Look for these to hit your local hobby shops sometime in August. It will be interesting to see if the new pro [...]

It’s bigger, and faster than the original Traxxas Slayer! It uses the TRX 3.3 engine with new GTR anodized shocks and BF Goodrich or Kumho tires to reach [...]

Ya, everybody and their Uncles brother is b**ching about how cold it is in the greater Chicago area. I consider it “perfect wrenching” weather. You just know you have a half dozen old cars that need the tlc. So there, all you Snow Misers. America’s iconic rc manufacture, Associated, did a great job of teasing before the release of their SC8 [...]

Myself, along with many in the rc industry, have constantly ragged on Traxxas in the past. But you simply can’t argue with the [...]
