Chilly Autumn - Warm New Products! - Hobby Letter #25/21

Hello our dear subscriber! This is Heikki and today we take a little deeper look in to some of the latest new RC goodness that we have here in our Storage Room Facility. Quick reminder about the fact that what we have "in stock", we really have them here in our own warehouse as you can see. Everything is ready to ship in the same day and in case we are sold out (or the item is for pre-order) remember to leave your email address and we contact you when the items are back in the shelf.

Allright folks should we check some of the latest RC kits and goodies for autumn 2021? Oh yes.

Precision Instrument of Winning

Masters of the RC Universe keep on pushing new quality kits out! Released just this week, the new Xray X10'22 Pan Car GT Kit takes the leading position in tenth scale GT class. Compared to the previous X10 from 2018, this is a completely redesigned platform and meets todays high standards of competition level carpet racer.

List of the new features is so exhausting so it is better that you go and check out yourself! New body looks also exceptionally cool and makes me want to build it only for the shelf.. but that would be so wrong as Xrays are pure breed racing cars and purposely made for winning and winning only.

Natural Born Crawlers

FTX RC manufactures good stuff with reasonable price point. Their Outback-family of 1:10 sized scale trucks may still suffer a bit from the reputation of the first generation Outbacks as they were bit on the underpowered side with their smaller motors. Their chassis layout however has always been very well thought out.

These next generation FTX crawlers are a real thing with full sized motor, waterproof electronics and metal gears in transmission reaching the same build quality than other competitors. With GEO you get more value for your money with working front and rear lights, bright led bar on the roof rack and trail required scale items!

As a scale truck it has everything required to meet specs of today. Simple structure (read: no portals or other gimmicks) keeps it low balanced and less parts to brake give confidence when heading deeper in to dark woods.

Check out the renewed FTX Outback -crawler family!

Night in the City

Stop the press! This just in! We just received a superbig delivery from Tamiya and these supercool supercar kits were included. These 2020 Ford GT Mk II builder kits are based on Tamiyas popular and proven TT-02 on-the-road chassis. Original version boasts out lame 700hp and only 45 units of this superior GT car were produced. I am pretty sure that only way (atleast for my poor ass!) to get your hands into this modern day classic is to build this fantastic kit!

Tamiya builder kits are fun to assemble as they have excellent instructions and are included with high quality sticker sets. This makes it easy even for a beginner to reach the "box-art" type of look. Torque-tuned motor and speed controller are also included in this kit.

Full sized price: 1.87M USD. (auctioned price at Mecum 2021)

Huge Tamiya Kit stock-up in our warehouse! Latest kits and old classics available!

Dont wrench it like a newb!

I used to work with manual tools and manual tools only. It was kind of honor for me to make my hands hurt for the hobby I love. Sweat, blood and tears for the gods of RC!

Then my boss Niko happened to saw me fiddle around, said nothing and handed me a new MDrive P1 electrical screwdriver. Praise Hallelujah I can see it now! This is how it should have always been. It felt like I l was living in the future for a moment.

Mdrive P1 is not your everyday electronic wrench as it has been specifially designed for RC hobby. Speed and torque are just perfect here and ergonomy is great! This versatile 3.6V powered electronic screwdriver is charged conventionally through USB port.

MDrive is a new RC specified tool family from Minicars, lurk them up!

Challenger for Power Wagon

Another hot new item for Performance Crawling Class from JConcepts. This JCI Tucked Ford 1989 F-250 Performance Body is already pinched from front and rear to make more room for massive tires of your competition crawler rig. In real sided offroad trucks this is a common trick to gain more advance on the rock climbing business. Now you can save some duct tape and glue and there is no worry that your hand customized body pops its sides open just when you are passing the gate.

This fully licensed unpainted crawler body fits straight for most common 313mm wheelbased trucks and should be Crawler Class 2 ready out of the box. Check out other JConcept Crawler bodies from this link!

Off-Road Cross Country Buggies for the win! It may be all drag racing, brainless bashing and lost scale items nowadays but the true spirit of RC racing has never died.

This nice shot is from our local club Hirvilampi RC Park located in Hämeenlinna, Finland. Thanks to active people who put a lot of effort for the club, they have now two outdoor tracks and one indoor. Big up to Saku "The Mysterious Tekno Man" Viita from this sweet group photo!

Is it just me but could the traditional RC classes be in slightly rising trend today? Share your feelings with me simply by replying this email and we'll have a discuss. Meanwhile remember to follow our brilliant Instagram accounts at @EuroRC, @EuroRC Warehouse and @Halko Racing!
