Today was event #2 of 4 in the Suburban Chicago Rock Crawlers point series. Todays RC Rock Crawling event was held at HobbyTown USA – Orland Park. There was a lot of talk about this course early on since nobody had really run on it… ever. Nobody really knew what to expect from [...]
Duratrax makes the Vendetta more Durable!
File this under the ‘better late then never’ category, Duratrax now has a hop-up suspension conversion kit for the 1/18th scale Vendetta. I’m a big fan of the Durratrax Vendetta, and an even bigger fan of the Vendetta ST. (Check our reviews) I’m glad to see them supporting the vehicles. I can only hope they [...]

Venom thinking about the bashers?
While this probably isn’t the top Venom news story of the day, I think it’s a good one. Venom has just announced this RC Transmitter Bag with detachable cooler! At first though.. you are probably thinking.. WHAT THE?! But thinking about it a little more, I own a expensive transmitter that I like to keep protected, [...]

This is one of the coolest RC Rock Crawling bodies I have seen. This is the new Helios from Pro-Line Racing. It fits the Axial Scorpion as well as the HPI Wheely King. It looks a little like a vehicle from a Halo video game. It meets the minimum dimensions for competition, and is very [...]
