Kershaw Designs E-Revo 5T conversion (!!??)
Those fellas at Kershaw Designs are a bit sick in the head. In a totally good way of course. You’d have to be a little messed up to come up with the idea to take a Traxxas E-Revo and stretch it out to the same wheel base as a HPI Baja 5T. That’s exactly what this new chassis conversion kit [...]

THE Cub Report- Version 02.21.2011, Boogity Boogity Boogity!
Yes I hate NASCAR, but even I had to watch a couple laps of the Daytona 500 today. I have no idea who won, well actually I knew who won, I’ve just never heard of the guy before. And what the hell was up with all that two car drafting? At least there was a couple of epic pile-ups, [...]
