ZIP-UP HOODIE

Opinions about hoodies are like noses – we all have one. And one of my pet peeves is that it’s somewhat difficult to find logo wear hoodies that zip up! Again, Pro-Line comes to the rescue with a new (and zippy) hoodie! The hoodie has the Pro-Line stacked logo on the chest and a full logo on the left sleeve. Available from Pro-Line or your local hobby dealer. Part no. 9807-04, Price, $50.00

Their newest offering is a brushed only speed control designed as an upgrade for the large number of RTR vehicles that come with brushed motors. The Tritronic has three different modes of operation which are compatible with the needs of different vehicles. Bashers need voltage cut-off, racers need temperature sensing and signal loss protection and all of these features are built into this speed control. Part no. ESC-1060-WP, Price, $18.90

The Onyx 110 can charge both NiCad and NiMh battery packs.

TRACKSTAR D SPEC DRIFT GYRO

TrackStar has come up with a great drift oriented gyro for anyone desiring to improve their overall drift performance, including straight line performance. The D Spec gyro is easy to install – just plug between the steering servo and the receiver. There are two adjustments, the compensation, which sets the direction aspect and gain, which is the sensitivity of the unit. With a three channel transmitter the degree of compensation can be adjusted on the fly. Though tiny (21mm x 21mm x 11mm), the D Spec Gyro delivers big performance at a low price.
