The Retired Report – RC Racing is COOKED
You heard what I just said, rc racing is COOKED. It’s BENT AF, as it has now become literally a race to extinction. Who allowed this to happen? Why doesn’t anyone actually fix it?

Review – Powerhobby 729MBL Brushless Waterproof Servo
A few weeks ago we received a new 729MBL Brushless Waterproof Servo from Powerhobby for review purposes. Most of our staff had not driven a Powerhobby servo, but one of guys, Hawaiian Chris, had actually used a couple in the past. Before we had even cracked open the box on the Powerhobby, Chris told us that the ones he had [...]
