Exclusive, Limited Edition Model
Designed Specifically For The Pro Racer!

Over 50 New Features and Setups!

The 2008 Revo Platinum Edition is designed specifically for the pro racer. We took everything we learned from 6 national championships and packed it all into the most advanced, high-performance racing monster truck ever created. The same forward-thinking technology, high-tech materials, and unsurpassed engineering that continue to set Revo apart from the pack are further magnified on the Revo Platinum Edition. All the exclusive factory team parts and trick setups are integrated into a lean and mean racing chassis that’s engineered just for the track. Key enhancements include a larger 150cc fuel tank; strengthened axle housings with 17mm aluminum wheel hub adapters; center differential and rear brakes; innovative new Response Pro tires; larger, high-flow air filter; compact receiver box and servo mount; and powerful, dual digital high-torque steering servos. There are over 50 new features and setups in all.

Exclusive from R/C Car Magazine

It pays off to live in Southern California; not only is the weather nearly perfect, but we also find ourselves stumbling upon top-secret factory team testing on a routine basis at the local tracks. We dropped by one of our local hangouts and ran into the Kyosho team testing their newest creation—a 1/10 scale off-road electric stadium truck unofficially named the “Kyosho RT-5.”

Kyosho reps stressed that the truck in our photos is still highly pre-production and in full testing mode.

Calandra Racing Concepts changed the face 12th Scale racing with the release of the beautiful Gen-X racer. Tenth scale racers can now also have the same professional quality race car as TeamCRC releases its new 10th scale oval machine, the Battle Axe.

The Battle Axe is the result of continuous refinement and product development at Calandra Racing Concepts. The Battle Axe gets its roots from CRC’s 12th scale on-road racer, the Gen X, but this latest kit has been designed from the ground up to produce a well-balanced, highly adjustable, and user friendly tenth scale oval racer. Move over T-Bar cars, the Battle Axe is coming through.

The Battle Axe also features:

•  CRC’s new Pro-Strut molded front end, best in the business
•   New X-pod rear end, super low CG with “open pod” design that accepts brushed and bulky brushless motors with ease
•   5 cell slots for adjustable F/R weight bias
•   Adjustable battery stops for altering left weight bias
•   Adjustable track width and wheel base
•   Unique adjustable/universal servo mounting plate
•   Plenty of mounting space on the left rear for “big ‘ole” b/l speed controls
•   Flush mount transponder mounting system
•   Pivot Ball / Link style rear suspension - No t-bars to tweak or break!

Race report by Michael Ravn
Now it was time for the unofficial Danish championship (round 3), where 57 drivers would start the race in Aarhus on February 3rd. Practice was on Saturday, during which time I felt that I had a really good car, so I thought I had a chance for taking it all the way on Sunday, but all that was going to change.

Qualifying and finals were held on Sunday with the round-by-round system. After the first qualifying round I felt good and was still going for win, but my body wing was too high… so the first result I had was a DQ. During the 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds my car was driving very well, but I was in 4th place overall for the finals (after the 3rd round) and the other guys were finding the pace. There were 4 guys with 29 laps.
