THERE’S MORE TO THE XIRO XPLORER THAN YOU MAY KNOW Take a closer look at the Xiro Xplorer, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you’ll find. This is a qualitybuilt drone, with the functions you’re looking for and the durability you demand. Add it all up, and the Xplorer represents an incredible value in drone technology.
If you’re in the market for a drone, consider these Xplorer advantages:
Xplorer RTF allows modelers to equip the drone with their choice of camera and gimbal
You’ve gotta love being totally modular.
®
The Xplorer’s innovative modular design makes it extremely easy to assemble. The gimbal and battery snaps on and off — no tools required! That makes transportation quick and effortless.

w w w. g p d e a l e r. c o m
RECENT H OT R E LE ASE
Oh, what a difference a 2nd GPS sensor makes.
XIRE0100
Dual GPS sensors mean the Xplorer is much less susceptible to a fly-away, which can send a drone spiraling to the ground.
See more, and see better. The Xplorer’s advanced camera gives you greater field-of-vision adjustability (including cool panoramic views), and more professional-looking pics in different environments.
More comfort levels is a good thing. Xplorer G includes a 3-axis, video-stabilized gimbal with vibration absorbers that works well with GoPro Hero 3 or 4 cameras (sold separately)
The Xplorer offers not two, but three skill settings — and the intermediate level might be just the one you’ll enjoy starting with, or moving up to.
One less thing to buy. Got your own GoPro camera? The Xplorer G comes with a gimbal that works well with the Hero 3 or 4.

Keep the good times going.
Xplorer V comes complete with 3-axis gimbal and HD 1080p video/14.4 megapixel still digital camera

ARAD35** 1/10 Scale 2WD Electric Desert Buggy RTR
Amazing value — quality engineering, at a great price Completely preassembled — ready for action, right out of the box Everything included — real convenience, with nothing left to buy Extremely durable — backed by a 2-year limited warranty Waterproof electronics — for worry-free running in rain, mud or snow Low maintenance — easy to work on, and designed for easy access Very upgradeable — no need to buy an all-new model to move up; go faster by going brushless!
“ARRMA was our basher of the year for low, medium, and high end price points. The FURY and the other MEGA vehicles are great for beginners. The bottom-feed battery hatch is great for kids and makes it very easy to swap out batteries. All the ARRMA vehicles come stock with a lot of upgrades. If you compare the BLX 1/8th scale trucks to equivalent vehicles from other brands the ARRMA are half the cost. The upper end ARRMA vehicles are so loaded up with upgrade parts out of the box they’re like a tank. You’d spend $500 bucks to get all the upgrades that come stock on the BLX 1/8th scale trucks from another brand. They beat everything else in their class, and when it is out on display with all the aluminum stock parts it sells itself.”

“ARRMA is a quality product at price points that customers want. They are easy to work on and upgradeable to brushless or LiPo to go faster. Customers buy the base unit and practice with it, and a few weeks later they’re back in my store upgrading to go faster.”

Hitch a ride with a bevy of beauties
Volkswagen introduced the Type 2 Delivery Van in 1950, and it was a trend-setter from the very start. Imitators came and went over the years, but the Type 2 remains an automotive icon to this day. In the U.S., it is most remembered as a favorite transport of the counterculture movement during the 1960s and 1970s. Models from this era continue to be popular with aficionados, who’ve affectionately nicknamed them “vee-dubs” and “hippie-mobiles.” This limited edition kit features a special wraparound decal with three Hasegawa egg plane girls. 52136-0 (Limited Edition) HSGS5236

Rorke’s Drift stopped a large Zulu force from raiding deep into Natal and restored some confidence after the disastrous British defeat at Isandlwana.

Dragon Models 1/72 Do 335 B-6 Arrow Coming or going?
The eccentric pusher/puller configuration of the Do 335 gave it the power of a twinengine airplane without the traditional drag and differential pull problems associated with that layout. The result was an incredibly fast fighter—nearly 40 mph faster than the Mustang at full-tilt. A weapons load consisting of twin 20mm cannons and a single 30mm firing through the propeller hub gave the “Phiel” (arrow) significant offensive capabilities. Fortunately for the Allies, the aircraft went into production too late in the war to be effective. 5010
