New Steel City R/C Speedway is an onroad course for nitro and electric RC car racing located at the world famous California Speedway (home of Nascar and Indy Car events). In mid September it hosted its first 5th Scale World Challenge. The track is 250 x 125 and up to 16ft wide lanes making it the perfect size to stretch out the power of the 1/5th scale RC cars.
After few teasing images Losi have revealed the new 5IVE-T 2.0 BND: a 1/5 scale 4WD Gas Short Course Truck. The Bind-N-Drive technology allows you to pick your preferred transmitter. The model comes in Grey/Orange/White and Grey/Blue/White colors and maintains the unrivalled performance of its predecessor.
Martin Limpens, a 40 years old maker from the Netherlands, has built an amazing 1/5 scale replica of a Jaguar 980: a self-propelled forage harvester that is built by German farm machinery company Claas.
This radio control model is scratch build and required over 3000 hours of work. It weighs in at 70 Kg and can move thanks to a 4.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine.
Here are some info about the realscale agricultural machine that inspired Martin to make this incredible radio-controlled model in scale.
