The Rush 2 is a formidable weapon created for racing, designed by drivers for drivers. Thanks to new manufacturing technologies and the vast experience gained from its predecessor the Rush, Rush 2 has a novel suspension system making it the most unique buggy of its kind. The very supine position dampers achieves high stability on bumpy track, a unique precision on fast parts of tracks, fantastic grip on corners and perfect handling on the big jumps. The Rush 2 is easy to set-up because it can adapt to all types of tracks, all types of surfaces. Adopting the Rush 2 is enjoying every moment of driving throughout a race by limiting the time taken to the settings.
Trinity/Starcell iPower. Powers your RC gear–and your iPod! An iPod is pretty much standard equipment for a race day, and with Trinity’s new Starcell iPower, you can jack your iPod right into the supply for non-stop listening without keepin an eye on the power meter. That’s just icing, of course; the real action is the iPower’s 30-amp regulated output, plenty of juice for any RC application. The unit has a 12-volt output for chargers, and an adjustable output for breaking in motors, operating lathes, etc. at lower voltage and amp rates. An internal fan keeps the compact iPower cool, and a set of alligator clip leads are included. Source : RC Car Action
