The Reaction features a push-button starting system and electric reverse so you won’t need to worry about pull cords, starter boxes or handheld starters thanks to the on-board electric motor and transmitter-activated starter. Just press the button and the engine roars to life, ready for any track or backyard. And, if you run out of fuel or get stuck, the electric reverse option lets you drive the truck back to you quickly and simply. Built on a sturdy, durable chassis, the Reaction is designed for hours of high-speed, hassle-free nitro excitement.

Sportwerks bring 1/14 scale

Sportwerks have announced that they will be releasing these all new E-Racers for 2007. I have little or no information to go on except that they are called ReCoil, they come in 1/14 scale, they are 4wd shaft driven and sure do look slick.

The release of a 1/14th scale car begs the question, do we need another proprietary scale to, as a poster on ‘Radio Control Zone’ jokes, “further dilute the classes”. With so many classes already available and events struggling for numbers some classes will inevitably lose out. Perhaps this is just natural selection in action?
