As soon as I heard the news about the Losi Micro Crawler, I couldn't wait to get my hands one! It's really exiting (to me) as a scale/off-road enthusiast to see the area of the hobby i enjoy so much, expand into all the separate scales and classes.

 I had all these little scale truck designs going through my head about which 1:25 scale model kit I was going to buy to turn my micro crawler into a micro "scaler". I think I had three bodies on my work bench before I even had the crawler!

This has turned out to be one fun little truck that I can pretty much run wherever I want. Check out the video below for a close up look at my custom micro Hummer H2T.

The latest SCX10 is inspired by off-road vehicles that are basically part truck and part buggy, nicknamed "truggies". The Axial SCX10 is the kit to have when it comes to having a realistic looking truggy. It incorporates realistic features like a steel c-channel ladder frame, plastic molded cage, and plastic front bumper with aluminum skid plates to attack the trails with. These are just a few of the items that set these kits apart.

This kit is available for pre-order, and should be shipping late January.

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.

It looks like UPS will be delivering packages tomorrow Thursday Dec 31st (New Years Eve) but will not be picking up orders, which means anything ordered after 2:00pm Central Standard Time today Dec 30th won't be picked up by UPS until Monday January 4th. All orders placed with USPS shipping will still be shipped tomorrow.

Also we will not be in the shop Friday January 1st for New Years Day or the weekend (as usual) So all orders placed Thursday night and all day Friday will not go out until Monday the 4th.

Don't forget to check out our "New Stuff" category...We've been getting in some pretty sweet items!

If you're wondering just how far you can take an Xmods Street, take a look at Ely Levy's Mustang Street out of New York. The car came to us for some upgrades and it already had almost every GPM aluminum part you can put on one of these(installed)! We went ahead and took it to the next level for Ely with a AtomicMods 2s Lipo battery pack, a Pro-Ready 2X6 Stacked F.E.T. Main Board and a Atomic T2 Motor. This is one ballistic Xmod (looks pretty good too).

Here's a few pics for your drooling enjoyment!

Seeing as how were really just a bunch of tech geeks selling R.C. products, Rob though it would be cool to hook up our web cam to the "Live Cam" iPhone Application. If you have an iPhone you can download this app, view, and control our web cam (as well as a few thousand others) live via your phone. Once you've loaded the app you can find our cam under "People". We should be the first cam.

Here's a couple of screen shots from Robs iPhone.

It's not too late for all you last minute shoppers out there! You can still get your gifts before Christmas if you use UPS 2nd Day Air for all orders placed today and tomorrow before 2:00PM Central Standard Time or Next Day Air for orders placed after 2:00PM Tuesday and before 2:00PM CST Wednesday.

Kyosho just released two new MR03s from their stable, and these are my favorite so far. The Porsche 911 GT1 #25 and the Sauber Mercedes C9. We have both of these cars in stock ready to ship! Don't forget the KT-18 Transmitter if you don't already have one.
