The Helion Animus 18SC is the next generation of 1/18th scale performance with an unprecedented set of features and value. This project came to life as a cooperative effort between some of the greatest minds in the RC industry and you, our customers. The premise behind the project set to offer you something different, something revolutionary…value AND performance. Helion R/C design engineers optimized the Animus platform for the latest generation of bashers and enthusiasts. The use of gear differentials and a robust shaft based, ball bearing supported, gear drivetrain reduces maintenance requirements, improves efficiency and performance without compromising value. With the advent and inclusion of crystal-less 2.4 GHz radio technology in the Animus, R/C bashers and enthusiasts can now enjoy using their cars alongside one another instead of worrying about changing or having to buy extra crystals. With a 4200rpm brushed motor and high performance 1100 mAh NiMH battery included, the Animus is equipped to not disappoint with speeds topping 20mph!

www.RCSPARKS.com – ALL INFORMATION IN THIS BOX. PART 1 Of 3 SPECIAL! Watch at the end for linking videos. The EXCEED RC MADBASH 4X4 Electric Short Course Truck – 8TH scale – is simply AWESOME. I couldnt believe what a machine this was RTR out of the box. Items it comes with 1) 2, 2S Lipo Batteries (that run in tandem!) 2) 540L Brushless Motor 3) 2.4 Gigahertz Radio SUPER DURABLE and very well built.. .Two thumbs up in my opinion. Check the Website in the video for current prices – as I do not work for NitroRCX, and independently produced this video. This video is a quick review in the studio and an up close look at the RC overall. Total 5 Stars from me..!

They have taken the approach to design all-new vehicles from the ground up to be fun, durable and affordable electric-powered cars and trucks for people to take their first steps in RC. The first entry from ElectrixRC, the Circuit Stadium Truck, dives head-first into one of the most popular classes for beginners—the stadium truck class. Known for their good handling traits, ability to drive in a variety of areas, increased ride height and more, stadium trucks have quite a following and were a logical way to get started. We had a chance to get some early running with the Circuit Stadium Truck recently to see what 120-bucks got you anyways. Looking at the truck it looks like you actually get quite a bit as the truck features oil-filled shocks, an electronic speed controller, two sets of transmitter and receiver crystals, 20-turn motor and full ball bearings! That’s right, every rotating part of the drivetrain and all four wheels are supported by ball bearings. We loaded up the camera gear, charged up the battery, applied the decals and got ready to hit the dirt running.Questions? Comments?

We knew that the 1/10–scale Desert Truck from Losi was going to be a lot of fun when we first caught wind of it. Upon further inspection we were impressed with the list of features that have been designed into this truck. We had an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the Desert Truck over the course of several afternoons to see how neat this truck truly is. Check out the video below for our comprehensive performance review. For more technical information, you can check out our preview of the Losi Desert Truck on HorizonHobby.com, search Article 1786

Pay attention to Kurt Busch’s comments.

The Losi Micro-Desert Truck packs a lot of fun into it’s 1/36-scale package. Get a unique inside view of this terrific little truck.

Perhaps the hottest segment of RC right now is the Short Course Truck (SCT) Spec class. There are many good reasons for this as the trucks that go head-to-head look great, handle realistically and allow just about anyone to get involved in RC racing on a level playing field at a relatively low price. The latest entry to this class is the new 1/10-scale Losi Strike and it brings a few different things to the party. The Strike features a “backwards” mounted transmission, forward motor location, aluminum threaded body shocks, brushless-ready transmission, LiPo friendly ESC and a 2.4GHz radio system to provide perhaps the most complete RTR in the SCT class to date. I had a chance to get my hands on a pre-production Strike recently and truly got up-close and personal with it. From checking out all the chassis details, diving inside the transmission, inspecting the suspension and more, this was a rare opportunity that I planned on taking full advantage of. With a number of charged Losi LiPo batteries in my pit box and the video camera in the back of my truck I headed out for an early test session at RJD Hobbies and Raceway in Lincoln, IL. The outdoor track at RJD has always been a struggle for me to get my arms around. From its challenging layout and surface I’ve done ok here but I wouldn’t say this was one of my better tracks. When I arrived in the morning the track crew was preparing to ready the track for a warm-up race before the 2009 ROAR 1/8-scale Nationals the following …
