World Champion technology -- right out of the box!

Ready-To-Run, all-inclusive, AND boasting the legendary Inferno pedigree? That's a match made in hobby heaven, and the perfect description of the Inferno MP-7.5 Sports. This 1/8 scale buggy copies the layout of the nitro superstar currently enjoying an unprecedented ten-year reign as IFMAR champion. But its RTR designation means that it comes mostly preassembled, with the body already painted. Plus, it also features a preinstalled, .21-size engine and top-quality 2-channel pistol radio made by Futaba. The Inferno MP-7.5 Sports RTR is designed for all eager off-roaders who crave less building…and more performance!

Introducing the Mad Force RCX, a special edition of Kyosho's highly acclaimed monster truck outfitted with a long list of high-performance hop-ups! Tops among the upgrades is the powerful and reliable O.S.® .21 RG-X(P) engine.

Still retains the features that have made the Mad Force a huge hit with truck modelers, including solid axle shaft drive, ladder-style chassis with 3mm-thick aluminum plates, vented dual disk brakes and much more.

An amazing value as well! The suggested retail for the Mad Force RCX is significantly less than the total price for a Mad Force with all of these hop-ups purchased separately!

It's the largest engine displacement allowed in FAI F3C and AMA-sanctioned heli competitions!

Newest version of the .91 SX-H features advancements that can make the difference between winning and losing!

Foremost among its upgrades is a three-needle carb, for the ultimate in fine-tuning.

A lighter piston and conrod, combined with a more balanced crankshaft, significantly reduce high-rpm vibration.

The round gold "Hyper" head with horizontal fins offers better cooling and sharper looks.

Motor- Electric cars

         The new Novak Super Sport Brushless Motor System includes a mild-modified, sensored, brushless motor, and a compact programmable speed control. Designed by Novak specifically for R/C car applications, the brushless motor and speed control easily fits in most popular 1:10 scale R/C cars. Topping the list of reasons for using this system is that it will provide approximately 20% longer run times and higher performance than similar brushed motor systems, with virtually no maintenance. There are no brushes, brush springs, or commutator to true or wear out. Also, the completely enclosed motor is protected from dirt and other elements harmful to it. The Super Sport speed control is filled with Novak's trademark features, including a few industry firsts: a Transmitter Check Mode, and Locked Rotor Detection Circuitry, which prevents motor, battery, and ESC damage. The speed control also features multiple factory-set throttle programs, and convenient On-Board Programming to customize the ESC. Other models, including a High Voltage system will be released at a later date.

Radios

More programming ease than you'd expect. For less money than you'd imagine.

With the 6EXA, the only thing more impressive than the value of all the features it offers is the ease of making use of any one.

Computer speed and accuracy top the list, followed closely by 6-model memory, 241-position digital trims, preset wing mixes, a user-programmable mix, dual rates, exponential, ball bearing servos and Futaba's most user-friendly programming yet.

Simple "go-with-the-flow" routines use a big, bright 40-segment LCD to show the shortest and most direct route to each feature. Combine that with two buttons and a data input lever, and the 6EXA becomes a way to accomplish the formerly impossible -- a way to lock precise set-ups in multi-model memory with digital accuracy and utter simplicity.

Airplanes

Every ARF should be this easy to enjoy! The only things required to make the Slinger ARF flight-ready are 6-minute epoxy and 20-30 minutes of easy assembly. All-foam parts make it a snap to assemble and tough to damage — electric power makes it great for quick, "grab n' go" flying. A Speed 400 motor and prop provide the power for astonishing stunts at a wide range of speeds. Rock-solid stability and B2 bomber looks provides pilots with the inspiration — and confidence — to try almost anything!

Born in a time before twin-engine airplanes were fully accepted, WWII's P-38 brought many "firsts"...including a nonstop range of over 3,000 miles. It could outrun, outclimb, AND outdive the Japanese Zero. Great Planes captures the great fighter's strength and style in this compact profile kit ­ a snap for sport pilots to build and fly.

Off-shore R/C action doesn't get any easier than this!
