Associated’s latest car is the TC6.1 Factory Team – blue aluminum, ultra narrow carbon fibre chassis, symmetrical chassis design and a full set of ball bearings are but a few standard features. Another cool feature is a rear gear diff. Most pro-level touring cars run ball diffs these days, so it’s nice to see a part that often wears out quickly [...]
I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! This year has been nothing short of amazing for us, and I wanted to give thanks to all of our old and new fans/readers who have really put our numbers through the roof. Every month it seems Cubby is mentioning the fact that we had our best [...]
Photo of the Week Special Edition:by Adam Hilliker Thanksgiving weekend usually means nothing happening in the r/c industry (or anywhere else for that matter), at least here in the States. So to fill the great void left by the darth of information from the r/c companies, here’s a special Long Thanksgiving Weekend edition of R/C Around the Web. Hopefully [...]
Brian is going to shoot me for filling the front page this week, but we had some good questions I didn’t want people to miss! Hang on and enjoy the ride! Love the site and info and follow regularly through Google Reader (may want to throw an ad or two on the rss feed). However I do have a comment/irk about [...]

If you run a dual battery 1/10th scale truck, then Novak’s new Diablo Brushless system is just the boost your rig needs. The Diablo 550 Sensored Motor provides a good fun to bash time ratio, and should also haul combined with the witchcraft intelligent electronics inside the ESC. With all this power comes huge amp loads, but Novak’s got you covered with something called “Launch-Limit” – [...]
Method RC has a sweet new Mirage Clear Body for the TLR 22 that supports both the mid and rear motor configurations. The body was designed with state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (read: high tech stuff) to gain the best aerodynamic performance. It’s made of 0.030″ thick water-clear, high-impact mar resistant Lexan, and includes hook-and-loop strips to secure the [...]
Although it doesn’t always seem like it, there is more than one electric motor and ESC MFG in the RC world. Novak has announced their newly-developed X-Drive technology for ESCs. This adds a new high efficiency brushless motor firing technology that will increase throttle feel and response, and at the same time reducing the ESC’s operating temperature. [...]

Just announced from Evolution Studios is a new game for the PS3 and PS Vita called MotorStorm RC! MotorStorm was a huge hit on the PS3, and it’s cool to see them using all that technology to cram it into a RC version. The game promises four locations on 16 tracks. Does it bug anyone else that nobody has made [...]
Traxxas has something new coming out on the 30th of November 2011! And that’s it really… We don’t know any more! There have been guesses that it could be a 1/5th scale or a 1/8th scale buggy, but nobody is 100% sure. At the rumor price close to $1000 it’s not going to be a 1/16th scale! Personally we are [...]
