The folks at ECX and Horizon Hobby have been releasing out all sorts of r/c vehicles geared towards beginners or budget-minded hobbyists over the last couple of years, and the 1/10 Amp Crush is their latest entry in the always popular ready-to-run (RTR) 2wd monster truck segment of the hobby. How did it fare after extensive testing? Read-on to find [...]
The CEN Racing Ford F-450 Dually was teased about two years ago at SEMA show, then never seen until now. Dually‘s in the RC world are usually custom made so when we saw the pictures two years ago, it started a buzz that has now grown into an Earth-shattering Earthquake. When we got ours, we really did not know what [...]
Let’s be honest, most of us have seen the SCX10 III RTR coming out at some point, but we had no idea when. In my best Action movie Trailer voice over “THIS SUMMER, AXIAL WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!” Ok maybe not the world but you get where I am going with that. After Axial’s release frenzy last year, we [...]
Gmade has been making a big push here in the states with some remarkable crawlers. Two years ago, many hobbyists hadn’t even heard of them, yet here we are at the tail end of 2019 and Gmade is making a huge mark on the scale scene. One of their latest scale crawler kits is the GS02 based Komodo Double Cab [...]
The folks over at Team Corally are attempting to take over the bashing world. Recently, Corally announced a line-up of new hardcore bashers. We’ve had a couple weeks to bang on their all new Kronos XP 6S Monster Truck to see how it stacks up to the competition. How does it handle? Is it crazy fast? How easily does it [...]
Carisma RC recently hooked us up with some rigs to play around with and see what we think. Tim and Cubby got the 1981 4-Door Range Rover Classic and I got the SCA-1E LWB 1976 Ford F-150. I have been keeping a close eye on the Carisma Ford F-150 since it was released since I love me some Fords from [...]

Yes it is designed for hardcore bashing! Yes it comes with a Spektrum 8S capable SMART speedo! Yes it has huge tires! Nobody reads this part anyways, LOL, so let’s just [...]
Axial Racing has not let up on the scale skinny pedal all year and has released another rig! The new Axial Racing SCX10 II Ford F-100 RTR is taking the RTR body game to another level with a four-piece bed and the super scale hinge pin body mounts. The 1955 Ford F-100 is a much-needed scale body in an 1/10 [...]
The crew at Carisma have been putting out highly scale realistic cars for decades. Ivan and his crew have always gone a bit above and beyond to ensure their products not only performed well, but also looked immaculate. Case in point is Carisma’s new 1981 Range Rover scale crawler. The Range Rover sports a classic off-road look with a seriously [...]
There is no doubt that Traxxas is best known for their monster trucks. Their latest is the 1/10th scaled Maxx, which is modeled after the beastly large scale X-Maxx. Designed to be the “king of the hill” for tenth scaled monster trucks, the crew at Traxxas spent months on the Maxx dialing it in. How fast is the new Maxx? [...]
RC rock crawling is all the rage now days and Gmade has been producing some very cool trucks for the genre. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been able to check out their GOM Rock Buggy RTR. The GOM is an affordable rock buggy that was designed for serious off-roading. How long does it take to get the GOM [...]
Scale trucks are all the rage now days, but most of them are of the crawling/slow variety. For the ever growing bunch of consumers that demand some speed with their scale looks, Kyosho has released the Outlaw Rampage PRO Kit. The Outlaw Rampage is big on the scale detailing, but also caters to the hardcore hobby crowd by coming as [...]
Well, someone had to go and wake up the sleeping giant that is Traxxas. A few weeks ago Traxxas dropped a bombshell otherwise known as the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6. The pictures alone sparked up a fire of conversation that consumed anything else that was happening in the scale world. So how did Traxxas do with their first [...]
It’s rare when a company comes out with a product that you would never expect, and even more rare when that product does not look like anything else you have ever seen. This is exactly what ARRMA RC and Horizon Hobby did when they released the 1/7 Scale Infraction 6S BLX. Does this street basher fire on all cylinders? Keep [...]
Monster Truck fans have been anticipating the release of the CEN Racing 1/10 Solid Axle MT Series trucks for awhile now, and we’ve spent the last few weeks putting not one, but both of them (the HL150 and B50, to be more exact), through their paces. How do these rigs hold up? Read on to find out! #gallery-75 { margin: auto; } #gallery-75 .gallery-item [...]
