I put together a quick video I shot while doing our iHobby Expo 2008 demos for the crowd. Sadly, because I was the guy on the mic as well, I didn’t get nearly as much footage as I would of liked! Next year I’ll have to get a MC or cameraman. Anyway.. enjoy.. it’s short and sweet. Thanks again to [...]
Anybody else tired of blue colored anodized parts? Goodness knows I am. What made one-off works parts look so trick a decade ago, is standard equipment on every Chinese knock-off entering America. Ever notice the first hundred times you listened to “Come On Eilene” by Dexys Midnight Runners was ok, but the 101st time you wanted to stick a hot [...]

The Traxxas Slash is by far the biggest hit in the RC industry right now. Companies, tracks, racing organizations, and the media are all scrambling to get parts, hop-ups, classes, and articles out as fast as possible involving the Slash and its nitro brother the Slayer. (Can’t leave him out…. 😉 The Slash is nothing really that [...]
