Our source at Kyosho gave us a bit of information on their upcoming Mini-Z MB-010 Optima 2.4GHz Micro Buggy. The Mini-Z Optima will be 4WD, run oil-filled shocks, use AAA-size batteries and come as a ReadySet with a 2.4 gHz transmitter, or just the chassis if you already have a KT-18 or other Mini-Z compatible 2.4gHz radio.  Kyosho should release more information sometime in September and it should be on sale sometime in November 2011… Just in time for Santa!!

( I hope he leaves one at my house!)

Want a scale-looking truck that can handle any terrain? The 1/24 Micro 4x4 Trail Trekker RTR from Losi is the vehicle for you. The super scale 4x4 Trail Trekker features an articulating suspension that can handle challenging obstacles like the LOSB1622 Micro Terrain Mountain. We've got both of these in stock right now, so get em while you can...Right Here!

I think the Ken Block Fiesta is one of the coolest products to come out of Traxxas in a while. We've got these in stock and ready to ship!  Get yours here!

Yes it is true, we have a limited number (20 to be exact) of brand spanking new XMODS Starter Kits in stock and ready for immediate shipment. If you know XMODS, you know how rare new starter kits are:

We have the XMOD Evo Starter Kit - 2006 Scion tC - Silver

As well as the XMOD Evo Starter Kit - Transformers™ Bumblebee Camaro Concept.

Rob had to brave deep dark dungeons without a flashlight, swim freezing waters in his skivvies, and walk across fire on his hands to acquire these, and he will try, but is not sure he can do it again. So if you have been hankering for a new kit, don't wait, buy it now.

The Worlds Largest Micro RC Store!

I hope everybody has had a good week and has recovered from the Holidays! I know there hasn't been much on the blog this week, we've just been so busy around here so I figured I would drop some new product on you today.

First up is a new micro plane from Kyosho, the Clipped Wing Cub Ready Set. This tiny plane fits in the palm of your hand, but has large plane features such as 4-channel functionality and a 2.4GHz radio!

We also received some killer new Mini-Z Auto Scale Bodies from Kyosho this week. Here's a couple for your viewing pleasure. To see all the new Auto Scales, click here.

Yes you read right, the Team Losi 1:24 Scale Micro Crawlers are in stock and ready ship! You can choose between the "Ready to run" (RTR), or the "bind and drive" (BND) if you already have a Losi 2.4Ghz radio or a spectrun DSM 2.4Ghz radio.  We even have some small cralwer courses you can set up on your desk! These things look like fun, so get one while you can!

 The E-Flight Blade CX3 Looked so cool we just had to break one out and play with it (pun intended)  Check out Robs heli flying skills, and what happens when you let your heli get out of your site line while flying it. 

It's always been a side hobby for a few of us here at AtomicMods, and now we're selling them! Check out our new and ever growing Mini / Micro Aviation category. With names like E-Flight Blade and planes from ParkZone this new category is sure to be a hit!

Are you tired of snapping your stock plastic drive shafts under all the brushless, dual battery power? Upgrade to these steel shafts from Traxxas, and kiss your problems goodbye.

Traxxas Steel Constant Velocity Driveshafts are designed to handle the extreme horsepower and articulation that Mini E-Revo VXL can dish out.The U-joint pins are held captive by a heavy duty o-ring so you never have to worry about losing a pin. The nickel plated steel shafts and black oxide treated accents not only look good, they are designed to exacting specifications for ultimate strength and performance. These are simply the most advanced steel CV driveshafts available for the Mini E-Revo VXL.

Novak’s Goat is back and more versatile than ever. The Goat 3S Crawler Brushless/Brush ESC (#3214) is one of the few crawling-specific, sensored speed controls available and is packed with dozens of features to preserve its superiority on the rock-crawling course. It has the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through Novak’s auto-detect software. This feature allows users to run a wider range of batteries and bestows the Goat 3S with even more power than the original 2S Li-Po Goat Crawler ESC (#3219). Additionally, one of its three profiles is specific for worm-drive vehicles – such as Losi’s® 1/10-Scale Comp Crawler Race Roller™ and Kyosho’s® Rock Force 2.2™ – which do not require electronic drag brakes.

