When randomly browsing around YouTube (as you do) I spotted a video with the title ‘RC IR Tank Battle 1/16th scale‘. I thought to myself ‘an RC tank battle, that sounds pretty cool’ so I watched it. Now I guess I should have thought it through as watching a home-movie of an IR battle is unlikely to be quite as exciting as you may hope! See the video below.
I don’t think any of the major networks will be picking it up for main-stream scheduling any time soon, but I may be wrong. Still, I guess the guys taking part enjoyed it. I’d rather have RC tanks that shoot stuff I can see though I reckon.
The release of the neat little 1/10 scale HPI Racing Formula Ten electric RC car shouldn’t be far off now as HPI have been promising that it will be ready for summer. The kit comes with an all-new chassis and in the words of HPI ‘The Formula Ten is an easy to drive, simple to build replica of the cars that millions of racing fans around the world love to watch in action, and it’s the ideal starting point for motorsports fan of any age or ability level, whether it’s your first car or your twentieth‘. So apparently the car is for anyone – though I guess they would say that.
This rather cool looking electric rc car is a pretty accurate replica of the full size cars and being supplied in kit form with a clear shell you get the ‘fun’ of adding everything including the servos, transmitter, electronic speed controller, 540 motor and the battery. Oh, and you can also paint it however you like!
The HPI Formula Ten featured amongst a range of HPI products at the 48th Shizuoka Hobby Show 2009 held last weekend.
See pictures below of the kit in the form you will be able to buy it and one on display at the Shizuoka Hobby Show. We’ll post again when the Formula Ten is actually available.
