Here we go folks, here’s our review of the Rlaarlo 1/8 Dragon Scale Knight 4WD Brushless RTR. Rlaarlo has made a huge splash in the American RC market in recent years. Their rock crawlers, as well as other products, have proven to be not only good looking, but also very reliable. Their latest release, the 8th scale DSK RTR buggy, [...]
We’ve reviewed a lot of different brands over the years, but we had never reviewed a truck from MJX before. In recent years, MJX is making a big push on the rc scene, offering big fun and performance, at affordable prices. With our primary readers being bashers, their products fit well for our type of people, so we got in [...]
There are always new companies coming into the rc scene, but we don’t think there is a more exciting new company for bashers than Rlaarlo. They’ve proven they can put out a great rock crawler, they’ve proven they can put out a great rally car, and now we’ve finally gotten a chance to see just how one of their true [...]
Just a few years ago not many people knew about Rlaarlo, but that has all changed today. With a wide variety of products ranging from high-speed cars to crawlers, Rlaarlo is attempting to take over the rc world with affordable, high quality rc cars. A few weeks ago we were shipped Rlaarlo’s XTS-S10 4WD Brushless RTR Rally Car to see what [...]
As we enter indoor race season, the Big Squid Bash Crew decided to check out the Team Saxo 1/8 RC Go Kart Kit ARTR. Designed to be affordable, yet scale realistic, we got a chance to build and bash one the Go Carts to see how it stacks up. Featuring a carbon fiber chassis, and a large driver figure, the [...]
The crew over at IMEX RC are some of the most hardcore you’ll find in rc. They’ve been supporting this industry before many of our staffers were even born, LOL, and we have a feeling they’ll still be around for a long time to come. For the last few weeks we’ve been driving and reviewing the IMEX 1/16 Bolt RTR [...]
A couple weeks ago we did our first review of an IMEX RC vehicle and this week we are doing our very first Rlaarlo review! Rlaarlo (pronounced Ray-La-Low) is relatively new on the rc scene, but have already made a big splash with their scale crawlers and monster trucks. For the last few weeks we’ve been testing their 1/12 XTS-P12 [...]
Recently the crew at IMEX RC sent us one of their Exterminator 1/12XL Brushless 4×4 RTR Stadium Trucks for review. The Exterminator is small enough to be driven in areas where larger trucks can’t go, while also being big enough to handle rough terrain outdoors. After putting the Extreminator through the wringer for a few weeks, we learned a lot [...]

The Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck is now available in Green. It’s no secret that I’m an 80’s nostalgia nut. And by the looks of it, so is Element RC. We missed our first chance at the Bushido when it came out, but not this time! So, lets jump in a see what this little green truck has to [...]

RC4WD has just dropped the scale Mic with the release of the new Trail Finder 2 LWB Chevrolet Scottsdale body set!

After years of waiting, the predecessor to the Redcat Gen8 has finally arrived. As the proud owner of three Gen8/Gen8 P.A.C.K. rigs, I was thrilled to find out that Redcat was shifting its focus back to trail trucks with the release of the Gen9 International Scout 800A. And I was ecstatic when they shipped a pre-release model my way for [...]
Element RC has joined the basic rig or “sport” model game. Element is the underdog in the RC world, and time and time again they have risen to the top. So will the new Sendero Sport Edition hold up to the Element RC name? Or will it tumble down the scale cliff and explode like a chair in the Simpsons? [...]
