First up… In case you haven’t seen it in the “featured” part of our website directly above, you can still get in an entry for our Pro-Line Wipeout Video Contest. [...]
I’ve mentioned a time or two that one of my favorite things about this hobby is that moment when you get a brand new builder’s kit up on your workbench and crack open the box for the first time. The knowledge that you are about to turn a bucket of parts into something that can be driven (along with that [...]

It made a huge splash when it was teased and later officially unveiled in early 2016. Then, well, everything sort of went to hell in a hand basket for HPI, what-with all the now publicized [...]
“Tire Explosion After searching around on Craigslist, I ended up buying a used Traxxas E-Revo and it has more power than I could ever imagine. Can you believe this, on the very first run I blew two of the tires off! How do you guys keep your tires on? What is the best tire glue to use? Love your website and read [...]
Just like in “A Game Of Thrones”, Winter Is Coming, it is inevitable. The question is, what are you going to do? For the racing crowd, winter is easy. It means you put away your 8th scale nitro burner and head to the nearest indoor track to race 1/10th scale buggy. For bashers, things aren’t so cut and dried. Bashers won’t [...]
Just a few years ago it was really unique to be able to purchase a scale Hi-Lift Jack. Nowadays anything you can purchase for a 1:1 rig you can find in 1/10 form with relative ease.

“Remote Control Tackling Dummy Cubby Seeing if you and the guys at Big Squid have seen the Mobile Virtual Player (MVP) tackling dummy.

I could not find anything on the [...]

I’ve been running hot around here the for the last month or so and just realized that I had never discussed the 1/12 ECX Barrage 1.9 RTR Crawler. The Barrage, scheduled to be released early November according to our friends at A-Main Hobbies, is interesting to me as it’s trying to appeal to the budget crawler crowd with a small platform, just [...]
Hello and welcome back to Bashers Basics! In this post, we will look at batteries, and what you need to know before upgrading. I fondly remember the days where I rocked that 7 cell Nimh battery, trying to extract every last ounce of power out of my “rtr” battery. Hard core guys will say that is nothing, and tell you [...]
Axial “For Heaven sake” Hey Cubby, Thanks for providing a platform for all the amplification needed by Rc Enthusiasts. Will you be kind enough to show some insight on : What’s the purpose or advantage of buying these new lines on axial monster jam trucks (SMT10-Grave digger/max D) since they are painfully slow hence you can’t get the performance of a monster truck [...]
