RC Model News

Welcome back! We're going to take you through a recent delivery from Phoenix Models and highlight some of our favourite models.

Phoenix Model Aurora

First up we have the Phoenix Model Aurora 46 a 55 sized nitro aircraft that can also run on electric, so depending on what your preference is you can kit this aircraft out how you feel. It’s a sport aerobatic low wing model that is great for F3A style flying.

Phoenix Model Boomerang 60

Next up we have an old faithful, the Phoenix Model Boomerang 60 size, a fantastic trainer for those looking to get into the world of model flying. Again, you can fit this out with either nitro or electric power and like all these kits, it’s an ARF, so you will need your own radio gear and transmitter,

We've had a lot of stock arrive, with a lot of exciting, brand new product.
Today we're going to focus on the car side of things, since the last blog was mostly aircraft.  

This week we have received some amazing new aircrafts and RC cars, including the new Viper RC Jet from E-flite, so let's get into it and see what we've got.

Victorious Viper EDF Jet

The Viper is a Brand-New 70mm electric ducted fan Jet from E-flite. It is available in two versions, a Bind-N-Fly (BNF) and a Plug-and-Play version (PNP). PNP would be ideal for non-Spektrum transmitter users as it allows you to use your own receiver. This EDF RC Jet comes pre-assembled and you will need to add your own receiver, transmitter, battery and charger. Spektrum Radio users will benefit from the BNF version as it includes a pre-installed Spektrum receiver with exclusive AS3X and SAFE select technologies tuned

Learn how to fly with the Delta Ray One

A brand new and fantastic product from E-Flite is the Delta Ray One. Some of you may be familiar with the Delta Ray, which was a previous model from HobbyZone, with a dual motor unit that they have used for inspiration in the new variant. It was a delta wing style with a cockpit up the front. E-Flite have changed the aircraft a little and offered it in a fantastic “learn how to fly” RC Plane. The Delta Ray One is a bit of an all-new design, with a pusher propeller instead of the dual motor, E-Flite have also reduced the size as well which makes this electric plane perfect for school ovals, even indoor basketball courts; you can fly this around comfortably in most spaces large or small.

The Delta Ray One comes in two versions - Ready-To-Fly (RTF) or Bind-N-Fly (BNF). The RTF model

FPV Rock Crawler from ECX

Today we're going to bring you a bit of a close-up on a great product we have available from ECX - The Barrage UV Scaler. This is a 1/24 scale RC crawler with scale officially licensed tyres, dish wheels, LED lights, a detailed scale body, a functional 5th spare tyre and some other great features.

There are two versions of this RC rock crawler available, FPV (First-Person-View) and FPV ready. The FPV ready version has everything included in the box except for the FPV equipment. Like the FPV ready, the FPV version includes the car, battery, charger and transmitter, but you also get a monitor, a fitted FPV camera system and video transmitter. Out of the box,

We have had some brand New RC Products arrive through the doors this week so let’s get into it and show you some of the nice items that we’ve got.

RC Drone and Flying Wing all-in-one

The Blade Inductrix Switch AIR is a brand new product from Blade. It’s super innovative and a really cool idea for a drone crossed with an indoor flying wing. The inductrix Switch AIR has multiple forms. You may already be familiar with the Blade Switch ‘Hovercraft

We’ve restocked some favourite items this week, including Premier Aircraft’s Flex Jet and Cap 232, the E-flite V900, as well as the Trail Honcho and Jeep Cherokee SCX10 IIs by Axial. Let’s get into it!

Flex Jet Thrust Vector Super 

The Flex jet from Premier Aircraft is a super-capable, electric-ducted fan jet. This has been out for a while in the two colours (red and blue), but Premier Aircraft have updated it by adding thrust vectoring, meaning it's opened a wider range of 3D manoeuvres this model can perform, and there’s more control authority, so essentially, you're capable of doing a lot more in the air. The jet comes close to almost assembled, coming pre-fitted with the Aura

Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Replica

Axial has teamed up with Can-Am to produce a realistic Maverick X3 rock racer in a 1/18th scale with a detailed Can-Am finish. This RC car comes with some great features and is ready to run out of the box. One of the big differences between this and previous Axial models is now that they're owned by Horizon Hobby some changes have been made to the electronic package. A Spektrum STX2 transmitter, receiver and a Spektrum servo are included as standard – it also uses a Dynamite 380

New and improved 4WD RC bashers from ARRMA

We're going to cover a couple of new releases from ARRMA that have just arrived – the Talion and Typhon. They're fantastic and exciting cars, so let's get into it and show you the differences between these 2019 specs and the older cars.

The Talion and the Typhon 2019 Spec both have some updates from the previous 2018 version. The most notable updates are the change to a Spektrum radio system and the use of the new IC5 connectors. Like their predecessors, these cars come in an almost ready to run configuration. Both the Talion and Typhon can take up to 6S power and that's what ARRMA provides, super-fast cars that are extremely durable, designed to bash and take anything you can throw at it. Both RC cars come pre-built with
