Losi 1/10 XXX-SCB RTR Review
THE Losi 1/10 XXX-SCB (Short Course Buggy) RTR ReviewIntro- Yes, I have to admit I’m a biased reviewer on this one folks. When the original gold tubbed RC10 was released I always envisioned the buggy class morphing into something like the Losi XXX-SCB, but for 2 decades it went the way of the Associated B4 and Losi 22.

THE Cub Report- 06.12.2011- Epic 4 Hour Montreal Battle
Jenson Button put in one of the most epic drives in motor-sports yesterday, surviving a marathon rain delayed race to take the win in Montreal at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix. Thus far the 2011 F1 season has been a bore, but last weekends Canadian GP more than made up for the lack of pizzazz of the earlier races. [...]

Traxxas getting ready to rent a UHaul
The economy may be hurting a lot of people out there right now, but not Traxxas. They’re still raking in the dough.
