The Traxxas Slash has been around for a number of years now in both 2wd and 4wd configurations, with a variety of different body shell designs and colour schemes, but 2012 sees the most radical overhaul of this venerable RC Short Course truck in the form of the F150 Raptor SVT. The C-TRX5806 two wheel drive model sees the tried and tested 2wd Slash chassis being graced with an officially licensed Ford SVT Raptor body shell and graphics and I have to say it’s one of my favourites. The Gun Metal Grey version looks particularly stunning in its simple, single colour livery.

Traxxas 5806 Ford F150 Raptor Short Course Truck

As always, the model comes ready to run with a TQ 2.4Ghz Radio System pre-installed. A powercell 3000mAh 8.4v Nimh battery and a charger. Licensed BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tyres are responsible for putting the power from the powerful Titan 12T 550 sized motor to the track and the included XL-5 Waterproof electronic speed controller has built in low voltage protection to enable you to run LiPo batteries with the model too.

A brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal gear transmission is also fitted as standard as well as Traxxas’ tried and tested Torque Control slipper clutch system. A quick and robust model straight from the box is what you get here, with speeds of up to 30mph+ using the included optional 23 tooth pinion gear.

Tamiya 58512 VW Camper Wheelie (WR-02) http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/08/tamiya-58512-vw-camper-wheelie-wr-02/ http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/08/tamiya-58512-vw-camper-wheelie-wr-02/#comments Thu, 16 Aug 2012 05:52:31 +0000 Justin http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/?p=407

Tamiya 58512 VW Camper Wheelie WR-02

Since its release earlier in the summer, my opinion on the Tamiya 58512 VW Camper Wheelie kit has been somewhat divided. Whilst I’m a huge fan of the real thing, Tamiya have perhaps pushed things a little far with this, creating a bit of an oddity maybe. The 58512 VW Camper depicts a 1st-generation, T1 split screen variant of the Volkswagen Camper Van, which was also known as the Volkswagen Bus to many of loyal fans. On first look, the shell looks like a pretty decent representation of the real thing, but on closer inspection, they’ve played around with the geometry of the shell quite a bit, so its usefulness as a scale shell may be somewhat limited.

That said, the new WR-02 chassis is equipped with a wheelie bar to enable exciting, wheels in the air driving action. Which is what the Tamiya WR-02 vehicle are all about!

Tamiya has reproduced this model with a comical appearance to result in this fun-filled model which is fine with me. Whether it will gain the popularity of the Lunch Box over time, who knows. But I recently had the pleasure of building one for myself for my magazine column in RC Racer, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the chassis build. Once completed, the body shell looks great, but the sheer volume of masking required and the number of window decals that have to be cut out by hand is insane!

Features & Specification

  • Chassis: ABS Monocoque
  • Suspension: 4 wheel independent
  • Damper Type: Plastic coil over friction
  • Drive Train: 2WD gearbox (Pre-assembled)
  • Motor Included: Electric type 540
  • Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)
  • Bodyshell: Polycarbonate

Kyosho Sand Master Ready Set Version

Supplied factory assembled and finished, ready to use straight out of the box! The Sand Masters is built for customers that want an easy to use and reliable rc-car without the hassle of constructing the car first. Based on the race winning design of the Ultima series of 2WD cars the EZ Series Sand Master is designed for use on every surface, from sand and gravel, to asphalt and grass. The ready set version of the Sand Master is the perfect choice for anyone entering the rc car hobby. The ready to run version also comes with a state of the art 2.4Ghz KT-200 Syncro radio system which certainly sets the benchmark among other manufacturers for a model of this price. This means you can run several Sand Masters together in the same location without fear of the frequency and channel clashes you’d expect with older 27 & 40Mhz crystal based systems offered by other manufacturers.

Models Available
  • #30831T1 Sand Master Type 1 -- red
  • #30831T2 Sand Master Type 2 -- yellow
  • #30831T3 Sand Master Type 3 -- light-blue

Kyosho Sand Master Kit Version

The EZ Build Kit version of the Sand Master is supplied as a self assembly model kit, which has always been the traditional way that hobby grade RC cars were supplied. The advantage of opting for the kit built version being that you get to know your model inside out before you run it, so if things go wrong, you know exactly where to look! You also get to choose which radio system etc you use with the car as well as having the opportunity to customize and fine tune it as you go.

The EZ Built Kit is supplied with some of the more complex parts such as the gear box, shocks and body shell already completed in the factory though, keeping the time from box to bash to the bear minimum. All you have to do is assemble the rest of the parts, add the radio, battery and charger of your choice and you’ll be up and running in just a couple of hours. Doing it this way though your learning much more about how the vehicle works.

The Mother of all Tamiya Monster Trucks is back for 2012… Yes, this year, the Tamiya Super Clod Buster returns as model number 58518. Featuring a body shell inspired by classic pick-up trucks from the 1980′s, this Tamiya Behemoth has the ultimate realistic appearance. The front grille, massive supercharger air intake and roll bar are recreated with high quality metal-plated parts for ultimate realism.

This radio controlled truck from the kings of Scale RC features 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering making it a tru 4x4x4. It also features a twin-motor dual gearbox drivetrain for an incredible level of power and sheer craziness. 8 coil spring dampers soak up the rough terrain and massive 165mm diameter tyres complete the look. If you’re looking for an RC monster truck with the ultimate scale look, then the Super Clod should definitely be on your list for consideration.

