Memorial Day 2009
While you’re out enjoying the day off with a family cookout, or maybe the Indy 500, or even the Memorial Day parade – please be sure to take a few minutes to remember all of the men and women who have paid the highest price to offer the freedoms we so much enjoy and so often take for granted every single day.
RCNitroTalk would like to say to all of those that have fallen in battle and those currently serving in the Military – Thank you and god bless you!

Tamiya 1973 Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco is a famous American 4X4 off-road vehicle. This 1970’s model was among the first series called “Early Bronco” which were produced during 1965-1977. Three types of bodies were released; the fully-open “Roadster,” the single cabin pick-up “Utility,” and the “Wagon” which had a resin roof.
The body featured triangular protrusions on both sides on the curved front hood which worked well as a guide for drivers to accurately measure the body size while driving. The front suspension features coil springs combined with the rigid axle, which was a first for mass-produced 4X4 vehicles and works well both on-road and off-road. The Bronco is still greatly popular around the world, particularly in America, where many are used as cross-country and rock crawling vehicles.

HPI Cup Racing 1M kit
Cup Racer and Datsun 510 fans can rejoice, HPI has just released an incredible scale and realistic looking Datsun 510 Cup Racing kit – introducing “True Ten Scale: True Looks, True Engineering”. The Datsun 510 body comes with chrome bumpers, side mirrors, windshield wipers, headlight buckets, exhaust pipe, and a full set of pre-cut vinyl decals. Add your own paint and you’re ready to terrorize the field with this iconic vintage racer.
The concept behind the Cup Racer and True Ten scale is simple: to make the best-looking, most realistic car models available. To do this, the HPI body production department teamed up with HPI’s top car designers to put together the the True Ten look, which authentically reproduces actual cars in a way that makes them look exactly like the real thing. These aren’t slammed and lowered versions lookalikes designed for ultimate performance, though: the True Ten ideal is to replicate the real cars as they are in real life – in width, height, length and detail, with details so precise that real car fans wouldn’t be able to tell the difference at first glance.

Axial is at it again, another RC Rock Crawler. This time a Ready-To-Crawl version of the ever popular Axial AX10 scorpion kit! The new Axial AX-10 Scorpion rc rock crawler is fully ready to rock crawl right out of the box! With the new Axial AX-10 RTC rc rock crawler, Axial has done a lot of things right to improve the basic AX-10 kit.
For starters Axial has added a slipper clutch to reduce gear wobble for a much more efficient drivetrain and also increases the durability of the drivetrain. Axial has also given the Axial AX10 ready to crawl solid rear axle lockouts which improve ground clearance while rock crawling.
