It’s going to be [...]
Well, this looks like the start of something that the public will enjoy seeing played out on the internets. I haven’t been keeping track, so I’m not sure if Han shot first, but I’m guessing this isn’t going to be a one shot fight. Futaba vs Spektrum… FIGHT! Want to know how our first test [...]

Airtronics has been spending some time cooking up something new. The MT-4 is their new mid-range radio with all kinds of high-end features. It starts with a new, light weight pistol grip design that features adjustable steering movement, trigger, and a selection of grips. But more important is what’s packed inside. The onboard computer features [...]
Today we got our Venom dirtbike, the VMX 450 Brushless RTR! The box is well done, nothing mind blowing, but better than average. When I first opened it up, it was actually bigger than I expected. We don’t see a lot of bikes in our area, just a couple now and then on the on-road [...]
