The Multiplex Easy Star was designed for first time pilots in mind and offers incredibly stable flight characteristics and durability. It’s powered by a powerful Permax Speed 400 motor mounted on the top, so hard landings won’t break the prop or hurt the motor. The Easy Star flies with little input and has the ability to recover easily. Made from Multiplex’s durable ELAPOR Foam, the Easy Star will take a tremendous amount of abuse without breaking. When it does break it's easily repaired with CA (super) glue. Even after many crashes, the Easy Star will be ready for more. This is a great plane to teach someone to fly where other trainers would be ready for the trash can!

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.
