Hudy Exclusive Transmitter bag

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.

Xray XB808 Active Differential

New for the Xray XB808 buggy is the unique Active Differential which is a high-performance, adjustable front gear differential that vastly improves the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction and stability to the buggy, making it faster and easier to drive. While this is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge, it is also of great benefit to any level of driver that wants to a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in any racing conditions.
