On this week's show...

0:50-6:03
Losi has done it once again brought race-winning performance to the RTR masses with the new Losi 22T RTR. This truck has everything you'll want to have fun from the backyard to the racetrack. The 22T RTR features a 2.5mm thick aluminum chassis plate, 12mm Big Bore shocks, 3.5mm adjustable turnbuckles, ROAR-legal 13.5T sensored brushless motor system and a genuine Spektrum DX3E transmitter with an SR300 receiver. This is sure to be one hot truck. We caught up with Losi's Andy Ziegler to learn more about the 22T RTR


6:04-10:05
One of the most popular planes of all-time has been scaled down in size by E-flite in the new Twist 3D 480 ARF. Using the larger Twist as a blueprint the E-flite version is sure to be something quite special in the air. The Twist 3D 480 ARF features balsa and ply construction that you can see on the underside of the wing thanks to the translucent Hangar 9 Ultracoat, aluminum landing struts and new 5-spoke wheels, dual magnetic hatches that allow you to access the battery pack, receiver or wing bolts and much more. Ryan Smith visited with us recently to talk about this very cool plane.

10:06-10:40
Right before Christmas Blade announced a totally new quad-copter in the Blade mQX. We recently had Blade's Brian Reed on the R/Cast podcast to talk all about this new bird (you can listen to that episode here- http://on.fb.me/wLfOjy) and we have one in-studio for you to take a closer look at. At the end of this week's show Gary even flies it. Is it easy enough to fly that even a car guy can do it? Make sure you check it out to see!

10:41-13:14
This week also marks the 2012 CES, or Consumer Electronics Show, happening in Las Vegas. Parrot SA was on-hand to debut and unveil their new 2.0 version of the popular A.R. Drone. Parrot has made a number of changes to this new version including a new 720P HI-Definition camera for sharper videos, a new sensor that will allow you to fly the Drone at a higher altitude. We'll be getting more information in the coming weeks but if you're a fan of the original the 2.0 version looks to carry on that legacy.

13:14-15:12

That's better for racing rtr or kit

[HorizonRCdotCom]

They can both be raced. The Kit has a few differences like a ball versus a gear diff but you can install the ball diff without issue.
