The National Model and Hobby Show

BSR
BSR is one of those companies that has been around for a long time. Their tires have broken speed records all over the place! The newest stuff from BSR that will really interest sedan racers are their sedan slick tires, which will be available in four different compounds, from medium to super sticky. Looks like the tire war will be heating up again!

Competition Electronics
At the show with their newest charger was Competition Electronics with their Turbo 35 battery charger. The older Turbo 30 has been a mainstay of many serious racers for years, so this should be a significant upgrade!

CVEC from Innoventive Technologies
Innoventive Technologies had a big walk-through style booth just for their new pipes! This was interesting because many other manufacturers used a much smaller standard type booth for many more products. CVEC pipes are now available in styles for 1/10 and 1/8 scale cars, and now feature twin pipes exiting the main body instead of the one huge pipe the early models had.

FSR
FSR took residence in a booth to show their Bullet electric and Bullet Nitro sedans.

General Silicones
One of the booths that had tons of R/C related parts was the one for General Silicones. They make all sorts of things out of...silicone! Pipe fittings, fuel tubing, o-rings, shock bladders and more, and they all come in different colors!
