Spying with your RC Car?
Apps are here to to stay, so we might as well get our kids on board early. That’s the thinking behind Wild Planet’s Spy Video TRAKR, a video-enabled RC car that can be loaded up with freely downloadable programs.
Making its debut at this weekend’s Toy Fair, the TRAKR sports a camera that beams video back to a small colour LCD screen on the controller. That video, or still shots from it, can be saved to an SD card for later perusal.

Remote control cars get revved up
THESE cars might be small, but they’re mighty quick.
Remote control cars running on nitro methane fuel and capable of reaching top speeds of 70kmh in 3.5 seconds will be in action at a new track at Bakers Creek near the AFL grounds this weekend.
The Remote Control Mackay and District Off-road Group will hold a test and tune and open day on Saturday, and its first race meeting on Sunday, both from 9am.
President Ben Anderson said the 1/8 scale buggies and truggies (three-wheelers) were fast and fun.

The E10 was designed so anyone can take the wheel and give it a try!

The RTR version arrives ready to run right out of the box with a fully painted body and a preassembled chassis, it’s a simple matter of ?charge and go’ for hours of fun. The Drift version comes in two different highly detailed and pre-painted body styles, the sleek Mazda RX-7, and the classic Toyota Trueno AE86 drift machine. All of the details are there, from grills and windshield wipers to realistic 3D brake rotors and calipers inside the chrome ?Gram Lights? wheels. The E10 looks so nice that owners might be tempted to just leave it on display, but the real fun comes when you grab the transmitter and start driving it! The E10 uses true full-time 4WD and independent suspension, making it easy to drive on paved parking lot surfaces. An enclosed drivetrain keeps dirt and dust out of the gears for low maintenance and reliability. A large foam bumper protects the car from crash damage, and the chassis and suspension have been strategically engineered for entry level performance and durability. The Assembled E10 is for slightly more experienced drivers who like to add their own radio equipment and battery. All versions come with a Saturn 27T electric motor for reliable power and performance with low maintenance. And, the E10 uses standard body mounting points so owners can fit a wide variety of HPI Racing bodies to customize the look of their car. Most popular wheel and tires bolt right on for extra tuning and styling options. It’s super-easy to choose from an extensive range of touring car, muscle car and drift car accessories to customize the E10! For extra excitement, the E10 is designed so that it can be easily converted from street/touring driving to drift without adding any new parts. The motor and radio equipment can be moved to optimize the weight balance for smooth drifting or high grip cornering. Complete instructions are included in the box for owners looking for a change of pace in driving styles. Features? looks? performance? price? the E10 is one of the easiest ways ever to experience the fun and excitement of driving an RC car!
