Redcat GEN9 Scout 800A

Review: Redcat Gen9 International Scout 800A

After years of waiting, the predecessor to the Redcat Gen8 has finally arrived.

One of the easiest ways of improving your rigs crawling performance is to move its center of gravity closer to the ground by adding weight down low. The further down, the better.

Losing grip – Club5Racing accessories review

We all want a good looking car standing out from the crowd, and while a custom paint job requires a fair bit of work and skill, boosting the look with accessories do not.

While I try to experiment with different brands and upgrade options, there are times when I find an upgrade that just works, and I end up using it over and over (and over) again.
