Monster Truck Fun from Electrix RC

The Ruckus Monster Truck is the largest vehicle in the Electrix RC line up. It is a dependable truck that is designed to take your backyard experience to the next level without breaking the bank. Outfitted with monster truck tires, custom chrome wheels, and nylon composite materials, it is the most dependable hobby grade RC monster truck out there.

We designed the Ruckus to be reminiscent of a real world scale monster truck without looking too cartoonish. Made to be operated out of the box, the vehicle comes with everything you need to get started. All you need to do is charge the battery and then let it rip. Each Ruckus monster truck comes with a Ruckus tuned Dynamite 20 Turn Motor, a Dynamite ESC and most importantly, a Dynamite 1800 Speedpack mAh NiMH 6 cell flat battery, and a wall charger.

Temora Jets Review

Temora Jets 2010 was held over the weekend of the 17th, 18th and 19th of September. 60 pilots from around the country registered for the event with a total of 92 jet aircraft present. Vin Pike travelled over from Adelaide with his Skymaster Viperjet 2M.

A JetCat P80 SE powers the Viperjet and radio control was handled by the JR DSX12, with JR 8411 Digital servos throughout. The new Hacker Top Fuel LiFe cells supplied power. Two 2S packs of 3100 mAh were directed into the JR RD1221 2.4 ghz receiver for dual redundancy giving a faultless system all weekend.

The SA State Thermal Contest was held over the past weekend with a good attendance, including Darrel and Garry making the pilgrimage from Mildura. Again, Darrel blow took home the win (his second in a row or maybe third) in some windy conditions. Some noteworthy results from Jim McDougall with his Aspire, and a new improved Joe Rufenacht who has recently had some obviously vision clearing eye surgery. It was also great to see some relative newcomers, Gavin Bowden and Robert Gunn, enjoying themselves. Thanks to SSL on what was another very successful event.
