Photo of the Week:by Roberto Pompeu Contest: RedCat is hosting a vehicle naming contest for a new line of 1/6 scale vehicles they have coming. If you come up with a name they like, and they use it, you’ll win one of the new vehicles. Know your history: Here’s an old video, from Team Associated, outlining the design process of their original [...]
Photo of the Week:by Travis Batton Nerdgasm: Building a rock crawler demo platform for NASA. It’s a long, cool story with a build log of a 1/5 scale Killer Krawler from RC4WD. Not just for racing: Here’s some ideas for competitions and fun to have with your r/c vehicles and friends. Or just come to one of our bashes, we do [...]

Photo of the Week:by warren_van Around the Web is a day late because I passed out early Friday night before putting it in the editor’s queue. I’ve just started my first non-r/c related project in a long time. I decided my old computer case is just too far gone, so I bought a new one and am doing some mods to make [...]
Photo of the Week:by Csicsó Milestone: The Radio Control Show reaches episode 100, has many big guests, such as Dennis Anderson of Grave Digger fame, Tanner Foust of Top Gear and other fame, and Ken Block of shoe making fame. Nerd stuff: Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4 were released in the past couple weeks. Keeping your browser updated to the most [...]
Photo of the Week:by Steven Velasco What a week it’s been, between the 36 hour turn-&-burn of RCX last weekend, to our hugely successful March Bash-ness Event, things around here have just been out of control. And they’re continuing into next week as we wrap up March Bash-ness and give away another vehicle. Is it going to be an HPI or [...]
Photo of the Week:By Ariel Leshinsky Build Log: PontiacGT201’s SCX10 Project with recent changes. Build Log 2: Building a kit isn’t that hard, don’t be afraid. – A good step-by-step log of building a Tamiya CR-01. Not quite jetpacks and flying cars: Short Course Buggies – The Future? True basher vs. rest of the world: Not much to see here, but it’s funny that [...]
Photo of the Week:by Alexandre Bricka So I finally did my taxes yesterday, and now that I know that I’m getting a refund, I have to decide how to spend it. I might finally get that Clod Buster I’ve been wanting. Although now that Spring is starting to show up around my parts it’s time to get my boat cleaned up [...]
Photo of the Week:by Tim Green R/C Around the Web took a little break last week because there really wasn’t anything worth mentioning anywhere in the R/C web-o-sphere. It probably would have been funny, in a hipster d-bag ironical kind of way, to post a blank R/C ATW, but I’m not a hipster d-bag. There’s not many good projects out there [...]
Photo of the Week:by maxcom I have a busy work weekend, so no bashing for me. I could use the work as an opportunity to introduce a bunch of people to R/C, but I still haven’t fixed the trucks I’d want to take. Oh well, maybe next time. Build Log? More like Built from logs! Ha. *rimshot* Cool Concept Car: Street Fighter [...]
Photo of the Week:by Tomo Iceland I still haven’t recovered from last weekend’s bashing. Both trucks are still down and waiting for parts. Guess I’ll have to break out one of my buggies for some bashing in the snow we got a couple nights ago. On a musical subject, I totally missed the boat on this, but, Animal Alpha is now one [...]
Photo of the Week:by Rafael Moyano Another weekend, another opportunity for bashing. As expected, last weekend’s plans did fall through, no ice fishing, no bashing on a frozen lake. This weekend is going to be a nice one with a family gathering for my great-grandmother’s 90-something birthday. A couple of my R/Cs are going with me (probably the Losi Highroller and [...]
Photo of the Week:by Jonah Kellam For the first time in well over a year I have every R/C vehicle I own in running order. It’s amazing how I can let things sit on the shelf for so long in a broken state. I’m planning on doing some bashing with one of my newly fixed trucks this weekend on a frozen [...]
Photo of the Week:by Francesco I think it’s time for a roundup of some great build logs and how-tos that I’ve missed over the past couple weeks. Build Log: Micro Land Rover Defender Build Log 2: M1088 Scale Build Build Log 3: Tough Truck Hybrid Conversion: Putting Futaba 2.4 GHz radio gear into Kyosho’s Mini Z line Video of the Week:
Photo of the Week:by teclayer It’s still a slow time out there in interwebs land. I guess most of you are still playing with your new R/C Christmas presents or maybe you’re still buried under snow. Contest: Januray 2011 Photo Contest – Theme is Creative:SPECIAL EFFECTS, but no photoshopping! Forum Thread: Ever do something dumb? – Yes, all the time. Timely: How To Make [...]
