When it comes to RC toys, 2009 has definitely been a banner year with plenty of innovation and a huge variety of great new vehicles hitting the market just in time for the holidays. Let’s take a look at three of the very best from this year:
HPI Savage X – This flame covered RC monster truck came out of the starting gates ready to crush all competition. The low center of gravity and improved design of the last HPI Savage has created a beast of a machine perfect for getting optimal lap times. With its 4.6cc engine, you can expect speeds of up to 44 miles per hour and a whole lot of durability behind that speed. You aren’t going to need to make a lot of repairs because this machine can make amazing jumps or even slam into just about anything without taking damage. Once you factor in all of the after market gadgets you can pop onto the Savage X it’s easy to see why this truck topped its category in 2009.
Traxxas Nitro 4 Tec – When you look at a sports car, RC or otherwise, you think of speed and a whole lot of it. Well, the Nitro 4 Tec from Traxxas proves why this company has become a legend in this industry. The sleek and sporty car blasts at up to 75 miles per hour! With electric starting and single handed operation, you can expect this model to tear up the track no matter where you take it, but you better be ready for its high maintenance needs. Not only will you need 8 AA batteries for its radio, you need a 7.2v for car itself plus 20% nitro fuel. Still, for 75mph it’s worth it.
Mini G200 Micro Helicopter
Mini G200 Micro Helicopter – In 2009 we saw a lot of great innovations and the RC micro helicopter market really heated up. The G200 is stable, light weight and incredibly easy to handle. This model’s perfect for those still learning their heli control chops because it’s difficult to damage. It can fly low to the ground and still keep from getting banged up. It’s got a lightning quick reaction time and can do well on any aero course. Plus, it comes put together so there’s no building to do.
