The crew over at ARRMA have taken the bashing world by storm. From the very get-go they have been making products for bashers like we’ve never seen before. One of their latest bash-creations is the 1/10th scaled Kraton 4S BLX RTR Monster Truck. The new 4S version of the Kraton was designed for serious rc fun, while not breaking the [...]
Scale realism has taken over the rc world. Evidence of this can not only be seen in the rock crawling world, but also on-road. A great example of this is the Kyosho 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. The Kyosho Chevelle comes with one of the best looking bodies that we’ve seen from Kyosho, plus it sits on the very basher-friendly [...]
Released just a few weeks ago, the Losi Ford Raptor Baja Rey King Shocks Edition RTR from Horizon Hobby has created quite a stir in the bashing community.

The crew over at Kyosho know a thing or two about scale realism. Over the years, Kyosho has put out some impressive rigs that not only had great styling, but were also top notching while being driven. One of Kyosho’s newest on-road cars is a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that is big on scale realism, but was also designed to [...]
We know the Traxxas TRX-4 RTR is a capable rig, we have seen TONS of them both on the trails and in comps. Now you have the choice to build it from the ground up which is an awesome way to learn everything there is to know about the truck for if and when you need to work on it. [...]
Now hitting stores from Axial Racing and Horizon Hobby is the Yeti Jr.™ Can-Am® Maverick 1/18th Scale Electric 4WD – RTR.

We’ve been putting in pack after pack on the Axial to see just [...]
The most anticipated vehicle release from Redcat Racing of all time has to be the Gen8 International Scout II. When the Redcat Racing crew announced the upcoming release of the Gen8, the scale crawler world was taken back. Banking on the success of the Gen 7, Redcat listened to the fans and made substantial changes to the Gen8; and by [...]
Some rc cars are made to win world championships, others strictly for backyard fun. Kyosho has long been known for building rc vehicles for both the track and cul-de-sac, with their latest bash machine being the Rage 2.0. The original Rage was very well received by us, as well as many others, so for 2019 the Kyosho crew bolted up [...]
Coming soon to a hobby shop near you is the Losi Super Rock Rey from Horizon Hobby.

When we heard about the ARRMA Voltage Granite Mega from Horizon Hobby was getting a price drop to $99, it seemed like something we wanted to revisit. We had reviewed the ARRMA Voltage Fazon a while back, but this one is a little different. The Granite comes with Lithium Ion batteries which is something that is still very new for [...]
How many people have become hobbyists because of the Tamiya Grasshopper? We don’t have a precise answer for that, but we do know it was a whole lot of people.
