Ares Nano Micro Chronos CX 75 RTF Helicopter ReviewIt seems like all bashers have a place in their heart for some sort of flight. Either with foam plans, or nano helis, most of us own at least one. We recently got our hands on the new Ares micro heli, and decided to put it to the test. Would it satisfy [...]
THE VS Tank Pro ReviewWe recently got our hands on two VS Tank Pro vehicles. The M4A3 Sherman (USA) and the Pz.753 (German) seemed like good choices. We opted for the infrared instead of the Airsoft versions because we knew with Cubby around we’d have bb holes in walls and bruised shins. On the official VS Tank website the vehicles [...]
The Flyzone Sensei RTF ReviewWe don’t do a lot of airplane reviews, but we do have 3DBill, our resident pilot. Brian and Wrench like to dabble with flying now and then, and by flying I mean ‘Falling with Style’. So we know there is a little crossover with bashers and the flying scene, so why not review a couple of [...]
THE Dr Marty’s Easy On Conductive Grease ReviewI must admit to being a connector freak. It’s very satisfying when I can perfectly solder up a new set of uber connectors to my gear.

Every once in a while we get occasional questions asking us about the mini helicopters people see around. They want to know if they are worth it, are they [...]

The BeaverStick guys have been making RC videos for a long time. If you go check their web site, you’ll see what I mean. They have a TON of videos there to download. The quality of the DVD is really good. The video and audio quality were great on the home stereo and LCD TV. It’s nice to [...]
