Arrma Typhon MEGA 550 RC Buggy

The Arrma Typhon MEGA 550 is a new product that is Ready-To-Run and an affordable way to get into RC. It is a 1/8th Scale 4WD buggy making it perfect for BMX tracks and parks – it can get over large obstacles, has more suspension travel and is a bit better at landing

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,

ECX have always had a great range of RC cars and trucks and as in any scenario when you are spoilt for choice, making a final decision can be difficult! Hence the reason why we have put together this buyer's guide for ECX remote control vehicles. We hope that it helps you narrow down your selection to help you find the perfect ECX car or truck to suit your needs.

For The Beginner

A great place to start with ECX remote control cars is the vehicle size. ECX cars come in two sizes: 1/10th- and 1/18th-scale, with the majority of their products falling in the first category. This is quite normal for most RC car brands; 1/10-scale is the standard size for most remote control vehicles. 1/18-scale cars certainly have their benefits, though. If you are looking for a great gift idea (especially for children), 1/18-scale RC cars are lots of fun. Their small size makes them easy to handle and it is quite feasible to drive them both outside and inside the house (without wreaking too much havoc)! ECX have two fantastic 1/18-scale cars that would make for great gift ideas (especially for Christmas).

The 1/18-scale Torment is a thrill to drive. It comes with four wheel drivetrain, oil-filled shocks and everything you require included in the box. It has a great short-course truck design with a striking trim scheme that will stand out wherever you go.  It is powered by a Dynamite 380-sized brushed motor and comes with a 6-cell NiMH battery (a charger is also included).

Recently on the Modelflight Blog, we have been talking about the new 4WD versions of already-popular ECX RC cars. From the ECX Torment to the Circuit RC truck, these new, upgraded-drivetrain vehicles are some of the most popular new products to emerge from the 2014 Nuremberg Toy Fair. Today, we wanted to focus on one of these new ECX trucks, the 4WD Ruckus RC monster truck, an update of the original Ruckus RC truck.

The original Ruckus was a dream-come-true for many; a gutsy RC monster truck that could easily be driven by beginners. The new 2014 Ruckus RC truck maintains that strong

The 2014 ECX Torment has always been popular with drivers looking for their first RC truck and today we are pleased to announce that a new version of the Torment is coming soon to Modelflight. Ready-to-run with four wheel drive transmission, the new ECX Torment takes performance to a whole new level. This short course RC truck comes equipped with a strong Dynamite 15T brushed motor, coupled with a Speedpack 8.4V 7-Cell NiMH battery pack. This gives you the power you need to venture into territory that would normally be inaccessible for 2WD RC trucks.

The ECX Circuit has always been a popular choice for drivers looking for their first RC truck and today we are thrilled to announce that a new 4WD version of this car is coming soon to Modelflight. Ready-to-run with a brushed Dynamite power system, the ECX Circuit  2014 offers all the fun of its predecessor with the ability to tackle more extreme terrains.

The shaft-driven 4WD platform in the Circuit gives the truck more ability than the average 2WD vehicle. Combined with its strong 15T brushed motor and Speedpack 8.4V 7-cell NiMH battery, this stadium truck packs plenty of punch. ECX have also equipped the Circuit
