THE ECX Circuit 4WD RTR ReviewMyself, like many of you, spent years driving 2wd Stadium Trucks. They were a whole lot easier to drive and bash with compared to a typical 2wd buggy.

The version 2 comes with a much more powerful Reaktor brushless system, along with many other changes. Is the 10SCv2 that much better than the original? How does it stack up [...]

THE Carisma M40DT Desert Truck Brushless RTR ReviewIs there a hotter class than 4wd Short Course Truck right now?
