Redcat Shredder SC 1:6 Scale Short Course Review
Redcat Shredder SC 1:6 Scale Short Course ReviewUsually when you hear the words Redcat and RC in the same sentence your initial reaction is to cringe. They just don’t have the best reputation out there right now. The products are usually pretty low priced, and the scales are always non-standard.

Traxxas F150 Raptor SVT
New from Traxxas is the Ford F150 Raptor SVT. According to the description, it’s based on the Traxxas Slash platform.

It comes with the Titan 12T Brushed motor, 2.4Ghz radio system, and BFGoodrich replica tires. [...]
HPI Racing Mini Recon
Looks like HPI Racing is going to try and get into that ‘first rc vehicle’ category. The one where parents and a kid walk into a hobby shop and say, ‘What should we get our kid for his first RC?’ The HPI Mini Recon is going to have a price point of $99!! So it’s easy on the wallet. [...]
