Duratrax VW Baja Bug Review

Posted by Brian @ 1:30 am. Filed in: Car & Truck Reviews, Duratrax

The Duratrax VW Baja Bug Review

At a visit to Hobbico headquarters several months ago, I got a sneak peak of what some of their upcoming lineup was going to be. I got to see the ARRMA brand, the new Evader Brushless, and finally the VW Baja Bug. Everything I saw had a unique quality that made it special, and for the Baja it was the of course the body and style. Duratrax was breaking away from their mold and trying something a little different. Along with the VW license came their new ‘Get Dirty’ attitude. Did they deliver? Does the VW break the mold enough to get more people to turn some heads? Keep reading to find out..

Duratrax Multi Driver

Posted by Brian @ 12:18 am. Filed in: Duratrax

So recently we posted about the new DuraTrax 12 Tip Multi Driver Tool. Everyone was thinking this could be pretty cool. Well one showed up on my desk today, and I had to show it! We were wondering how it actually worked/functioned, would it be easy to swap bits, and I have to say yes.. yes it is! We will be putting this thing to the test over the next few days/weeks but first impression is very good.

I like the warnings.. ‘don’t play knife vs hand’, and ‘you must be at cool and wear sunglasses’. Cubby informs me that they mean it’s sharp, and you should wear eye protection. I’m pretty sure I’m right on this one.

The Duratrax Evader Brushless Review

We first set our eyes on this truck at a private viewing in the Hobbico offices back in October. It was put on the table in front of us with a ‘what do you think?’ and at first glance there was a lot of truck that we were looking forward to. From brushless to waterproof, it had what we were looking for in a new Evader, lets see if it stood up to our expectations….

There are a few essential tools that everyone needs in their pit box, and these new ones from DuraTrax are part of your must haves!
