Probably the only reason to own a PS Vita is that the new MotorStorm RC game is FREE to download and play for North America folks for a short time. (Thanks to a Toyota and Scion promotion) The best thing about the game, is the included skatepark bashing that you can see at the beginning [...]
Two hours of rc racing action was on T.V. tonight, did you catch it? Yes indeed, the Documentary Channel aired “Carpet Racers” the movie (I am writing this on Sunday night 03.03 btw), marking yet another mainstream achievement for our hobby. No, the Doc Channel isn’t even available to many Americans, but, they provided more [...]
Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to go from land to water without any problems? Well I have the answer, an amphibious HPI wheely king! The wheely king is perfect for this build; it’s straight axles, four wheel drive, and chassis mounted steering means that only a few minor modifications need [...]
New from Reedy are these different length sensor wires for 1:10 and 1:8 sensored motor setups. They come flat for easy use and a slick look.

I guess to try and keep the price down they went back to a AM radio, because they just announced their Micro SCT [...]
A new combo from Novak is the Novak GTB 2 X-Drive LP ESC and Ballistic Brushless motor. The GTB 2 is a sensor-based esc built for all non-timing spec style classes for 2WD buggy racing. You can get it with either a 8.5T or 17.5T motor which are all spec legal. Head on over to [...]
A couple of weeks ago we posted a bunch of pictures from the Motorama 2012 event. We just got word from our Hobbico friends of a video they just released from the show. Enjoy!
Cubby, I’m looking at getting a mini to have fun with in and out of the house. Just wondering if you have any preference between the small scale stuff. RC18T or RC18r or losi 1/24 rally, I’ve ruled out the mini-z’s as they are indoor only. Also need to get something a 2year old can [...]
