Motorstorm RC on ps vita and ps3

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:05:19 +0000

Just announced from Evolution Studios is a new game for the PS3 and PS Vita called MotorStorm RC! MotorStorm was a huge hit on the PS3, and it’s cool to see them using all that technology to cram it into a RC version. The game promises four locations on 16 tracks.

Developed by series creator Evolution Studios, MotorStorm RC is a spin-off for the franchise, with the standard assortment of real-world vehicles replaced by remote-control counterparts. The game will deliver 16 different tracks set in four familiar environments, with many of the vehicle types from previous games making a return.
MotorStorm RC will be a "Pay once, Get both" game, so players need to buy only one version to gain access to the game on both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. However, Sony has not yet announced pricing for the game.
The different versions will be interoperable, but the PS3 version will also offer stereoscopic 3D, SimulView same-screen multiplayer support, and a four-player split-screen mode. All progress made in one version of the game--lap times, unlockable content, and trophies--will be synchronized to the other, ensuring that players don't need to repeat tasks in both versions. Features like the Pitwall, which lets players track challenges and friends' activity, will also be accessible in both versions.

Having perfect side-to-side balance is extremely important for the handling and performance of any R/C car. The HUDY Chassis Balancing Tool is the perfect simple tool for quick & easy chassis balancing. Many modern R/C race cars feature predrilled holes on the bottom of the chassis, at the front and rear along the chassis center line. If your car does not, it is easy to drill 2 holes in the chassis.
The balancing tool may even be used for off-road cars; to compensate for the increased suspension downtravel you can raise the height of the Balancing Tools by putting them atop HUDY Chassis Droop Gauge Support Blocks # 123456. Then use additional weights to perfectly balance your car.
