RC TOYS - Bombs for radio controlled airplanes and DIY UAV Drones

RTR Bomb System
Quanum’s R/C bomb system is plug-n-play and really easy to install on your RC model airplane. Simply connect the included servo wire to a spare channel on your radio and stick the bomb’s release pod to your RC airplane. It’s that simple!
The R/C bomb system splits in half to carry any payload you require and comes with an impact protector for added safety. The system includes a bomb release pod which securely holds the bomb in place and ensures a positive release every time!
Tamiya BMW Z4 TT01 Hatsune Miku - ITASHA RC CAR

OK, I like the HPI RC Itashas but this Hatsune Miku Super GT from Tamiya is like a dream come true! This is not technically an itasha since it the reproduction of a real GT Car sponsored by Vocaloid / Crypton and probably this makes the car even more interesting and with a bigger potential customers base...

RC Helicopter that fires BB Soft Air balls

(via Modellimo Hobbymedia) Last february, during the Nuremberg Toy Fair, I tried a prototype of a super fan RC Hely that fires BB Balls (the same used by air soft gun replicas). Now the taiwanese company Wind Toys & Hobby as finally released it. The Falcon is Co-Axial so it's really easy to controll and can flight 8 minutes before you got to recharge the batteries. It's really fun to play with it indoor and in the garden but, since it uses BB balls, it's really important to wear the protection glasses...

GIAPPONE: SHIZUOKA HOBBY SHOW

Si è aperta ieri la 46ma edizione dello Shizuoka Hobby Show: la principale fiera di modellismo in Giappone e in Asia. Il modellismo tradizionale statico ed radiocomandato la fanno da padroni, ma ci sono anche alcuni interessanti stand pieni di statuette in vinile delle protagoniste femminili (più o meno svestite) dei principali manga, anime e videogiochi prodotti in Giappone. Inoltre nello stand Bandai sono stati presentati i Gunpla che verranno prodotti nei prossimi mesi (oltre ai toys da collezione della serie Chougokin).
