LRP SPX Zero BRUSHLESS Speed Control

Bringing back “True Stock Racing”

In today’s stock racing, the latest stock speed controls have achieved near modified-level high speeds, making them difficult for beginners to race. With the brand new LRP SPX Zero, LRP offers an easy solution. The new SPX Zero packages the latest brushless technology with “normal” speed and easy operation.

Boost Zero Mode restricts the power to set limits while still allowing the motor to run very efficiently. Every racer will be able to match the optimal speed control setting to the track according to their driving ability—just start at zero timing and move up. With the LRP SPX Zero, the unfair differences in performance between stock speed controls is now a thing of the past, and we can once again look forward to exciting and close racing on the race track.

• Boost Zero Mode: No speed control timing for true stock racing—easily indicated by a flashing LED for inspectors
• Advanced Digital with 4 adjustable modes: Fully adjustable AutoCell System, Power Profiles, Initial Brake, and Auto-Brake
• 6 Power Profiles: Great tuneability for all track conditions
• Internal Temp Check System: Allows you to read out the maximum internal temperature the speed control reached
• Sensored Brushless Technology: Results in perfect control at low and high RPMs, as well as perfect brake control
• Forward/Brake: Uncompromising forward/brake race design without reverse for outstanding race performance
• AutoCell System: NiMH/NiCd/LiPo automatic adaptation

AKA is proud to announce the release of the CITYBLOCK SC and GRIDIRON SC tires designed specifically for the 1/10 short course trucks. These tires are made to fit the stock wheels from all the popular short course trucks. Designed by Gil Losi, Jr. and Mark Pavidis, these tires feature a 2.2”/3” bead design and an inner carcass design made to perfectly fit the industry standard AKA closed cell foams.

The CITYBLOCK pattern is our best selling tread pattern and will be the most versatile SC tire available. The GRIDIRON is suited to high bite blue grooved tracks with little dust where a short pin is a must to keep the truck consistent. Combine these two tires with the already successful WISHBONE SC and ENDURO SC, winner of the Short Course Nationals at R/C Madness Raceway, and there is no condition AKA can't handle on an SC truck.

RPM Releases the HPI Baja 5B / 5T Rear Bumper

Rear impacts & tail first landings with a 5th scale vehicle are sure to do some damage, but not if you put your trust in RPM. Products from RPM are incredibly durable and this new rear bumper for the HPI Baja 5B & 5T is no exception. Minor tweaks have been made to the stock design, improving strength and durability, keeping your rear end in one piece when things get out of hand. Our smoothly contoured shapes not only make our rear bumper design stronger, but also make it look much more finished and aesthetically appealing. Additionally, all stock geometry is retained. We even retained the stock exhaust pipe support wire mounting hole and shelf for those running the HPI aluminum tuned exhaust pipe (HPI #86690).

RPM rear bumpers for the 5B & 5T are inexpensive protection for expensive aftermarket pipes as well. If you spent a small fortune on a tuned pipe that relies on the rear bumper for protection, shouldn’t you depend on a name that has become synonymous with crash survivability? RPM rear bumpers are designed to survive and protect!

RPM rear bumpers are molded in black from our secret blend of superior materials and fit all versions of the HPI 5B and 5T. Confidence inspiring protection that won’t leave your wallet in pain!

Novak’s Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC

Novak’s Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC is here! The Kinetic 1S is optimized for 1S Li-Po racing: It sports a low-profile heat sink for easy installation in vehicles with space constraints and is also wired for use with a 2S Li-Po receiver battery pack. And like the Kinetic 2S, this speed control includes all of the most sought-after ESC features, such as Novak’s redesigned Dynamic Timing Advance™, the digital current limiting Electronic Power Control™ feature, the advanced NovaBrakes™ system and a highly developed Thermal Overload Protection feature.

The Kinetic 1S (#1741) is scheduled to ship in August 2010.

Since its initial release, Novak’s flagship Kinetic Racing Brushless ESC has been revised, updated and packed full with new incredible features. Novak’s Dynamic Timing Advance™ has been refined to feature a cutting-edge timing system that is exceptionally smooth throughout all of the timing levels; the Kinetic’s brakes have been updated to the advanced NovaBrakes™ system, which provides instantaneous braking under any timing condition; and a highly developed Thermal Overload Protection feature has been added that prevents thermal overload without taking drivers out of the race. These new features combined with the Kinetic’s impressive standard features, such as the digital current control, built-in PC interface and extensive on-board programmability, make this next-generation speed control a must-have to all competitive racers.

The suspense is over! The Kinetic (#1740), Kinetic/Ballistic Brushless Systems (#3142-#3149) and NovaLink (#5440) are scheduled to ship by the end of July 2010.

Precision CNC machined from high-grade aluminum, our caster blocks and steering knuckle greatly improves durability and add that great factory looks to the front suspension of your Jammin SCRT10. The Steering Knuckle increases the steering angle over the stock plastic unit for even tighter turning radius, and for precise fit and tolerance, the bearing holes are drilled after the part has been anodized to ensure the tightest tolerance possible around the bearings. The C-Hub greatly improves durability as well as the Steering Bellcrank system, addressing the weak spots on the Jammin SCRT10. Available in Gun Metal anodizing.

HPI Announces Mini-Trophy 1/12th Scale 4WD Desert Truck

For the off-road racing enthusiast, this is the perfect truck!
It's a marriage of scale realism, HPI durability, drivability and most importantly - FUN!

SCALE REALISM
It's no secret that scale realism is what everyone wants and HPI Racing delivers this in a package influenced by the relationship with a full-size off-road desert race team - TSA Motorsports. An interesting note about this particularly "special project" is the fact that TSA used the body styling from HPI Racing and shaped the TSA full-size 7200 class truck to look like the HPI Mini-Trophy Truck. Yes, the HPI Mini-Trophy came first!

HPI DURABILITY
The HPI Mini-Trophy Truck uses nothing but the finest grade, high-impact nylon plastic on the most critical areas of the truck - from the bumpers to the super beefy arms and everything in between. HPI's industry known strength and durability makes the MINI-TROPHY friendly for all, and most of all - FUN!

DRIVABILITY
With a four wheel drive system, driving is made easy. Drivability testing has rendered extremely impressive results. Add more power with a brushless system and the stability and control is still there! The truck simply drives really well in the loose dirt. When traction breaks loose and the rear end of the vehicle is swung out and on-throttle, the truck remains controllable. Bottom line, this 4WD technical feature adds to the overall fun factor.

HISTORY OF FUN
At HPI Racing, our motto is, "Creating Fun Since 1986." We keep that passion and driving force at the forefront and when projects like this are developed, we are especially excited with both the R/C vehicle replica and the relationship with the full-size race vehicle! HPI's passion for R/C is a reflection of our enthusiasm for motorsports.
