New RTR brand ARRMA have a big stand at this years toyfair - at least in terms of new vehicles as they have a whopping 6 new vehicles on show. The one that caught our eye is their new 'Raider' buggy - no, thankfully not a revisit to the Kyosho monstrosity of the same name. The Raider is a 1/10th scale 2WD desert racer style buggy, which looks distinctly retro.
I WANT ONE - it even looks good without a shell!
The Raider uses a twin vertical plate alloy chassis and has a neat 'frame buggy' look to it. The rest of the ARRMA stuff at nuremberg is all based on the same chassis but with different lengths here and there to adapt it to various uses, with desert trucks, Short Course trucks, racing-style buggies and even monster trucks coming out of the same basic 2WD chassis design.
The vehicles will all apparently come with the 'ATX300' controller which has a unique swivel-wheel that'll adapt between left and right handed in a second - but it looks like a futuristic weapon of some sort so we like it.
Check out the ARRMA website for loads more images - mostly CAD stuff it seems for now but we're told there's more coming.

I just need to blag that Raider and I'll be happy.
