PIT TOWEL
One never knows what to expect next from Cow R/C. Sometimes it’s wildly creative stuff to clean and prep your car/truck/favorite RC vehicle and sometimes its storage gear and that sort of thing. Today, we have something that’s somewhat in between. Let’s face it; pit towels have been done before but not to the level and price point of the folks at Cow R/C. Their (and potentially your) pit towel is emblazoned with their distinctive logo and comes at a great (almost free) price – Part no. CW-PT-1 – $3.99. Of course the price goes down if you buy more.

H4 GRAVIT NANO QUAD
As quad copters continue to grow in popularity a certain amount of crossover from the RC car/aircraft/marine manufacturers can be expected. The H4 Gravit Nano is the latest entry into this field by LRP. The tiny size of the Gravit allows it to be flown in a much smaller area such as the living room or family/great room of your home, removing the ‘nice day’ factor from your flying plans. The six axis gyro improves stability and makes flying this quad a lot easier for new pilots. Part no. 220703 – $49.99
