2.4Ghz Mini Wireless Color Camera

toys_2.4Ghz_Wireless_Camera

This is obviously not a hobby item as such, but this 2.4Ghz Mini Wireless Camera can bring great addition to your current hobby toys. Even tho it is intended to be used for things like home security, it can be modified so you can fit it onto your hobby car, helicopter or plane. Being 2.4Ghz does offer a great range on the transmitter for up to 150m (450 feet). The camera it self requires 9V battery to operate so you may have to modify how you place the camera and the battery on your car/heli/plane but it is possible. It is quite good once its set up and it will provide you with great addition when making videos of your toys in action.

2008 Walkera Dragon Fly

2008 Walkera Dragon Fly

One of the most popular RC Helicopters, this Walkera Dragon Fly 6-Channel in 2008 version is one the hottest releases so far. It has better quality control, longer lasting computer board, metal main frame and tail boom. This is ready-to-fly out of the box, and comes equiped with lipo system, meaning it is able to do 3D aerobics capability. We did like it and for such a small heli, its quite lot of fun! If you are looking to get into flying helicopters this will be a perfect choice to start before moving into bigger machines. It is mainly designed to be flown inside or if it’s calm you can take it outside as well, but any wind and it does get hard to control. Thats of course to be expected due to its size. Overall, one of the best value and possible one of the best options entry helis that everyone can enjoy, from young to old.

Losi Micro Desert Truck 1/36 Scale

cars_RC_Losi Micro Desert TruckThere is just one word to describe this Losi Micro Desert Truck, and that would be fun! Right out of the box, this little fellow come with all the items you need to run it. There are batteries, charger and radio to go along with your truck so as soon as you get it you will be ready to go. Once you get it going, this truck can move! It has much better steering when compared to Micro Baja, and if you were to compare other Losi’s micros, this one is much more stable and less twitchy. Strong as anything, this is recommended to be driven inside, but what thing we can suggest is get someone to race and play with and it will be four times more fun!
