HPI Savage 4.6 Monster Truck

We took our Savage down to the local BMX track for some full on jumps and as you’ll see in the video some of the jumps really are massive ... I’m still glad it was still in one piece at the end of the day. You can also see the video in HD over at YouTube (on YouTube just click the ‘watch in HD’ link below the video ... sorry doesn’t let me link directly to it).

Anyway, gotta wish all our loyal visitors a Merry Christmas and I hope you guys have an RC gift waiting for you under the christmas tree smile

Spektrum DX3R DSM2 3CH Surface Radio

Spektrum DX3R DSM2 3CH Surface Radio

While DX3R’s intelligently designed ergonomics are the first thing that catches the eye, it is the superior responsiveness of its advanced 2.4GHz DSM2 technology that will get people talking. In addition to unparalleled freedom and interference protection, DSM2 has a faster response time than any other spread spectrum or PPM system. With it, you will be able to hold the “line” around a track with a level of precision and control unlike anything you have experienced before. And because DSM2 uses direct sequence spread spectrum technology, you’ll maintain this superior response rate no matter how “noisy” the 2.4GHz environment gets.

Novak HV Pro Brushless System 4.5

Novak HV Pro Brushless Systems are specifically designed for R/C cars, and are ideal for monster trucks which makes this prefect upgrade for Traxxas E-Maxx and E-Revo, HPI E-Savage and the Kyosho Twin Force monster trucks. This particular brushless system allows significantly higher speeds and longer run-times than traditional dual brushed motor systems with virtually no maintenance! When driving high-voltage applications such as a Traxxas E-Maxx, Kyosho Twin Force, or Tamiya’s TXT Trucks, you can expect a significant speed gain and still maintain, if not improve, the runtime over stock motors. Because they are sensor-based, the motor always knows the position of the rotor, which provides excellent starting torque and continuous synchronization for smooth, controlled low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. No uncontrolled bursts of power!
If you are looking to upgrade standard truck motor that you have, we believe this is a good option and coming from Novak, we know it is reliable as well.

Exceed RC Red Version of Electric RTR Drift-Star Sports Car

Imagine entering a tight corner at a speed normally reserved for cruising only on freeways. As the vehicle loses its ability to adhere to the ground, you flick the sterring wheel, sliding the tail out. Smoothly applying throttle and countersteer, your vehicle tightly clips the apex of the corner in a controlled sliding motion, while maintaining speed throughout the corner for a fast exit to the next corner. While almost impossible to perform by most drivers, experienced ‘Drift’ experts can slide highly modified cars with high horsepower engines and aggressive aero packages around almost any corner in a controlled fashion. In Japan, this display of controlled tail sliding has originated as a dangerous street sport, gradually evolving in a competitive sport held only on special tracks. While “Drift” competitions are rare outside of Japan, it is rapidly growing in both exposure and popularity.