Tamiya 58525 Wild One Off Road Buggy 2012 Re-Release http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/tamiya-58525-wild-one-off-road-buggy/ http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/tamiya-58525-wild-one-off-road-buggy/#comments Mon, 28 May 2012 05:04:39 +0000 Justin http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/?p=354

The Wild One is back for 2012 as model number 58525. This distinctive looking off-road buggy originally hit the shelves back in 1985 and has become a real classic. This year we see the return of the wild one to the Tamiya range. Available in kit form, the Wild One features a 2 wheel drive configuration with gear based differential. Suspension is fully independent double wishbone giving excellent performance over rough terrain, with aluminium oil filled dampers soaking up the bumps and pot-holes.

Rear pin-spiked tyres provide excellent grip on grass, gravel, sand and loose dirt whilst metal shielded ball bearings give increased run time and friction free acceleration. The polycarbonate body shell is provided un-painted to allow you to create your own, custom paint scheme for the Wild One if you so desire, or you can go down the iconic black box art route to keep it true to tradition.

Tamiya Wild One Off Road Buggy 58525 Chassis

One notable upgrade over the original model is the replacement of the original mechanical speed controller with the now LiPo compatible TEU-104BK esc which provides smooth forward and reverse acceleration as well effective braking too.

The Tamiya 58525 Re-Release is due to hit our shelves around June 2012.

Schumacher Cougar SV2 2WD Off Road RC Buggy http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/schumacher-cougar-sv2-2wd-off-road-rc-buggy/ http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/schumacher-cougar-sv2-2wd-off-road-rc-buggy/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 05:18:56 +0000 Justin http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/?p=340

Schumacher are never ones to rest on their laurels. They’re back in 2012 with the new Cougar SV2, a revised, updated and improved version of the Cougar SV, winner of the BRCA 1:10 Off-Road National Championships. The SV2 sits much lower then its predecessor and its sleeker lines and hard anodised, laser-etched chassis is now 8mm longer than the SV too. Heavy duty race spec differential, uprated bearings and tougher driveshafts have also been shoehorned into this rather capable off road racer.

Available in both assembled and kit form, the Schumacher Cougar SV2 is destined to be a winner at many international clubs in the near future as I’m confident it’ll see some National and International titles notched up on its bed post before long too!

LRP Deep Blue One High Speed RC Racing Boat RTR 310100 http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/lrp-deep-blue-one-high-speed-rc-racing-boat-rtr-310100/ http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/lrp-deep-blue-one-high-speed-rc-racing-boat-rtr-310100/#comments Thu, 10 May 2012 09:49:52 +0000 Justin http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/?p=319

After the successfully establishing itself in the field of RC model aircraft, LRP have now branched out into the maritime arena with the launch of the Deep Blue One high speed RC racing boat.

This small, agile and fast craft comes in ready to run format equipped with a powerful motor and a reinforced propeller. The Deep Blue One is ready for lots of high speed races in rough seas or on calm and tranquil ponds. The battery warning system is rather handy too as it notifies the user as soon as the battery begins to reach the empty mark, giving you plenty of time to get back to the harbour.

It also has a decent range of 100 metres too and couple that with the waterproof electronics, this offshore model is the perfect must have for all speed boat fans. I’ve got one on order now for the summer holidays… I’ll be smuggling it into the back of the Motorhome for our trip to Cornwall in August!

In use, this compact speed boat is very easy to control and almost unsinkable, making it the perfect entry point for anyone wanting to get into the world of boat modelling.

Ansmann W6 Three Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/ansmann-w6-three-channel-2-4ghz-radio-system/ http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/2012/05/ansmann-w6-three-channel-2-4ghz-radio-system/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 10:52:00 +0000 Justin http://www.essentialrc.co.uk/?p=267

Looking for a budget 3 channel 2.4Ghz radio system to use with your Nitro or Electric RC Car? Then take a look at the Ansmann W6 budget 2.4Ghz radio system from Ansmann. This feature packed digital system offers features often found on much more expensive RC systems for under £70, which we think is a bargain.

Ansmann W6 2.4Ghz Transmitter

Featuring quick and easy Digital set-up and trimming, it doesn’t take long to get the W6 installed and ready to go. A nice, clearly arranged display gives you an overview of the most important settings at a glance including model number, trim settings, servo reverse, travel adjustment and more. Also supplied in the box is the rather compact R5 mini 3 Channel receiver, which is quick and easy to set up.

One of the most useful features of this model is the built in 10 model memory, which allows you to use this transmitter with multiple models that have the R5 mini-receivers fitted. As well as being suitable for use with Nitro & Petrol RC Cars that require a fail-safe / kill switch, the W6 can also be used quite comfortably with any 2 channel rc car too, either just ignore the 3rd channel or make use of it for controlling lights or other features etc.

Key Features

  • 3 channel
  • 10 model memory
  • Easy programming and operation via push and spin control
  • Servo reverse for all 3 channels
  • Trimming for all 3 channels
  • Exponential
  • ABS
  • Servo travel adjustment
  • Dual rate
  • Illuminated display
  • Battery compartment for LiPo and NiMH stick-pack
  • Fail-safe programmable
  • Receiver and transmitter come pre-linked from the factory
  • 3-channel 2.4Ghz mini receiver R5
