The crew over at Top Flite have just posted a new video on their Giant Scale Spitfire ARF. The video showcases the aerial abilities of this huge, perfectly scaled beast. The Giant Scale Spitfire ARF sports a wingspan of over 86″, a street price of right at $750, and it should be hitting your local hobby shop any day now.

lego_caterham

Spotted this over at TheAwesomer.com. It’s a completely home built and amazingly detailed RC Lego Caterham in 1/7th scale. It has disc brakes, 5 speed + reverse, full suspension and the engineering underneath is mind blowing. Even the controller is built from scratch. If your a detail nut, or a LEGO fan, check out the video.

Thunder Tiger 1/8 MT4-G3
The crew over at Hobbico have just released a new action video for the Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 monster truck. The MT4-G3 won our “Bash Vehicle of the Year” in 2011, and now it’s even better, coming with a new radio system and waterproof speed controller. We highly recommend the MT-G3 if you are a hardcore basher, it’s fast, tough, and great fun to drive.

The new part number is #6401-F111 and it has a street price of around $590. The latest edition of the Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 should be hitting hobby shop shelves in late May.

Video Pro-Line body mounts
The crew over at Pro-Line have just posted a new video showing you the step-by-step process of installing their extended body mounts on your short course truck. From cracking open the bag to the final touches, they walk you through every step to make sure your new body mounts go on perfectly.

We’ve used the Pro-Line extended mounts on several projects around the office, they work well and they come with the uber Pro-Line washers/body clip replacements! Hit up THIS LINK on the official Pro-Line website to view some of the body mounts they offer.

slam

We just posted the ECX Revenge Review. While going through some video footage, we caught this accidental wall slam that seemed like something we should share. Usually we do this stuff on purpose, this one was out of the blue, got lucky, and caught it. Enjoy!

That’s one of those slams that just makes you cringe. For the record, I believe Adam or I were driving in the first two test laps you see, and then we handed the transmitter over to Wrench.

tactic_ttx650650

Recently we posted some information about the Tactic TTX650 Transmitter. Well, Tactic just released a video talking about some of the cool features that this radio has.

flyzone_tidewater

New from Flyzone is the Tidewater EP Seaplane video. you get a chance to get some info and details about the plane as well as see it in action. This is one of those times, where if I had some actual ‘flying skills’ I think it would be really cool to fly one of these.

Check out the video below.

cliche_rc_chase

If you haven’t caught the awesome rc video going around called “The Cliche RC Action Chase” you should really check it out. It was very well done, and much better than a few we have seen lately. We have been wanting to do one of these ourselves for a while, but just haven’t had the time. Which reminds me, we are still looking for a ‘video editor’ to add to the team! If you have some amazing video skills, drop me an email!

Ok, enough blab.. check out the video!
