2009 NRHSA Show

The National Retail Hobby Stores Association (NRHSA) had their annual table top expo at the Las Vegas Hilton. This gave suppliers and hobby stores a great chance to mingle and see whats new. The best part of it is meeting new people and finally putting a face to the voice. SK Motion represented and displayed for Axial, Robitronic, Hot Bodies, STRC, Tekno RC, Hard Body'z, and DNA RC. Everyone at this event got a sneak peak on some future releases. Take a look at some of the pictures below.

Over 15 cars were on display at the SK Motion booth. More than any other vendor.


This is the first time the public got to see the new Axial RTC (Ready-To-Crawl). People liked the 55T motor, threaded shocks, Proline tires, and metal gear servo. This car is expected to ship sometime in June.


Hard Body'z dropped off their new roof rack for the scale crawler at the SK Motion booth.


New Robitronic 1:10 scale electric truck and buggy. These cars will run in the lower $100 price range. Both cars are hobby level grade, durable, share common parts, and are very good quality. Different colored bodies will also be available. The delivery date is mid-June.


Did you know that Hot Bodies made off-road racing tires? Well, they do! They will be releasing a new pink compound shortly. The pinky's are super soft and extra sticky. Seen and felt first only at the SK Motion booth.


Hard Body'z let us display their new Traxxas Slash project. The picture above shows a new front skid plate and front bumper.


The new rear bumper for the Slash by Hard Body'z USA.


This half cage by HBZ makes the Slash look even more like a real short course truck. The more you look at it, the more it tells you "race me."


You've seen this car in magazines, but you probably haven't seen it in person. This truggy was born to win another championship. It reeks toughness and screams winner. We were very lucky to have this car. As usual, seen first only at SK Motion.

Here's a side shot of the new Hot Bodies D8T.

We were privileged to get a lot of support and backing from these top manufactures. This show wasn't your typical seen it all. There were so many new products at the SK Motion booth, store owners and managers were overwhelmed (in a good way). We hope to see you there next year.

SK Motion showcased it first and will be delivering first, so start submitting your pre-orders.
