What a week that was! Rarely do I show up to these things and actually make my presence known, but Brian thought it could be interesting, or at least make good video if people I haven’t been so nice with caught me in their booth, or caught me in the Big Squid RC booth. Luckily for everyone the [...]
Our last demo give away winners walked out of IHobby as happy campers. I know we said we were giving away two, but we got a third and gave it away too. Special thanks to ECX RC for the two Torment short course trucks we gave away. And also thanks to Speed Passion for the RS2 stadium truck!
IHobby is about all kinds of hobbies, from R/C cars, planes and boats, to trains, to metal detectors and rock tumblers. Figured I’d show you some of the other goings on here. Trains are everywhere and in every scale. N, HO, O, On2, and more. Even Lego Trains. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: [...]

Take a look at this awesome tractor on display at the NR/CTPA pulling track. It’s the only Super Stock class tractor in the world right now and it’s packing a humongous 93cc Go Kart Engine. Hopefully it’ll run some heats tomorrow, they typically run a few at the top the every hour. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: [...]

And a second winner walks away with a brand new vehicle. This time a HPI Racing Savage Flux XS went home with Kyle. Many thanks to HPI Racing for giving us two vehicles to give away today!What’s this? A third winner today? You bet. We had so many people and were getting so much attention [...]
Even more Redcat stuff to show you guys. This is their new brushless 1/8 scale line, the Hurricane, Monsoon and Avalanche. All three are fully RTR with 2.4 GHz and dual 2S LiPo batteries included. These things look to be pretty beefy, with lots of thick metal braces. Look for them to be hitting very soon [...]

The ESC can handle motors down to 3.5t and either 1s or 2s lipo packs. They are equipped with something called “Power Timing System”. All you need to know about it is that it means you [...]
Adam the Intern got his hands on a new Speed Passion RS2 stadium truck, so we thought we’d do a quick and dirty unboxing here at IHobby. If Adam the Intern reviews it, and it doesn’t break, you can be assured that it’s a tough truck. #gallery-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-9 [...]
