OVERVIEW

Welcome the Stage-D10, HPI’s all-new, purpose-built, 1/10-scale rear-wheel-drive drift platform, combining an excellent Ready-To-Run setup with the huge range of tuning possibilities demanded by today’s RC drifting scene. HPI also offers the Stage-D10 Creator Edition which delivers a completely built drift chassis, ready for you to add your own choice of body, wheels, tires and electronics.

Developed from the ground up over three years, the Stage-D10 has been vigorously tested across multiple surfaces, by drivers ranging from RWD newcomers to the best of the best in RC drifting. That testing helped HPI refine the chassis, add new features and develop a stock setup that delivers performance that they can promise straight out of the box. And for those who like to tinker, there’s a serious amount of adjustment waiting for you to explore on the chassis.

Because this is HPI, the first Stage-D10 RTR cars are topped with stunning, officially licensed 2024 Ford Mustang RTR Spec-5 FD bodies, complete with authentic Formula Drift liveries, molded scale details, replica wheels and a full LED light system.

“I am really excited to see the new ProTek RC RM650S and RM650T servos come to market,” states Maifield, a two-time world 1/10 scale off-road champion and one of the winningest 1/8 scale racers in history. “This servo platform, formerly known as the 170SBL and 170TBL, has been so responsive and reliable for my 1/8 scale racing program for years. When you go out for an intense 60-minute main, you want to know that your servos are going to perform at the highest level from start to finish. And that is something the ProTek RC servo line has always done for me.”

The ProTek RC RM650S and RM650T brushless servo technology is industry-leading and is now backed by a lifetime gear warranty through AMain Hobbies. The aluminum upper case provides extreme condition durability, and the heat sink center case offers efficient heat dissipation and reduces weight. The lead wire is detachable, allowing custom tailoring to the servo lead, and package includes both 135mm and 285mm length servo leads. A full selection of servo arms and mounting hardware is also included for easy installation.

OVERVIEW

Authorized by Ford Motor Company, the FMS model is built on the all-new FCX18 second-generation low center of gravity (LCG) chassis and introduces the classic Ford F-100 in scale form. The Ford F-100 body features a durable hard-shell construction, with FMS meticulously replicating the original vehicle’s proportions and design lines.

The vehicle features a fully molded scale interior, complete with mirrors and steering wheel, integrated with a synchronized lighting control system. Factory-installed headlights, taillights, turn signals, and roof-mounted spotlights are all individually controllable with linked lighting functions. A 2-in-1 brushed motor and ESC system with a selectable switching function allows easy replacement and future upgrades. Hidden wiring within the body and chassis simplifies installation, storage, and customization. Officially licensed BFGoodrich KO3 tires deliver an aggressive appearance while accurately replicating the driving posture and traction characteristics expected of a scale crawler.

In terms of power and handling, the Ford F-100 features a full-time 4WD drivetrain. A high-performance 180 brushed motor is mounted at the front of the chassis to provide strong, consistent power output. The LCG layout combined with the magnetic quick-release body system is a key feature of the second-generation FCX18 platform, improving climbing stability and vehicle posture while reducing rollover risk on technical terrain. Different Painted body shells can be swapped in approximately two seconds, and the magnetic interface automatically supplies power to the body-mounted lighting system, allowing full lighting activation directly from the transmitter.

TOP HIGHLIGHTS

• Officially Licensed Ford F-100 Body
• Officially Licensed BFGoodrich KO3 Tires
• Highly Detailed Scale Exterior & Interior
• All-New FCX18 II Low Center-Of-Gravity Chassis
• Full Light System With Multiple Modes

The rear view shows off the detailed engine, and you can see the roll cage bars through the rear window. The tires and wheels appear to be shared with the BBX.

This underside look reveals Tamiya’s latest spin on Beetle-style front trailing arms. If you prefer to build for pure performance, optional parts for a conventional double A-arm setup will also be included. The detailing on the battery door evokes the belly pan of an actual VW Beetle.

The full-caged chassis looks fantastic, as do the pilot and navigator figures. Note the wheel wells molded into the chassis, with pass-throughs for the rear shocks.

Here’s a closer look at the engine. According to Tamiya’s Fred Medel, the stinger pipe is made of nylon and designed to flex and return to shape – just in case you were worried about it being easy to break.

It’s a great-looking kit! Watch the full Tamiya USA video below (or click here), and follow this link to see the Dune Beetle’s page at the Tamiya site.

BB-02 chassis

• The rear-wheel drive BB-02 chassis has floor pan design motifs with front and rear tire housings to protect the model from dust.

• Front double wishbone arms: Common on unlimited class vehicles / long arms give superlative ground-hugging / stable jumps / suited to off-road courses.

• Adaptive dampers limit oil leakage. As the piston moves the oil seal changes shape and air passes through the hole, reducing oil leakage.

• Full Ball Bearings included with hex screw hardware.

• The battery pack can be installed from the bottom of the chassis by opening its hatch.

• Hex hub wheels are paired with front rib pattern tires for directional stability and rear square spike tires for high grip. (*Hex hub wheel shape is the same as that of Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01), and tires are from Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01).)

OVERVIEW

After years of development and refinement Agama’s lowest COG design concept is enhanced even further with the production of the Agama N2. Its unique suspension creates an incredibly low COG (Centre of Gravity) race car, while years of experience from Agama’s engineering team ensured that the new buggy isn’t just fast—it’s also the easiest car in its class to wrench on. Lower COG makes the N2 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds than your average 1/8-scale buggy. It’s not just in the corners where the N2 excels, through bumps it stays very flat with less tendency to want to flip over and in the air the N2 flies very low and stable thanks to its unique aerodynamics.

The post Agama N2e 1/8 Electric Competition Buggy Kit appeared first on RC Driver.

OVERVIEW

This precision-built model captures the aggressive stance, signature rooster tail, and raw speed of its full-scale inspiration. Powered by the Spektrum 8S 160A Smart ESC and the high-output Spektrum Marine 4685 4-pole water-cooled brushless motor, the U-34 Hydro launches off the line with authority and screams across the surface at 70+ MPH. This RTR delivers a lake-ready platform with premium electronics, CNC aluminum hardware, and enough performance to turn heads at any lake. True hydroplane platforms like this are typically custom-built and cost-prohibitive, so getting one in a ready-to-run package that performs at this level will get you on the water that much faster.
