THE Rlaarlo 1/10 Storm Breaker SBK10 Metal Brushless 4WD RTR…
There are always new companies coming into the rc scene, but we don’t think there is a more exciting new company for bashers than Rlaarlo. They’ve proven they can put out a great rock crawler, they’ve proven they can put out a great rally car, and now we’ve finally gotten a chance to see just how one of their true [...]

IMEX 1/16 Bolt RTR Brushless Short Course Truck Review
The crew over at IMEX RC are some of the most hardcore you’ll find in rc. They’ve been supporting this industry before many of our staffers were even born, LOL, and we have a feeling they’ll still be around for a long time to come.

IMEX Exterminator 1/12XL Brushless 4x4 RTR Stadium Truck Rev…
Recently the crew at IMEX RC sent us one of their Exterminator 1/12XL Brushless 4×4 RTR Stadium Trucks for review. The Exterminator is small enough to be driven in areas where larger trucks can’t go, while also being big enough to handle rough terrain outdoors. After putting the Extreminator through the wringer for a few weeks, we learned a lot [...]

Well hello there, I am Cubby, I am retired, and yet here the freak I am! Ya know, I was gonna do a column on saying goodbye to Doug and Jeremy.
