Here’s some awesome news from Team AE. They are putting out 2nd editions of their popular RC18B and RC18T, based on the new belt driven chassis that is used by the SC18 and RC18LM. The cool thing about this though is that it’s a kit and parts are included to build either vehicle. So you buy one [...]
The Losi Highroller family is now complete. Take your pick and get it in 1/10th scale, 1/36th micro scale, or in the new 1/18th mini scale.
The Mini Highroller is a fully assembled RTR 2wd monster truck with a tubular styled, narrow chassis, very similar to it’s larger 1/10th scale brother. It’s driven by a RS280 motor controlled by an electronic speed control. Also [...]
Team Associated’s stable of 1/18th scale cars has just grown by one. Hot on the heels of their awesome looking SC18, AE has dug deep and come up with the RC18 Late Model. It’s an RTR with a 2.4 GHz radio, built on the new SC18 belt driven chassis. Just like the SC18 it seems that batteries and a charger are NOT [...]
Maybe, depends who you trust. Team Associated’s official announcement says that it’ll be available in March. Tower Hobbies’ product page is noting late February, which isn’t far off from the official word. But A Main Hobbies is saying they’ll have it in stock on January 17. About 2 weeks from now.
Retailers are pretty well-known for getting release dates [...]
On the heels of Associated’s other new cars and trucks comes the final, official announcement of something we’ve all known about since October. Team Associated’s SC18, a 1/18th scale short course r/c truck. What has been announced isn’t what was advertised though, there have been some changes.
As I suspected they did change over to a 2.4 [...]
Tower Hobbies has the Duratrax Vendetta SC in stock. So if you’re looking for some small scale short course action then whip out your credit card and get to buying. You can get it in red, white, blue, or yellow. For $219.99 you don’t get everything you need. You’ll still have to provide a battery [...]
Here’s the first video of Team Associated’s new SC18 via the folks at RC Car Action. Looks to be a good little performer. And I love that little backyard style track they’re running it on.
This is a video that expands on the peek they gave us in the November 6th episode of The Radio Control [...]
RC Driver, issue 73 (Jan 2010), page 120. Tony Phalen has a two page preview of the SC18. He’s pretty excited about it and there is definitely a hint that it will be out before Christmas but no price point as of yet. Hopefully less than $200.
There’s quite a few differences between the SC18 platform [...]
[ Update: added a pic of the advert below. ]
[An after-thought] I totally spaced that the iHobby Expo is coming up in about a week. I’m assuming that the debut of the SC18 was intended to be during the expo. Give it a week and we might have some more info, so stay tuned.
Making it’s debut [...]
