ParkZone has introduced two new indoor electric planes, operated by Spektrum-compatible 2.4 GHz radios. At left is the Ember RTF, which has a wingspan of 16 inches and a flying weight of 0.6 ounces. We saw this plane fly at the WRAM Show and were impressed with its agility. It's a three channel model with throttle, elevator, and rudder control.

At right is the Vapor RTF, which will be available in June and has a 14.75 inch wingspan and weighs even less at 0.4 ounces. It will also come in a Bind-N-Fly configuration, meaning you supply a DSM2 radio such as a Spektrum DX7 or DX6i. Owners of the E-flite Blade CX2 can also reuse that spread spectrum radio with this model, which is appealing. Both planes operate on a single cell LiPo battery and charger, both of which are included.

This is a brand spanking new announcement, so theres hardly any information at all. But Duratrax has announced a new 1/14 scale crawler they like to call the Cliff Climber. The RTR will be around $240 and the ARR will be around $140. It has a motor for each axle, like a Clodbuster, has a Ford Bronco styled body, and by looking at the photo there is a servo mounted on the front axle. Could Duratrax be starting a new mini crawler craze?

Since the release of the Traxxas Revo in 2004, it has dominated at the track because of it's unique F1 style suspension and new chassis design. The Revo also saw a change in 2006, the 3.3 racing engine debuted so Traxxas incorperated it into the new Revo 3.3. The Revo now sees another change- electric!

Not long ago, Team Losi introduced their new Desert Truck. Thunder Tech racing has a CORR (championship off road racing) Pro-2 race truck coming out. Now Traxxas has decided to step into the desert style race truck game. Introducing the Slash. The Slash was made to resemble the full scale Traxxas Pro-2 race truck.

For about ten years, Traxxas has dominated the monster truck market with their T-Maxx series. The truck has seen a lot of changes over the years, and will now see some more!

The eLogger V3 from Eagle Tree Systems is an in-flight data logger which continuously records volts, amps, watts, and milliamp-hours to enable pilots to analyze the performance of their electric power systems. In addition, it supports a wide variety of optional sensors to record altitude, airspeed, component temperatures, RPM, and more.

Ofna has always been famous at the local track and in the back yard with their 1/8 Hyper buggy series. At first glance, some may think the new Hyper 9 looks like a Losi 8ight knock off with its thin chassis design, but the Hyper 9 is far from a Losi 8ight! Compared to the other Hypers, Ofna has redesigned their buggy series from the ground up. The most noticeable features you can see right away are the angle of the engine and the thin chassis. To me this buggy looks like a sure fire contender that will be able to keep up with competiton brands such as Losi, Kyosho, Xray, fellow Jammin, Mugen, and others.
