Micro Heli and Plane Lipos!

We’ve added two new lipos to our catalog made especially for the Heli-Max Novus. The 3.7 volt 400mAh 15C retails for $8.99 while the 3.7 volt 400mAh 20C retails for $11.99. Use these to get a little extra punch for your Novus.

Also, if you’re a big fan of the new ParkZone Su-26m Sukhoi BNF, our 3.7 volt 130mah 15C battery is a perfect fit for the plane and the charger, and will provide you with longer flight times than the stock battery.

Are you ready for the future?

Hey there CSRC dealers!

Next week, we’ll be announcing our Team Compass USA members to the public on our Team Compass USA Official Blog. Subscribe to email updates to be the first to hear the news.

In the meantime, let’s talk about flybarless. We think flybarless is the future, and it seems that the community agrees. And why wouldn’t they? Flybarless systems equal shorter build times, more overall power, longer flight times, and greater stability. Most guys who go flybarless say they will never go back. In order to demonstrate our belief in flybarless technology, our entire Compass USA Team will be flying flybarless using the Rondo system from Pro-RC. You’ll be able to meet our team and see them fly at the 2009 IRCHA Jamboree with their Team Manager “Finless” Bob White.

Rondo is currently being carried by many major online retailers such as A Main Hobbies, Esprit Model, and RRE Models, as well as brick-and-mortar stores such as Hobby Hut and R/C Country. We are the exclusive distributor of Rondo in the US.

Please contact your sales rep for more information about the Rondo flybarless system or call us toll free at 866-405-8811..

Rapicon Fuel Is Shipping Now

We just got our first shipment of Rapicon Fuel and are now shipping it out to dealers. We've made it very convenient for dealers to pick up this line of fuel by combining the shipping and HAZMAT fees into the cost of the product so that you know up-front what you're paying. Also, we have only a 7 case minimum and are willing to mix and match case contents so that you only have to buy what you need. Please contact your sales rep for pricing and more info.

To get you a little more familiar with Rapicon, here’s the low-down:

“Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Rapicon fuel is now available stateside. Rapicon fuel helps prolong the life of engines by adding an anticorrosive agent and stabilizer. Moreover, full-synthetic lubrication makes for minimal carbon residue. Made with a bio-additive and an optimal amount of lubrication, Rapicon fuel creates clean, environmentally-friendly exhaust. With fuels for airplanes, helis, boats, and cars with between 15%-60% nitro and 11%-23% lubrication, Rapicon has your needs covered.

Common Sense RC is the exlclusive US distributor of Rapicon fuel. Rapicon is also the fuel sponsor for Team Compass USA.”


If you want to know more about the product, check out these forum posts about Rapicon by members of the RC community.
