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.

Souped Up MegaPro!

If you have one of Megatech's cool little MegaPro buggies or trucks and are looking to get a little more speed out of it, you can easily upgrade it to a brushless motor and ESC. Although the MegaPro can go up to 20mph straight out of the box with the stock brushed motor, you might want even more speed. With a quick change to the brushless motor and ESC, you can easily get into speeds of high 30s or more. We have the brushless motor and ESC combo on for $89.95 - that's a savings of @25.95 when you buy the motor and ESC together.

And, of course, with those higher speeds, you might want to upgrade your suspension arms, dogbones, and other body components with the MegaPro Complete Aluminum Upgrade Kit, which is currently on sale at RC Hobby Explosion for only $84.95. The Aluminum upgrade components are in a cool blue color. You can also upgrade your oil-filled shocked to the blue aluminum also using the MegaPro Aluminum Oil-Filled Shocks. These not only look cool, but also increases the strength and durability of a part that is vulnerable to breakage (especially on the buggy) at high speeds.














You can find all the Upgrade Parts for the Megatech MegaPro/Pro-Pulse at our Upgrades page.

Traxxas E-Revo Brushless: Pure Power

If you're looking for pure power on the road, look no further than the Traxxas E-Revo Brushless RTR with Castle Mamba! Designed by Traxxas to take full advantage of today's techonology of LiPo batteries and brushless motors, the E-Revo can hit 60+mph with 6s LiPo batteries and its Castle 2200Kv 75mm motor. That powerful motor is controlled by a speed control, the castle Monster ESC, that is specifically designed for a large powerful truck. And this brushless system is completed with the power of the motor sent through a 5mm shaft to a Brushless-Ready transmission.

Traxxas also took advantage of today's technology in the radio system. The Traxxas E-Revo uses a 2.4GHz radio system that utilizes spread-spectrum technology, which automatically finds an open channel to operate on. Gone are the days of worrying about interference, crystals, and channels!

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.
