Masaaki Hirosaka, father of multiple World Champion Masami and top RC mechanic, has this sweet product shown in the picture above listed on his website. The item in question is made by KO, one of Masami’s long time sponsors, and is a servo, receiver and speed controller all in one tiny package. This is perfect for the Xray M18, HPI RS4 micro as well as the Nanda NRX-18 shown in the picture. Fitting is that this product comes out of Japan, the home of miniaturisation. Available soon according to the site.

Our Swiss friends over at RCWorld.ch have this nice piece of reporting about the all new Corally RDX chassis. Seen on the GM Racing site is the above picture highlighting their GM brushless motor on Marc Fischer’s car which inadvertently displays the prototype chassis from the Dutch manufacturer. A picture that no one else at the Team Orion Speed Weekend was able to get, due to obvious secrecy reasons.
Update: RaceRC.dk, also managed to bag a picture of a prototype RDX.
