Fastrax Tru-Start & Mini-Start Starter Boxes

Fastrax have released 2 more starter boxes to accompany their high end All-Start box we showed you previously. The first version, the Tru-Start, is for 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, and should also work with other cars with inline engines, and if it looks familiar then thats because it appears to be from the same factory as the SMD box we showed you back in January. The other box, called the Mini-Start, is for models such as the Xray NT18 touring car and truck, Jammin/Hong Nor CRT.5 and other small scale cars with inline motors and due to its small size has space for one 7.2v stick pack battery providing plenty of starting power for these smaller engines.

Ferrari vs. Xray NT1 – Conclusion

[youtube]F68pM9RdV68[/youtube]

A while ago we were informed by Xray that there would be a race between a full size Ferrari and an Xray NT1 and the results would be shown on Austrian TV. Now thanks to YouTube here is the video. I said over 100m it would be no contest, the NT1 had it, and i think every other opinion was the same, and that was in fact the outcome. The same race run to 150m saw the Ferrari just get it, mainly due to a bad start for the NT1.
