Beaver Stick Creations: Chaos DVD Review
The BeaverStick guys have been making RC videos for a long time. If you go check their web site, you’ll see what I mean. They have a TON of videos there to download. The quality of the DVD is really good. The video and audio quality were great on the home stereo and LCD TV. It’s nice to [...]

Since we have been covering more RC drag racing lately, we have been getting questions about how to get started in the drag racing scene. Many questions are “where did you get the King Squid?” and “how do I get one?” Well, those are the questions I am going to answer here. It’s going to be a pretty short project, [...]
DuraTrax Vendetta Review
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: DuraTrax Vendetta So I finally got my hands on the DuraTrax Vendetta. Out of the box, it’s a pretty cool little buggy. DuraTrax always has a good presentation, and the Vendetta carries on their tradition. Something else DuraTrax does good are their manuals. Again the Vendetta manual was no exception. It’s very well laid out, there is lots [...]

CEN Matrix review
From: CEN Racing A few years ago, I remember talking with some CEN employees, who were telling me that CEN was finally going to get serious about RC. They had been in the RC business for a while, and they had some decent RC vehicles, but nothing really amazing. When the Genesis came out, they turned a lot of heads. They [...]

DuraTrax Street Force GP 2 Review
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: Street Force GP 2 As a basher, I don’t really do a lot of on-road racing, but I do like to tear up a parking lot whenever I get the chance. It was time to see if the Duratrax Street Force GP2 could handle some parking lot bashing! The kit comes RTR with everything you need to get up [...]

Airtronics MX-3 Review
From: Airtronics The Airtronics MX-3 is a 3 channel computer radio system. This means that instead of having a few little nobs to adjust your throttle and steering trim, you get complete control of all sorts of settings. It can store settings for up to 5 different vehicles, this allows you to just carry one radio and not have to [...]

FlexTek RC Titanium T-Maxx Suspension Arms Kit Review
From: FlexTek RC Direct Link: FlexTek T-Maxx Suspension Arms Complete Kit Being a pretty serious basher, (I usually don’t stop till it’s broken!) you can imagine that I end up having to replace a lot of parts at the end of the day. My usual routine has been, come home, inspect what’s broke, take off the a-arms and bend them [...]

The Stage-D Conversion Set includes a new chassis, drift tires with some sharp looking rims, carbon fiber plates to hold it all together and [...]

From: eXtreme standZ Direct Link: eXtreme standZ Product Page When it comes to working on your RC vehicle, there are a few choices that you can make to prop up your ride.

DuraTrax IntelliPeak Ice Review
No chargers lost their lives in the creating of this review, but bashers need chargers. We have electric vehicles, we have receiver packs, and we need that stuff charged! Now, being bashers, we don’t always go out and buy the BEST of the BEST for ourselves. Do I really need that extra 100mAh that a $500+ charger [...]

The ramp has to be adjustable (height and ramp curve). The ramp has to be sturdy. Time to bash: Can be built in a weekend.
