comes with a digital on-board camera that can be used to shoot [...]

We have mentioned the first 2 episodes before because there is always some sort of cool RC shots happening, from cars to quad’s and heli’s, and the Monster Energy Motorcycles vs Car Drift Battle 3 is more of the same goodness! Some intense large heli 3D action around the 8:50 minute mark also. There are some pretty interesting full scale [...]
Heli-Max Axe 100 SSL Brushless Helicopter ReviewWhen we saw the original press release for the Heli-Max Axe 100 SSL, we were sort of blown away by what they were claiming, and what you could get for the price. When it comes to heli’s, we haven’t really done much in the way of reviews except for some ‘dual blade’ stuff, [...]

Brushless/Lipo power systems have done incredible things for what rc helicopters can do, case in point is the new 600 X Pro from the crew over at Blade. Not only does it come with a powerful E-flite Heli 700 500kv brushless motor, but the rest of the helicopter has been designed to take full advantage of massive power, resulting in [...]

Heli-Max has a new helicopter on the market, the famed Sikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK. The first thing you’ll notice about it is the incredible scale detail that it has.

There are “fast” servos, then there are “OMG FAST”! I think the new Hitec HSG-8315BH falls into the “OMG FAST” category. The 8315 was designed for use as the tail rotor servo on helicopters, but with its Karbonite gears and dual bearings it should make a good option for low torque surface applications. Its specifications at 7.4 volts are- * Speed- [...]
