A lot of people have been talking about it and waiting with bated breath for more info. Here’s what we can tell you from the official release. As with all Traxxas [...]
Following on yesterday’s announcement of a brushless version of the RC18T2 RTR, Associated has pulled back the sheet on the RC18B2 Brushless. Raise your hand if you were surprised by this, so I can come over and smack you. Anyhow, just as with the T2, this one will also feature the Reedy Micro Brushless ESC and a 5000kv motor. The [...]
The A Team‘s got a thing for brushless, adding it to almost their entire line of RTR vehicles. The RC18T2 is the next in line to receive the ridiculous power. This new edition comes out of the box with a Reedy micro brushless ESC and 5000kv motor. The ESC is LiPo ready, accepting 2 – 3S LiPos or 6 – [...]
NOSRAM, a company that has been in the game pretty much since the game started, has a couple new brushless ESC and motor combos. Based on their Pearl ISTC V2 ESC, the combos come packed with either a 5.5T or 6.5T Pure Evolution brushless motor (not the 3.5T that’s in the picture). The team at NOSRAM suggests the 6.5T for [...]
Novak‘s Havoc Pro SC is now available in a combo with the Ballistic 540 size brushless motors. Previously it had only been available with the larger 550 size motor.

This is something cool at IHobby from Thunder Tiger, being distributed by the fine folks at Great Planes. I totally forgot to write down the info on this thing, but some of the stuff I can recall from the images is that it’s a relatively small, slight larger than a 1/18 scale car or truck. It’s also going to be [...]
Speed Passion’s other RTR is a old skool, 2wd stadium truck. Like their other RTR, the RS2 comes with a brushless system and 2.4 GHz Carrera 2 radio in the box. It also features some heavy duty telescoping drive shafts, full ball bearings, and a fully adjustable wheelie bar out back. Again they’re targetting a Christmas-time launch and a target [...]

It’s got some nice features, like metal diffs, oil filled shocks, and full ball bearings. They are expecting to [...]
This is probably the coolest new tech from the IHobby show this year. Speed Passion is preparing a new brushless ESC called the Revetton. The awesome thing about it is that it is programmable wirelessly from any Bluetooth capable smart phone. All the major phones will have software available including the iPhone (and other iOS devices), Android phones, and Windows [...]

Team Epic is renewing a name that has been long synonymous with the Trinity brand. The new Monster Horsepower line of brushless motors are made for all kinds of classes and situations. The Mini Monster line is meant for 1/16 and 1/18 scale racers like the Traxxas mini e-Revo or the Team Associated RC18 line. They’re built for 1 [...]
The fine folks at OFNA have another new vehicle for us to gawk at. The Ultra GTP 2e is a 1/8 scale, brushless, sedan. Like their previous release, this one is also an 80% complete roller, requiring all electronics and a paint job on the clear body to be complete. Some of the features of note include [...]