Kyosho has added two more AM Ready Sets to there already impressive line up. The "Vita Phone" Aston Martin and the "Team AF Corse" Ferrari F430. Both of these cars ride on the MR-02 chassis, however the Aston Martin has a 98mm Wheel base and the Ferrari runs a 94mm Wheels base.

Look for these on the site very soon.

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

Kyosho has released a new...(well it's actually pretty old, but new for Kyosho) Porsche 962 from the 1987 Le Mans series. Underneath this beautifully auto scale body sits a 2.4GHz MR-02LM Chassis. All you need is the KT-18 Perfex 2.4GHz Transmitter to hit the track.  We should have the Porsche up on the site pretty soon.

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

Kyosho is on a roll with the new Auto Scale bodies they've released lately. Check out these four new additions to the family.  The Taka-Q #7 Porsche Le Mans, Ferrari F430 GT # 78 Team AF Corse, the Motul Nismo Nissan GT-R Tokachi 24 Hour race edition, and the 2009 Nissan GT-R R34 in Titanium Grey.

We should have these up one the site ready for purchase shortly.

Last week Rob brings me a small scale/working police light bar and says "mount this on something and see what we can do with it!" The first thing I could think of was our Axial SCX10, but why would a white four wheel drive truck have a light bar on top of it? 

The Land Rover Defender 90 U.S. Border Patrol truck was born! Who knows, maybe the U.K. will send us some Defenders to help with our Border security. (probably not)

Check out the video by clicking the photo below and let us know what you think about the Light bar. Is this something you would purchase?

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

The Makers of the XMODS are on a roll! Check out the newest addition to the XMODS Street family. The 2010 Nissan 370Z Starter kit. Pretty sweet indeed...

I had a chance to get my hands on a new XMODS 2010 Mustang GT Starter Kit. Check out the full video review by clicking the photo below.

Jay Huskey Media & Development

We received several of the Kyosho MZX11BL Mini-Z Auto Scale Skyline KPGC10 # 15 Blue Body Set in our last Kyosho shipment. This body directly fits the MR-015 Chassis, but can be modified to fit the MA-010 AWD chassis if you run narrow offset wheels.

This is a RARE body, so don't miss out. This one has been out of stock for over a year and we never know when Kyosho is going to stop production on a body!

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

If your looking for a 1/16 Scale Mini Slash we've got you covered. We are now carrying the full line of these little beasts!  Amsoil Edition (Brushed Motor) and the two brushless trucks (Standard Slash and the Fabtech #3).

If you already have a 1/16 Slash, we also carry the Amsoil and Fabtech body shells so you can change it up a bit if you're getting bored with your current body. We're also carrying a full line of stock replacement parts.

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

If you've had your eyes on a New 2010 Ford Mustang GT, but you can't afford a real one...We have the XMOD For you.

This is probably one of the best looking XMODS to date and you can buy yours here.

Well we received our Link-N-Rocks from RCP Tracks the other day and they look pretty dang cool!  We've been trying them out with our Axial SCX10 and they seem to be perfect for indoor crawling.

We should be shooting some video of the indoor crawling action pretty soon but to tide you over, here's a couple of pics.

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

If you've already broken your Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo or Slash, we're going to be stocking a ton of replacement parts. From Wheels, Servos, Replacement Bodies to suspension parts...we will have you covered!

Give us a few days to get this stuff up on the site, we got a TON of it!

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

When I came in this morning I thought I may have spoken too soon about the lack of 2.4GHz Mini-Z ReadySets...But what I laid my eyes on was a 2.4Ghz MA-010 AWD Chassis with the new Endless Lancer body already installed!  Not quite a Readyset, but definitely a step in the right direction.

John should have these up on the site soon, ready for purchase!

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

 I'm happy to inform you that we have some RCP Link-N-Rocks on the way to us. If you have seen a shot of our track from the shop cam you'll notice that we've reconfigured it a bit so the infield is wide open. That will be the new home of our RCP pre-fabed rocks!

