DHK Hobby Hunter BL SCT Review
Across the globe the DHK Hobby Hunter BL short course truck is well known, but not so much here in America. A few months ago HRP Distributing started bringing DHK into the states so that the American bashing crowd could find out what’s up. We’ve been bashing/thrashing/driving the Hunter BL short course truck to see just how it stacks up. [...]

Losi LST 3XL-E Monster Truck Review
The war at the top of bash mountain is beyond fierce.

“Has BigSquid gone soft? Just read the review of the E-Revo 2.0 and am disappointed in the Broken Parts section.
