Hey Cub-ster, I know you guys are all about bashing and so am I (hence the reason I bought a Savage X as my first RC in twenty years and is my first nitro truck, I love it!). However, I am thinking about getting into RC racing and I think a good place to begin would be 2WD stock CORR events [...]

I’m very happy to see that Traxxas is now shipping their TQ 2.4GHz radio with many of their RTR vehicles! This will really help the basher and newbie market!
