Exciting New Products for Christmas!

Venom has just released their new Safari Creeper, which is perfect for those who want a creeper but want it ready to run. Unlike Venom's original Creeper Competition Rock Crawler, which is a kit and has to be put together screw by screw, the Safari Creeper is fully assembled and only requires a battery and charger for operation. This is great for kids or adults who just don't have the time for assembly.
Check out the Safari Creeper at RC Hobby Explosion!


RC Hobby Explosion has added a new line of airplanes just in time for Christmas! We have eight Parkflyers RC planes ranging from Cessnas to Piper Cubs to Mustangs to 1/5scale with something sure to interest everyone. Check out these great new planes at our Parkflyers RC page.




And, of course, to add to Traxxas' family of 1/16 VXL vehicles, we have the 1/16 scale Summit VXL Brushless in stock! This Summit uses the same batteries and y-harnesses as the other 1/16 vehicles making it easy to share accessories.

Traxxas Rally VXL Racer

To add to its 1/16 scale VXL line-up, Traxxas has added the Rally VXL Racer, coming in October! Just like the 1/16 E-Revo and Slash, the Rally comes with a 6-cell 7.2V NiMh battery that allows it to race up to 30mph straight out of the box. If you want to hit those higher speeds, get a second battery and speed pinion gear and hit up to 50mph! To take advantage of those dual batteries, you can also purchase the Series Y-harness to get either higher voltage and thus higher speeds or the Parallel Y-harness to get more battery capacity and thus longer runtimes.

That incredible speed is courtesy of the Velineon 380 brushless motor and speed control. Designed by Traxxas specifically for the 1/16 scale versions, the Velineon system still includes the same incredible specs found in the VXL 1/10 scale models. The Velineon system also includes three modes: Sport Mode, Race Mode, and Training Mode. Training Mode allows you to practice at 50% throttle for both forward and reverse. Once you are confident in your ability to control this smooth machine, simply press the EZ-Set button and you get full brushless power.

The Rally comes with TQ radio system, glued-on tires, painted and decaled body, installed Velineon brushless-motor system, and the 7.2V NiMh battery with Traxxas' High Current Connector and charger.

You can see more pictures and video at RC Hobby Explosion.

More Power/Longer Run-time for Traxxas' 1/16 R/C

Traxxas has just released the Series and Parallel Y-Harnesses for their new 1/16 scale E-Revo and Slash. Use the series harness (#3063) to combine battery voltage and unlock the 50+mph speed potential of your model. Choose the parallel harness (#3064) to combine battery capacity for extra-long run time. Each has the quality performance of Traxxas High Current Connectors.

These y-harnesses are for use with 2/3A battery packs only, and Traxxas has also just released their Series 1 Power Cell 7.2V NiMh battery pack (2/3A cell) for use in the 1/16 Traxxas models. The Traxxas Series 1 Power Cell battery is constructed using premium 2/3A cells, heavy-duty welded tabs, silicone-jacketed 16g wire, and Traxxas’ exclusive High Current Connector for efficient power flow and optimum performance. Since the 1/16 scale E-Revo and Slash already come packaged with one of these batteries, to increase the power or run-time of your unit only requires the purchase of one battery pack.

Traxxas' NEW 1/16 Scale Brushless E-Revo and Slash

Traxxas is set to release its new 1/16 scale 4WD brushless E-Revo and Slash. Appearing as mini versions of their 1/10 scale counterparts, the 1/16 E-Revo and Slash are anything but miniature in the power department.

Each comes with an included 6-cell 7.2V NiMh battery that allows the E-Revo and Slash to race up to 30mph right out of the box. If you're needing a little more speed, add a second 6-cell battery with a series connector (since they both come with a dual battery compartment), install the included "speed pinion," and blast to 50mph.

That incredible speed is courtesy of the Velineon 380 brushless motor and speed control. Designed by Traxxas specifically for the 1/16 scale versions, the Velineon system still includes the same incredible specs found in the VXL 1/10 scale models. The Velineon system also includes three modes: Sport Mode, Race Mode, and Training Mode. Training Mode allows you to practice at 50% throttle for both forward and reverse. Once you are confident in your ability to control this smooth machine, simply press the EZ-Set button and you get full brushless power.

Both the E-Revo and the Slash feature the unique combination of the functionality and performance of the Revo's suspension with the integrated chassis design of the E-Revo as well as the waterproof electronics that are now standard for Traxxas vehicles.

Both the Slash and E-Revo are truly ready to race: each comes with TQ radio system, glued-on tires, painted and decaled body, installed Velineon brushless-motor system, and the 7.2V NiMh battery with Traxxas' High Current Connector and charger.
