Product Spotlight – Pro-Line Ford F150 Raptor X-Maxx Body
Because of its large size and the way it mounts, there aren’t a whole lot of different bodies on the market for the Traxxas X-Maxx. The folks over at Pro-Line saw the problem and worked up a Ford F150 Raptor for all you X-Maxx owners. The Raptor comes in clear, thus giving you the option to put any paint scheme [...]

RC4WD Trail Finder 2 LWB Mojave II RTR Review
Scale crawling gets bigger every day. What was once a small niche, is suddenly the hottest product segment in rc. And while hardcore scalers demand a kit to alter and modify as they build, a lot of the new people entering the scale movement come from the ready to run world, or simply don’t have the time to build a [...]

ASK Cubby- Your Questions, My Pot Stirring
TRX-4 Hop-ups Cubby, Awesome review that you did on the Traxxas TRX-4. It got me off the fence, I am buying one for sure now.

Losi Ten-MT Monster Truck Review
Losi, once a brand for racers only, is now a company known as much for great bash machines as it is for winning national championships. Over the last few months we’ve been driving, jumping, crashing, and generally abusing the Ten-MT Monster Truck, a truck that Losi has produced to help dominate the basher market. The Ten-MT is pure basher with [...]
