With the release of the brand-new Arrma Kraton 8S, we were lucky enough to get our hands one for a test drive and review... and what an epic car! The Kraton 8S is a massive 1/5th scale beast that is packed full of features and can reach speeds up to 90km/h. We’re going to break this review down into the three main categories of any RC car – electronics, maintenance and durability. Let’s get into it!

Electronics

Because the Kraton 8S is a large 1/5th scale RC car, from the electronic point of view there are certainly some new products, running a full Spektrum system including the DX2E Active transmitter and SR6100AT AVC receiver that allows you to add telemetry functions. With the Spektrum radio system and some additional sensors we have a huge range of telemetry available to us, making it possible to keep track of things like ESC temperature, motor RPM, receiver voltage and drive pack voltage

Build your own DHC-2 Beaver 

Building RC model airplanes from kits are making a comeback in the RC hobby. Nothing can beat the satisfaction that comes from successfully flying a model you built yourself! Unfortunately, most kits today were designed in the days before modern CAD systems, leaving much to be desired in terms of parts fit, ease of assembly, and at times even basic engineering.

Moustache Model Works was established to address this growing niche in the hobby market. By applying modern 3D CAD to the design process, they create kits that remain true to established design and construction principles, but that ensure accurate parts fit, ease of assembly, and scale fidelity. The result is a kit that's a joy to build as well as to fly.

Learn to fly with the HobbyZone AeroScout S

The AeroScout S is a brand-new release from HobbyZone that is an ideal beginner plane which takes ease of assembly to a whole new level. The only thing you need to put this model plane together is one screw for the front nose wheel and three thumbscrews for the wing – no glue or tape is required – meaning you can get out to the field and flying sooner. Not only does the AeroScout make assembly a breeze but learning to fly a model plane is easier than ever thanks to the exclusive SAFE technology. With progressive flight modes, you can advance with this plane as your skills improve and develop.

The size of the AeroScout makes it the perfect aircraft to fly around a smaller park
