Time to unbox the Traxxas TRX-4 Chassis Kit. Because we are still recovering from the flood here at the office (it’s still a mess) Wrench stepped up and shot the video over at his place. We are really looking forward to building the kit, and will let everyone know how it goes. We aren’t expecting any gotcha’s, but you [...]

The Demon SG4 scale truck from Cross RC came out of nowhere, and instantly had a ton of interest and people questioning everything about it. How do they get one? Who is Cross RC? What sort of quality is the kit going to be? It’s has been a while since we got our hands on a true kit, so lets [...]
We have been posting blurbs about the new E-Revo for a week or so now, but the official news and specs are finally available. The E-Revo became a dominant force in the rc monster truck realm, and the latest version is looking like it may continue that streak. We were originally calling it the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 but it looks [...]
We got our hands on the Cross RC Demon SG4 scale crawler that has been blowing up the rc internet lately. This truck really looks good, and our first impressions of the kit are very positive. We are looking forward to getting this thing built! We have the Demon SG4C edition of the truck that has a few more aluminum [...]

We are down to the final two. If you missed the rest of the top 5, you can click the Bash Vehicle of the Year Award link to see what the previous vehicles for this year and previous years were.

If you didn’t catch #5 yesterday, here is what’s going on. Each year we hand out our Bash Vehicle of the Year Award. There can only be one winner, and there is usually a list of the top 5 we had thought about winning. EVERY vehicle that makes this list, or that was considered a possible bash vehicle of [...]
