Picking up where we left off, we next make a stop at the Model Rectifier booth. MRC carries a full line of all things RC including boats, cars, airplanes and helicopters as well as accessories for all of them. They also have their very well done flight simulator, Reflex. On display was their full line of Hirobo helicopters with models ranging from basic trainer models all the way up to their twin rotor Chinook and Tow Cobra. New for this year to MRC is the Ultrafly line of electric powered RC airplanes. Though made by the same company, these are not the same models you may have seen in your hobby shop a year or more ago. These models are constructed from fully laser cut balsa and plywood. The quality of these models is as good as it gets. Ultrafly also has their own line of brushless motors and ESC's to make powering one of their kits an easy decision. Last but not least we see the Team Academy line of RC cars and trucks. These models are continuing to evolve and incorporate many features found only on much more expensive "pro" level models.

Heading down the main isle we find Himoto Racing. RC car and truck enthusiasts had a great time visiting here as there were cars and trucks of all kinds on hand.

Twisted Industries is next down the way. They produce the very cool Kaizen 18 and a host of accessories and hop-ups to go along with it.

Almost next door we find Smartech. With models ranging in size from very small all the way up to 1/5 scale, they have cars and trucks of every type and description.

DN Power was around the corner with their line of Li-Po, Li-Ion and NiMH batteries and chargers. They also produce an impressive line of brushless ESC's from 10-120A. And once you have your electric power plant configured and charged, they can help you out with whatever wiring needs you may have with wire, connectors, jacks, etc.

Team Associated is our next stop. Though I did not manage to get a picture of it, they had their new Mini MGT 3.0 on display. This 1/10 scale little brother to the MGT 4.6 SE shares a lot of features with the larger model including transverse mounted engine, 8 oil filled shocks, rugged extruded aluminum chassis and 2 speed transmission.
