UK based decal company Decal Designs have announced that they have started to make custom transmitter skins. Unlike other companies, they offer a pure custom transmitter skin, meaning the customer can email a photo of their car and they will make a custom skin to replicate the colour scheme. They have also just appointed their first team driver, Ellis “Big E” Stafford, who is a multi-national and European championship winner and current BRCA 2wd National Champion in 1/10 off road. He will run the company’s decals and transmitter skins (above) for the 2009 season.

Hudy have announced the introduction of this transmitter bag. Well padded to withstand the rigors of travel and with a spacious interior, the transmitter bag safely protects even the large computer radios on the market today. With some racers carrying two transmitters to a race the bag is spacious enough to comfortable store two transmitters. To prevent the transmitters from moving during transport, an elastic safety strap inside the bag on the rear wall can be used to securely hold the transmitters. Two exterior straps at the rear of the bag allow you to mount the transmitter bag to most widely-used car carrying bags.
