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?

Not very long ago, Losi released their 1/18th scale Mini Slider, which gave life to a usually un-heard of class, 1/18th scale oval racing. Now that there was an easy way to get into the action, many Mini Sliders were sold, and RC tracks all over the country were building small purpose built oval tracks just for these trucks. Now, losi has given us all another option for a miniature scaled oval racer, their all new Late Model 1/18th Scale Oval Racer.The oval racer is packed with tons of new features like a longer, more stable chassis, multiple battery mounting locations, a RX-280 high speed motor, long arm suspension with oil-filled shocks, a low profile rear shock tower and short shocks, and much more.

For release in Japan on the 29th of February, this is actually being sold as spare parts but will enable you to use your MR-015 or MR-02 chassis on your 2.4GHz radio. It will cost about 8,400 yen (about $42).
