New ball bearing sizes from ACER Racing.
Our editor/publisher/boss, Brian, is out of town for a while, so I have total control over the site (insert evil laugh here). With that, I’ve decided to let you all in on a little secret.

Don’t lose Hobbico’s cute, tiny voltmeter
Why carry around a Fluke Multimeter when you can toss Hobbico‘s tiny Pro-Series Lithium Voltmeter into your tool bag and promptly loose it?

The Pro LVM can give [...]

R/C Around the Web – Back from the dead… edition.
Photo of the Week:by Tim Green R/C Around the Web took a little break last week because there really wasn’t anything worth mentioning anywhere in the R/C web-o-sphere. It probably would have been funny, in a hipster d-bag ironical kind of way, to post a blank R/C ATW, but I’m not a hipster d-bag. There’s not many good projects out there [...]

Budget radios are everywhere these days and HPI is not one to be left out of the fun. Their TF-20U radio, which has been the 2.4 GHz pack-in radio for many of their RTRs, is now available separately. Being a budget radio it’s not big on features, having only 2 channels, a steering dual rate switch, throttle and steering trims, [...]

HPI brings Boss home for dinner… wife is not happy…
How often have you been sitting around saying to yourself “boy, if only my sedan had a Boss 302 body, my life would be complete…” I’m guessing not often, most of you probably rank other things as more important to having a fulfilled life. Not me though, I’m a straight up, unrepentant consumer. If it’s shiny or new, I must [...]

New entry level radio from Futaba
The Futaba mothership is showing off a new entry level radio. Now I don’t read Japanese, but from various other sources I was able to cobble together that the new 3PRKA will be a 3 channel, 2.4 GHz radio with some minor features such as trims and servo reversing, possibly more.
