Hudy Exclusive Edition cargo bag

Hudy introduce their new Exclusive Edition cargo bag. Sporting dimensions of 78x51x27cm the roller bag is large enough to carry cars, electric equipment and tools while being compact enough to fit into low-height car trunks or to use them when travelling by plane or bus. An aluminium frame makes for a low weight while adding the needed rigidity as do the reinforced walls with printed Hudy graphics and the two heavy-duty plastic bars on the bottom. Soft rubber handles and ball-raced wheels make handling easy and the spacious interior has enough room for the 5 large boxes that come included with the bag. Alternatively the hauler bag also takes 8 small boxes or combinations of both.

Avid D413 hard-anodised aluminium chassis set

Available now from Avid is the hard-anodised aluminium chassis set for the HB D413. Born from a winning pedigree, Avid’s IFMAR World Champion winning B44.2 aluminium chassis, the HB part is further refined by lowering the ballast weight even more into the chassis, oversized chamfers on the bottom corners for increased stability during those inevitable chassis dragging moments, and an optional floating servo mount allows the chassis to twist equally left to right. Included with the set comes the 7075-T6 chassis, one delrin and one aluminium ballast weight, a carbon fibre battery stop, an Upgrade RC chassis protector, and an Avid decal. Additional 3g delrin, 7g aluminium, or 21g brass inserts are sold separately for more tuning options.
