Scale trucks are all the rage now days, but most of them are of the crawling/slow variety. For the ever growing bunch of consumers that demand some speed with their scale looks, Kyosho has released the Outlaw Rampage PRO Kit. The Outlaw Rampage is big on the scale detailing, but also caters to the hardcore hobby crowd by coming as [...]
Well, someone had to go and wake up the sleeping giant that is Traxxas. A few weeks ago Traxxas dropped a bombshell otherwise known as the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. The pictures alone sparked up a fire of conversation that consumed anything else that was happening in the scale world. So how did Traxxas do with their first [...]
It’s rare when a company comes out with a product that you would never expect, and even more rare when that product does not look like anything else you have ever seen. This is exactly what ARRMA RC and Horizon Hobby did when they released the 1/7 Scale Infraction 6S BLX. Does this street basher fire on all cylinders? Keep [...]
Monster Truck fans have been anticipating the release of the CEN Racing 1/10 Solid Axle MT Series trucks for awhile now, and we’ve spent the last few weeks putting not one, but both of them (the HL150 and B50, to be more exact), through their paces. How do these rigs hold up? Read on to find out! #gallery-17 { margin: auto; } #gallery-17 .gallery-item [...]
A little bit ago Traxxas sent us the new TRX-4 Sport with TRAXX, and if you haven’t seen our unboxing go check it out! I was skeptical at first about the new version of the TRX-4, I honestly thought they just put the TRAXX set on the Sport and called it good. As you can tell in our unboxing I [...]
Scale realism is truly taking over rc. At first it was the off-road guys with all their scale realistic rock crawlers, but now even the on-road game is getting the scale treatment. A good example of this is the new Fazer Mk2 1970 Dodge Charger from Kyosho. With the 1970 Dodge Charger, the Kyosho crew mated a highly scale realistic [...]
Hello everybody, if you have seen our unboxing then you know the Redcat Racing Clawback is a monster in size, and if you haven’t seen our unboxing then stop right now and go watch it! There seems to be a lot of talk going about companies working on larger scale rigs lately, and Redcat Racing has already done it and [...]
Axial Racing is keeping the scale train moving with the release of the Wraith 1.9″ from Horizon Hobby. They have gone above and beyond when it comes to listening to the fans on this one, so lets take more in depth look and see if they succeeded to make those fans happy. From: Axial Racing Direct Link: Axial Wraith 1.9″ – RTR [...]
The crew over at ARRMA have taken the bashing world by storm. From the very get-go they have been making products for bashers like we’ve never seen before. One of their latest bash-creations is the 1/10th scaled Kraton 4S BLX RTR Monster Truck. The new 4S version of the Kraton was designed for serious rc fun, while not breaking the [...]
Scale realism has taken over the rc world. Evidence of this can not only be seen in the rock crawling world, but also on-road. A great example of this is the Kyosho 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. The Kyosho Chevelle comes with one of the best looking bodies that we’ve seen from Kyosho, plus it sits on the very basher-friendly [...]
Released just a few weeks ago, the Losi Ford Raptor Baja Rey King Shocks Edition RTR from Horizon Hobby has created quite a stir in the bashing community. The Ford Raptor has one of the most detailed bodies that we’ve seen from Losi, plus it comes on the highly capable Baja Rey platform. We’ve been pushing our test truck to [...]
The crew over at Kyosho know a thing or two about scale realism. Over the years, Kyosho has put out some impressive rigs that not only had great styling, but were also top notching while being driven. One of Kyosho’s newest on-road cars is a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that is big on scale realism, but was also designed to [...]
We know the Traxxas TRX-4 RTR is a capable rig, we have seen TONS of them both on the trails and in comps. Now you have the choice to build it from the ground up which is an awesome way to learn everything there is to know about the truck for if and when you need to work on it. [...]
Now hitting stores from Axial Racing and Horizon Hobby is the Yeti Jr.™ Can-Am® Maverick 1/18th Scale Electric 4WD – RTR. The Axial is one of the very first UTVs to hit the market, and with Axial’s scale knowledge, it certainly looks like the full sized beast. We’ve been putting in pack after pack on the Axial to see just [...]
The most anticipated vehicle release from Redcat Racing of all time has to be the Gen8 International Scout II. When the Redcat Racing crew announced the upcoming release of the Gen8, the scale crawler world was taken back. Banking on the success of the Gen 7, Redcat listened to the fans and made substantial changes to the Gen8; and by [...]
