Scale crawling gets bigger every day. What was once a small niche, is suddenly the hottest product segment in rc. And while hardcore scalers demand a kit to alter and modify as they build, a lot of the new people entering the scale movement come from the ready to run world, or simply don’t have the time to build a [...]

The hobby has gone Traxxas TRX-4 mad as of late, but for this edition of MTM I want to look at the truck where it got all its mojo from – the Summit. The Traxxas Summit was originally released in 2009 and is still available today, albeit with several upgrades from the OG unit. Based on the Revo platform, it has [...]

Recently posted by Hobbico is a new video that spotlights the Tactic TTX200 transmitter. The TTX200 is super affordable and comes with the smaller form factor that scale off-road enthusiasts are after. The small, lightweight design of the TTX200 comes in handy on those all day trail drives, but just because it is small doesn’t mean it lacks for features. [...]

Consumers, dealers, and media, flocked to Eli Field to see all of Horizon’s new [...]
The folks at HPI Racing recently uploaded a video featuring their Toyota FJ Cruiser being driven at the UK Recon G6. This video does a great job of showing how real the Venture looks when driven out in the wild, plus it also shows how capable it is.

Another week, more time spent with our TRX4. I ****-you-not, our review vehicle has had more miles put on the odometer in one month than several of our scalers have had put on them during their entire lives. I’ve also never seen so much interest in a vehicle from the non-hardcore crawlers at BSRC. I mean, even Cubby is gaga over [...]
