NEW KOMATSU PC1250-8 EXCAVATOR Who wasn’t mesmerized by construction vehicles as a child? Well, now your grown-up self can play in the dirt with this updated version 1/50-scale KOMATSU Hydraulic Excavator from Kyosho. This bad boy comes assembled and includes a 6-channel radio to control throttle and steering, up/down boom, up/down arm, dig/dump bucket, and a rotating swing cab. It’s just over 14 inches long, almost 10 inches high, and weighs about a pound, so it won’t dig you to China; but with a built-in clutch that can lift ounce+ loads, it should do well in your hobby-size construction site. This highly detailed unit sports die-cast, zinc-alloy caterpillar tracks and looks the part as a display piece or outside tossing dirt. www.kyosho.com AIR FORCE 2 WING By now, everyone in this hobby should understand that wings aren’t just cosmetic; they are also very functional and can greatly alter vehicle performance. Pro-Line knows this and has just released its Air Force 2 Light-weight 6.5-inch, 1/10-scale version. This isn’t some passive design to finish out the off-road look; it’s CAD designed to meet extreme performance and durability specifications. Included center-fin stabilizers improve high-speed stability, while huge corner radiuses help prevent cracks and allow air to flow smoothly. You get two wings and center fins in the pack but they aren’t pre-trimmed, so break out your scissor-cutting skills and get to mounting. www.prolineracing.com 12 WWW.VRCMAG.COM We only had the boring Tonka trucks as a kid.
