It seems like every week or so we get a PR from LRP with something about the SXX V.2 Speed Controller in it, and this week is no exception. The latest news is that the SXX will now be bundled with the Vector X-12L Short Course 550 motor. This is good for those that like to keep their stuff paired [...]
We just heard from JConcepts they now have the Illuzion B4.1 Finnisher Worlds Body. It fits the Associated B4.1 and B4 models with the +8mm extended chassis. It has a increased windshield to help with air flow in the jumps and the spaces between the body and chassis have been tightened up to help keep the air from getting all up [...]

Hey everyone, just saw that Castle Creations is recalling some of their larger scale ESC’s. The Phoenix Ice HV, The Mamba XL and the Hydra Ice HV. They are asking that customers cease operation of these controllers, and send them back to Castle for modifications. I know several people using the Mamba XL, so I thought we should help [...]

Recently the folks over at ST Racing Concepts released a GT-8/Rally conversion kit for the Slash 4×4. Is your Traxxas Slash 4×4 already collecting dust, and you think you need to breath some new life into it? Would you rather be driving more of a rally car that a short course vehicle? Can you believe that under the hood these [...]
When it comes to “Basher Approved” no one knows it better than RPM. After all, we did happen to basher approve their ENTIRE PRODUCT LINE! Well, you can add one more part to the list with their new Shock Shaft Guards for Team Associated 1/10 scale vehicles! These look similar to the same shaft guards RPM released [...]

HPI is claiming speeds up to 73mph with the right gearing, and that’s nothing to laugh at. The Flux Blur ESC and Tork 2200 motor can handle 6S and that’s the sort of thing that makes us [...]
Here’s a pretty killer piece of RC on TV! The Fox NASCAR crew and Tony Stewart got a chance to feel out the new Daytona asphalt using a Traxxas Slash earlier this year. Pretty awesome to see my boy Smoke holding a piece of Traxxas weaponry. Check out the video after the break!
The official announcement was just made that iHobby Expo will be moving to Cleveland Ohio in 2012! What does this mean? It means if you are still on the fence about going to the iHobby Expo in Rosemont, IL October 22nd & 23rd at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, you should really go, because it’s going to be a [...]
There was no F1 race last weekend, nor an AMA motocross… and uggghhh it rained enough on Saturday to waterlog every rc track this side of the Mississippi. Normally I’d have considered the weekend an entire loss and confined myself to the man-cave with a bottle of Jonnie Walker green label, but I looked at the brighter side [...]
