Futaba 3PM-X 2.4GHz FASST Radio system

Futaba have released the 3PM-X 2.4GHz FASST radio, which claims to eliminate the need to have one radio for racing, another for rock crawling and yet another for monster trucks. The 3PM-X is the single, affordable system that can handle them all. It retains the features of the popular 3PM while adding performance and programming pluses that expand driving fun, all with the security and dependability of 2.4GHz FASST technology. Now modelers can set up a two or three position switch to control the dig function on their crawler while, with just the push of a button, they can access normal, crab, front-wheel only or rear-wheel only steering modes. Other features includes digital trim strips that allow the user to choose a level of trim adjustability, from fine-tuning finesse (1) to maximum travel (16), while an adjuster function keeps throttle and steering throws as well as centering at programmed ideals for optimum performance.

Vorsprung durch Technik – Durango DEX410

Team Durango’s DEX410 is possibly the most anticipated electric 4WD buggy of all times! We think this is not a exaggeration as the handmade prototypes (designed and build by German racer Gerd Strenge) are around for many years now but only made it into the hands of some selected team drivers like Jörn Neumann, Billy Easton, Atsushi Hara, Craig Drescher or Mark Pavidis to name just a few. Now ‘The Durango’ is available for everyone thanks to Gerd Strenge and his designer Michael Vollmer who made the impossible possible and took the challenge to create ‘a Durango’ for the mass market. We got our hands on one of the very first kits of this exciting new buggy.

East Coast Bodies Half painted 200mm shells

East Coast Bodies now offer their 1/10th 200mm body shells, the Access 2.8 and Sciricco models, in half painted versions. ECB have taken the effort out of painting and mounting the body, by supplying the shell pre trimmed meaning you only need to back it with a single colour to complete the great carbon fibre layout with sharp orange look. This series of bodies has been made using new super-PC material which gives the body longer life, makes it last longer, more flexible and have less damage. Both bodies are supplied with a decal sheet, window mask as well as 3 different types of rear wing together with the wing end plates.

Orcan Audi A5 body developed by Dirk Wischnewski

The Audi A5 body for the 1/10 scale 200mm nitro class has made an impressive racing entry when all ten finalists at the recently held German Nationals at Tuerkheim have been using this new body shell. For the first time the Audi body was seen during practice of the season opener of the Western German Championship early April at Oberhausen when Xray/Orcan team drivers Dirk Wischnewski and Freddy Suedhoff conducted mayor tests with one of the first prototypes. During the development a total of ten different prototype bodies have been tested. “Our main goal was to develop a body which is easy to drive and offers as much front-end grip as possible”, says 2009 European Champion Dirk Wischnewski who runs most of the test sessions and exerted the main influence on the body development. “It has been really interesting to see the improvements of the different development steps.”
