Redcat Racing Rampage Chimera EP Pro 1/5 TH Scale Brushless SandRail




Well this Rail just showed up on the Redcat sight and it looks like a cool car . It seems to be using a similar chassis to their Rampage XB-E and seems to have a slightly higher KV motor . I think the overall look is pretty good but I think I would have prefered a wing similar to the one used on the Mirage 1/8th scale buggy.

Turnigy Infrared Thermometer (-33 ~ 180Celsius) (USA Warehouse)

Well been thinking for a long time that I needed a more compact thermometer so I put this into my cart to top it off . Really have no complaints it uses common button cell batteries that are easy to get and seems as accurate as my other thermometers construction seems good but only time will tell. I'll be sure to update this if it ends up dying.

Turnigy Pure-Silicone Wire 14AWG 12AWG red black




Well I got my second batch of wire from hobbyking and its just as good as before.I can say I that I fully endorse this product and will continue to buy more . The silicon used is top quality and the wire itself has proven to be very  flexible and still resist to internal breakage.

STRC Alum Front Hinge-Pin Brace Associated SC10/B4/T4

Picked this up when I made my Tower Hobbies order for my B4.2RS and it seems that it is a reasonably quality piece as it is machined accurately and fits well . I do wish the anodizing was a bit thicker or more durable as I have already scratched it in a few places and eventually it will be more silver than gray but since I bought this for its improved strength  vs the stock piece and its low cost I suppose I shouldn't complain too much.