 In addition to RCP's track products, they are in process of manufacturing modular rocks for the RC crawling industry. The rocks can be used for in store display of RC crawling trucks, in store demo purposes of RC crawling trucks and set up for RC rock crawling competition courses. They can be used in the home, office, hobby store or corporate/trade show event. They are rated for  both indoor and outdoor use and weigh less than 8 lbs per rock pod.

 The rocks are made through a special process that gives the texture a realistic look and feel. The rocks offer excellent grip for all types of RC crawling rubber tires. There's nothing like being able to test out your suspension setup "indoors" before you hit the rocks at the comp!

It's getting harder these days to find XMODS other than the new "Streets" and we've been scouring the net looking for XMODS inventory.  We've come across some very interesting stuff out there!

Some of the more rare items we've come up with are some new (that's right, I said NEW) Gen 1's and EVO Trucks. We are planning on having these up on eBay this week, so keep your eyes peeled!

Here's a shot of just a few items we found.

Jay Huskey, Media & Development

The wait is over!  Our stock of the new 1/16 scale Slash and E-Revo will be here this week. 30+ MPH stock out of the box with the supplied battery and 50+MPH with a dual LiPo upgrade. I can't wait to get get my hands on one. AtomicMods Product ID numbers 14919 E-Revo and 14920 Slash.

For all of our fans who have been waiting for a new Manhattan to come out...wait no more. It's finally here!  We have taken all the setups and innovation that we have learned this year and applied them to our Version 2. If you look closely you will notice it's a lot like our team car on steroids. I took my time on this build and can tell you first hand, this car is unbelievably fast...

 Man this truck is sweet! This was a great build and with names like Novak Brushless, Pro-Line, and Mayhem Engineering this 1.9 Trail Rig can handle just about anything we throw at it. Hopfully. Check out the YouTube link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQei1T303xc

One more photo for you. Man this thing is sweet!

 I just got started on our Axial SCX10 1.9 Scale Truck Build yesterday. It's going together quickly, and I can already tell this is a great kit. With our additions like a Novak brushless crawler system, Mayhem Engineering 1.9 Double Phattie Aluminum Wheels, Pro-line CGR Lexan body and a 3s Lipo Battery, this truck will be a TRAIL BEAST!

Just getting started.

I know you don't stop thinking about your favorite RC after you put it on the shelf.  You probably go to work and/or school thinking about it.  Now when you sit down at your computer, you can keep a car in the palm of your hand!

Finding time away from the shop is hard unless you are on a mission to get some really cool videos of our Tamiya CR01 and 3Racing new working winch. Here is a pic of myself and Jay working the camera....video coming soon.

 The Kyosho Rock Force is back! Ok, so it's not new but it's back in stock!  Now on to the new stuff!  (we have the high speed worm gears and the Kyosho option spring set in stock as well for this beast)

 Alright, a few things I'm excited to see...

We just got the Pro-line Ambush lexan body for the Axial AX-10(scale accessories not included) with the scale roll cage. We've got it with or without the cage. We'll also be carrying the scale accessories packs from Pro-line you see here. (roof rack, light bar, wester style bumpers, accessory packs, etc....)

Here's one of the accessory packs we'll be carrying

The winch you see above is NOT a working winch, BUT we already have the 3 racing 1/10 scale fully operational winch in stock! (see below) Pretty cool.

Last but least, we're expecting the new Axial SCX10 1.9 scale truck kit mid February. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!  (I'm a bit of a "scale truck" junkie)

SCX10 chassis (below)

I think that's enough for now, see you on the rocks! (or trail)

• Worm gear design allows a large gear reduction ratio to be fitted into a compact space that also delivers high strength and easy maintenance. The small number of moving gears also minimizes the potential for trouble and results in greater reliability.
  
  
• The large gear reduction ratio works fine with the standard power output of a 20T to 27T motor. Not only can you avoid the high-cost of a special motor, worm gear technology also produces highly efficient and powerful torque delivering excellent low range control.
  
  
• No special ESC is required to add a drag brake.  The one-way drive transfer of the worm-gears prevents reverse rotation of the tires so the tires lock automatically when the throttle is released. This also provides powerful stopping effect on steep slopes and works well with standard speed controllers.
