The Duratrax 835B 1/8 Scale Nitro Buggy ReviewAt some point in every RC hobbyists time line, they need to experience an 1/8 scale buggy. They drive like nothing else out there. We recently reviewed the Duratrax DXR8-E Electric Buggy, and now it was time to get dirty with the Duratrax 835B nitro buggy. Does it compare to the DXR8? Does [...]
The Duratrax DXR8-E 1/8 Scale Buggy ReviewAn 1/8 scale buggy has always been a great vehicle to have in your RC lineup. From durability to speed, big air and control, the buggy can always put a smile on your face. The Duratrax DXR8-E is an electric buggy kit. It comes as a rolling chassis that requires you to finish it [...]
THE Axial EXO RTR Terra Buggy ReviewRecently we posted a detailed review of the kit Axial EXO , so when the RTR version was released, it seemed like we should treat it a little differently. We did a little more bashing this time around. You already got all the technical stuff, now you need to make the decision RTR or [...]
THE ARRMA Granite Monster Truck RTR Review The ARRMA line is aimed squarely at our favorite people, us, the basher crowd. Today we’ll be taking a look at the ARRMA Granite, their entry into the 2wd monster truck class. Is it tough? Is it fast enough to have fun? Is it worth the cash? Let’s see…
THE HPI Bullet Monster Truck Flux ReviewWhat seems like a long time ago, HPI announced the Bullet MT Flux in Europe, and it finally made it’s way to the USA. From the first announcement we were interested due to it’s size and power. While bigger is always better, sometimes you just don’t want to drive a huge truck like the [...]
Thunder Tiger Phoenix STII ReviewStadium trucks are not the current rage, but they are still a big part of the RC world. Their low cost and durability often make them a newbie’s first vehicle. Thunder Tiger has several stadium trucks under their belt, so how does the Phoenix STII hold up? Keep reading to find out..
The Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Review In my last review I mentioned that I didn’t mind handing over my R/C cars to just about anyone. This time, it wasn’t because I was worried about the car. I just plain forgot to offer because I was having too much fun with it? So what is a 1:10th scale buggy with 1:8th scale [...]
THE HPI Apache C1 ReviewWhen HPI mad the announcement and initial showed the first pictures of the HPI Apache C1, the world took notice. It was going to be the size people were looking for, the power people wanted, and the scale looks that seem to be the direction RC is going to. People were excited, pre-orders were being [...]
THE 1/10th 4wd Axial EXO Terra Buggy ReviewWind back the hands of time to when Associated first released their legendary RC10 buggy. The RC10 flew off LHS shelves not only because it had ground breaking technology, but also because of its incredible scale looks. Since then rc buggies have gradually become less and less scale realistic, today rc buggies look [...]
The Axial AX10 Ridgecrest ReviewThe all new Ax10 Ridgecrest is Axial’s latest truck to enter the crawler/scale scene. When you first look at the truck it seems to be an Ax10 with a new body, but look closer and you’ll find it has an all new chassis with scaled down Dana 60 axles (also used on the Wraith). The truck [...]
The Duratrax VW Baja Bug ReviewAt a visit to Hobbico headquarters several months ago, I got a sneak peak of what some of their upcoming lineup was going to be. I got to see the ARRMA brand, the new Evader Brushless, and finally the VW Baja Bug. Everything I saw had a unique quality that made it special, and for [...]
The Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger ReviewThe moment we saw the Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger, our gut reaction was that this might be pretty cool. A mini monster truck based on the 1/16 scale E-Revo platform would be fun to bash with. Then we read further and saw that it was shipping as a 2wd vehicle, and you could ‘upgrade’ to [...]
Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
The Traxxas XO-1 ReviewWe finally got our hands on the Traxxas XO-1, easily one of the most talked about car releases of the year. This was Traxxas’s answer for a Supercar. There was controversy from the beginning, and there was also a lot of praise. This is probably the most anticipated and honest reviews of the Traxxas XO-1 you [...]
The Duratrax Evader Brushless ReviewWe first set our eyes on this truck at a private viewing in the Hobbico offices back in October. It was put on the table in front of us with a ‘what do you think?’ and at first glance there was a lot of truck that we were looking forward to. From brushless to waterproof, it [...]
