Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger Unboxing
We got our hands on the new Traxxas 1/16 scale Grave Digger, but I’m not sure if this is a unboxing or a un-packing. Our new Grave Digger was just begging to be let out of it’s home when it arrived. The truck with the radio barely fits, to the point of it’s more a releasing. The truck sticks it’s [...]

Losi 1/24 Micro Truggy
Looks like Losi just announced the new 1/24 Micro Truggy. Comes RTR with oil filled shocks, 2-1 esc/receiver, molded composite chassis, it’s 4WD, threaded axles with no e-clips, and a AM radio. I guess to try and keep the price down they went back to a AM radio, because they just announced their Micro SCT was coming with a 2.4 [...]
