RC Plane at Baseball Game
The dodgers and Diamond Backs had a bit of a distraction when this RC On TV moment has a Mini RC Plane flying around the stadium. The crowd was digging it, but obviously the players and announcers didn’t feel the same way. The barrel roll was a great addition to the flying! Sadly, it does not end well for the [...]
Milwaukee Brewers Love RC!
This one actually made me laugh at the end! Another RC On TV moment has the Milwaukee Brewers driving around their stadium with a RC buggy. The video is embedded after the break so keep reading for a little chuckle! #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in [...]
RC On Unchained Reaction
It always brings a smile when we get to add to our RC On TV category of posts. This one is from the Mythbusters guys on their new show Unchained Reaction! They team uses a RC Camaro to start off their whole reaction by driving it out of a little garage, up the ramp, and knocking a ball to start [...]
Axial Ridgecrest AX10 Unboxing
We just got our hands on the Axial Ridgecrest. So before we go out and beat up on it, here are the unboxing photos while it’s still nice and shiny. I think Adam the Intern has been wanting to get his hands on one, and since he’s been the resident scale/crawler guy lately, I’ll be handing it off to him [...]

Duratrax VW Baja Bug Review
The Duratrax VW Baja Bug ReviewAt a visit to Hobbico headquarters several months ago, I got a sneak peak of what some of their upcoming lineup was going to be. I got to see the ARRMA brand, the new Evader Brushless, and finally the VW Baja Bug. Everything I saw had a unique quality that made it special, and for [...]

RC Stuff In Local Toy Catalog
So I’m flipping through this toy catalog I got in the mail recently. It’s sort of a ‘local’ place about 20 minutes from my house. The name of the place is Oakridge Hobbies and Toys. They have moved several times over the years, but always seemed more like a FAO Schwarz wanna be. You would have no problem [...]

Schumacher Racing to Distribute Thunder Power RC

Head over to the Schumacher Racing or Thunder Power website for details [...]

Lunch with Igor and Cassandra
I just wanted to give a shout out to our Euro writer Igor and his lovely fiancee Cassandra who I recently had lunch with in downtown Chicago. We don’t get to see Igor much since he lives in Germany, so when he’s in the states we always try and meet up for a little chat. For those that [...]

Novak Diablo Dual Battery Brushless 550 System
Looks like Novak is now shipping the Diablo Dual Battery Brushless 550 System. This setup is Novak’s answer to all those 1/10th scale trucks that use dual 2S LiPo setups like the Traxxas E-Maxx or HPI E-Savage. It’s supposed to be easy to use/setup with 3 different modes. Default gives you full driving power with 50% reverse power. Standard gives [...]

He didn’t share too many details, but it sounds like he will be working with the some surface brands. We have also heard [...]
Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger Review
The Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger ReviewThe moment we saw the Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger, our gut reaction was that this might be pretty cool. A mini monster truck based on the 1/16 scale E-Revo platform would be fun to bash with. Then we read further and saw that it was shipping as a 2wd vehicle, and you could ‘upgrade’ to [...]
