Considering trying your hand at RC off-road? Then it could well be time to 'step up' to the mark with the exciting new range of models called Stinger.

Step Up are developing a range which are initially electric models, specifically aimed at the entry level and cost conscious enthusiast. First up are the Stinger EB-1 1/10th Buggy and Stinger EST-2 1/10th Truggy. Both models share a common design platform so spare parts are kept to a minimum. Areas such as wishbones, hub carriers and steering blocks have been designed in a manor that allows left and right to interchange, so it is irrelevant which side might need replacing you will never get left with the wrong side from a spare pair of arms.





A modular chassis design as used on top level 1/10th racing buggies is used so that the rear and front suspension can be simply removed from the chassis in a matter of seconds. In addition this design provides a stiff 'box' section for the whole car's suspension to work from.

The gearbox utilises a 3-gear design comprising of a bevel gear differential, idler gear and top shaft. To complete the section an adjustable external slipper clutch helps protect the transmission from shock damage.



Composite , oil filled shocks are standard as is quality r/ c radio system and electronic speed controller. Both models are finished off with a funky pre-printed bodyshell of your choice.

Want to race your Stinger? Well Step Up intends to release a wide range of options that will ultimately allow you to bring your ride up to a whole new level of performance as you progress with your own abilities.

These new models are arriving in the UK this month so step up and call your local hobby shop today and ask for the new name in r/c cars.

The 1/10-scale Speed-NT nitro ready-to-run truck is capable of taking fast speed to the extreme. Packed with performance-driven features like a Losi 3.4 high-performance nitro engine, a 2-speed transmission, and a Losi radio system with Spektrum® 2.4GHz DSM® technology the Speed-NT has the power to reach shattering speeds of 60mph or greater.

The Speed-NT includes a Losi 3.4cc ultra high-performance nitro engine, designed to deliver big power in a small package. Custom ported for maximum performance, the advanced design and manufacturing techniques are used to produce the largest displacement in a small block nitro engine. The high performance header and pipe allow the 3.4 engine to sing as the Speed-NT accelerates to speed. The Speed-NT also comes with a hand-held Spin-Start system, making it easier than ever to get the engine started.

The Speed-NT offers the distinct advantage of a Losi MTX Pro radio system with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology. DSM technology offers numerous benefits over traditional radio systems, including no interference or glitching. This means never having to worry about finding an open frequency, changing crystals or losing control of your vehicle.

The extra thick aircraft aluminum alloy chassis of the Speed-NT features countersunk holes, keeping the screws flush with the bottom of the chassis for uninterrupted air flow. Combined with the lowered, aggressive suspension layout the Speed-NT is set up to be a mean street machine right from the box, and with a change of the tires the Speed-NT can attack the dirt.

The Speed-NT sends the power to the ground through a performance-built 2-speed slipper-equipped transmission. Utilizing durable, high-strength gearing and optimized gear ratios, the transmission combines wheelie popping low gear acceleration with blistering top speeds when in high gear.

The Speed-NT's aluminum oil-filled shocks are anodized blue and feature threaded adjustment collars, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension for high-speed maneuvering and straight line speed. The Speed-NT also features a complete set of precision ball bearings, which provide the smoothness and reduced friction needed for high-speed fun.

The Speed-NT comes with an aerodynamically engineered, ultra-aggressive sport truck body, complete with a custom trim scheme. Designed to reduce drag, the body provides the down force needed to keep the wheels on the ground at top speed. Low-profile on-road tires mounted on dish chrome wheels complete the performance and look of the vehicle.

Features:

* Extra thick aircraft aluminum alloy chassis
* Losi 3.4 ultra high-performance nitro engine with a race tuned exhaust system
* Installed Losi MTX Pro Radio System with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM Technology
