RCX
What did you guys think of this years RCX?
Honestly it seemed like a lot of the same to me. I went last year, I went this year, and I didn't see a whole lot of new stuff.
LOSI was showing off some kind of new short course buggy that they claim to have just announced a few days ago.
Commercial QUADs are now starting to come to the market. I saw one or two hobby-level quads but they were expensive, in the $400. range. I saw pleanty of toy-level quads in the $200. or so range (still very expensive for something that's basically a X-UFO remake).
Traxxas Monster Mutt! Someone finally did it, this rather comical body is styled to resemble a dog, complete with flappable ears and a tongue.
I took a video of the treaded vehicle I saw last year, as you can see it has a full suspension. I wish we'd see more stuff like this released commercially.
One of the more interesting things was a fire truck with working lights, siren, and even a monitor inside with a passenger watching it.
I caught a flight demo with the newest blade micro helis, and all the Traxxas demos at the big track, the usual E-Revos and such jumping 25+ feet in the air.
BTW you can see everything I talk about in my video post: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10413781/tm.htm
