Wow.. Traxxas, the ‘Fastest Name in Radio Control’ (turn off Peter V. Voice) now appears to be a major sponsor of Courtney Force and her NHRA Funny Car! The PR says she is making her pro debut in her Traxxas Ford Mustang. Good luck to all involved! Is there any moving vehicle/sport the Traxxas name is NOT on? #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 [...]

Talk about huge industry news!! We have just been informed that Axial, Team Durango, and ARRMA have all been acquired by Hobbico! All three companies will stay where they currently are, so no need for anyone to relocate or anything, but they are now all owned by Hobbico. This seems like good news for all four companies. I’m sure it [...]

Our RC On TV segment is going to end up going from monthly to weekly to daily at this rate! Last night during the opening race of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Traxxas had some prime real estate for their logo.

HPI Racing just posted a video of some of their testing of the HPI 5B Flux.

Our friends from Novak just sent out a little PR that their GTB 2 ESC’s now incorporate their X-Drive technology. This new technology is a software/hardware combination that does their motor-firing. It improves on throttle, braking and operating temperatures. The GTB 2 is a good 1/10th scale brushless system. You can read our GTB 2 Review Here if you are [...]
