It’s that time of year! All of the hot, new releases for 2009 are being announced. Check back here to get the scoop before anyone else. Also be sure to check out the Model Airplane News blogs for cool airplane and helicopter releases. Look for the complete story in the January issue of RC Car Action magazine.

LRP Soldering Station
The new LRP soldering station is custom made for use in RC applications. It operates world wide from 100 to 240V jacks and is light and compact for easy traveling. It has a blue back lit display and capable of 90 watts of power. It has an automatic sleep system that protects the tips from burning up, and is fully digital for precision temperature adjustments.

New Hitec Servo's
Hitec has some new servos that have impressive numbers. The HS-7950TG servo is digital, titanium geared servo that boosts an impressive 403 oz.-in of torque! The HS-5485HB is a digital standard servo that sports 89 oz.-in of torque and a low price point. The servo on the right is the new HS-7940TG servo that puts out 183 oz.-in of torque at 6 volts and it does it at a blistering fast speed of .07 seconds.

Hitec Field Programmer
The new Hitec PC & Field Programmer is a cool little programmer that you can plug your servos in and change settings on the fly. Its very easy use the knob on the right to select the setting you want to change and the UP and DOWN buttons to change the value. A 6v receiver pack will power the programmer out in the field.

Xceed C1 Charger and Power Supply
Xceed’s new 30amp power supply has the juice to power anything in RC. The new C1 charger is an advanced charger and is capable of graphing and monitoring on your cell phone or PC.

Kershaw Designs 700-HO Motor Conversion Kit
This new HO Motor Conversion Kit from Kershaw designs includes everything you need to take your stock E-maxx to the next level. You get giant 700 series high output revolver motors, a heavy duty motor mount plate, and all the hardware to put it together. You can use this system with the stock EVX-2 speed controller and it’s capable of some serious power.

Outerwears Electric Pre-Filters
The Outerwears electric pre-filters are great at keeping out debris and water. The material filters out particles larger then .005” but shows no loss of airflow. Check out the video below to see the filters in action.

Losi 8IGHT-E
The new Losi 8IGHT-E was designed to conquer the 1/8-scale buggy scene in electric style. It features a sensorless brushless system, 4mm thick aluminum chassis plate, sealed front and rear differentials, and much more!

Traxxas E-Revo Brushless Edition
The new E-Revo Brushless Edition from Traxxas is a serious monster truck. It features all the great components from the E-Revo, and then adds Castle Creation’s Mamba Monster ESC, a new 2.4 GHz radio from Traxxas, and is capable of 50+mph on 6S.

O'Donnell Z01-T Race Truggy
This is the much-anticipated truggy version of the no-holds-barred Z01 buggy. Like the buggy, the Z01-T features a super-smooth drivetrain and incredible attention to detail. All the best materials are used and every design feature serves a highly calculated purpose. The shocks are also new large diameter units.

AquaCraft UL-1 Superior
Car guy, be prepared to become a boat guy, too. This boat looks sick. It's brushless and made to run LiPo, and it is said to be the fastest RTR boat of it kind. It's modeled after a real boat and features a high-quality fiberglass hull and 2030kV motor. The two piece canopy is lightweight plastic and secured with magnets. The radio is the new 2.4GHz Tactic that uses no external boat antenna at all. The hull is 27 inches long.

Pro-Line Rock Crawling and Scale Accessories
Pro-Line had a ton of really cool stuff. The scale accessories will be available separately and include all the popular items such bumpers, coolers, shovels, jacks, winch, gas can and a whole lot more--basically everything an off-road truck might have on it. Pro-Line also had an awesome bolt-on, molded plastic tuber cage body. The detailed interior and cage was also dialed. Pro-Line also had a sick conversion for a HPI 5B to convert it to a truck, a pro tool kit, extra-large fuel tank and a pit bag.

 

Parma Rattler
This race truck body is a direct fit for the Traxxas Slash. The Rattler is designed with deep wheel wells for maximum suspension travel and cool styling. Vinyl window masks and EASY-PEEL overspray film is included.


 

Schumacher Speed Passion Emotion SP
This hot mini brushless setup features a tiny 24.5x27.5mm footprint. A handheld programming unit is included. It is rated for 2 to 3 cell LiPo and 4 to 9 cell NiMH. The speed control also features LiPo cutoff and is said to have smooth throttle feel. Three motors (5200kV, 6900kV and 7800kV) are available with the speed control.

 

Axial Scale Truck

The newest Axial crawler is a scale machine that features an extremely realistic chassis. It doesn't just resemble a full-size ladder frame, it looks just like the real deal. The frame rails are aluminum and have a C-channel design. All of the molded plastic cross members look real. Even the bottom of the water-resistant radio box looks like the underside of a floor pan. The truck will be sold as a kit and will include the body shown.



 

Traxxas Summit
Traxxas has finally unvieled its go-anywhere machine. It's been dubbed the Summit 16.8 V Electric Extreme Terrain Monster Truck. Is it a rock crawler or a basher? It's both. Here the short list of cool features:
• Remotely locking T-Lock differentials. Thed diffs can be run open, both locked or just front locked—all from the transmitter.
• The transmission can be shifted from high speed gearing to a super-low 70:1--all from the transmitter.
• Titan 775 high-torque motor
• Exo cage body with working lights
• Waterproof electronics
• 7-in tall Canyon AT tires
• Smooth center skid
• 3.8-inch Beadlock style rims


Traxxas 1/16-scale Vehicles
What?! That's what we said when we saw these two shockers. One is a brushless 1/16-scale E-Revo with brushless power. It will reach speeds of well over 40mph on a 3S LiPo. The second is a 1/16-scale Slayer EX.

Traxxas Bodies
These officially licensed Team Bodies are for the Slash and Slayer.
