Coming soon to a hobby shop near you is a TSM equipped version of the 1/10th scale Traxxas E-Revo. TSM is the stability control system from Traxxas, which should come in handy when trying to put down all the E-Revo’s power on slippery or rough surfaces. The TSM version has a part number of #56087-3, expect a street price of [...]

In fact, Kyosho has just announced a new model of the Blizzard called the FR. What’s new on the FR edition Blizzard you ask? * KT-432S 2.4GHz 4 channel radio * KS4031-06W waterproof [...]
If there was ever a truck targeted right at bashers it would have to be the ECX Brushless 4WD Circuit with AVC from Horizon Hobby. There is no racing class for it, has never really been a racing class for it, and with big brushless power and stability control it has the makings of a backyard beast. Is it a [...]

One of my favorite Sunday comics is FoxTrot, and a few weeks ago they included a quadcopter front and center. It’s always kind of cool to see RC in popular comics, you know, besides our own SquidInk ones. Anyway, wanted to share the FoxTrot in case you missed it. Enjoy.

The Star Wars BB-8 Droid by Sphero was blowing up the internet late Thursday as the press embargo was lifted finally allowing us to show off all the cool new Star Wars toys. This little droid is pretty darn awesome. While we ‘know’ how the head stays on, [...]

After a trip to the craft store and about 15 minutes time actually performing the job, the above result [...]
Maybe the #ForceFriday Millennium Falcon Quad Copter isn’t your thing, well you are in luck as Air Hogs also has a two engine X-Wing Starfighter. We are assuming all flight control is via the two ducted fans, as we don’t see any other moving parts. So power to both fans gives lift, a little more to one or the [...]
What is the best way to lug your 1/5th scaler around? With a tow strap, that’s how, and now MIP has a sano unit to get your big truck around the local bash spot. The MIP Tow Strap is easy to attach to your truck and saves a lot of wear and tear on that back of yours. The strap is [...]
#ForceFriday seemed like the perfect day to post our unboxing pictures of the Air Hogs Millenium Falcon Quadcopter, or Quad as they like to call it. The initial impressions upon opening the box, is it feels really heavy. The foam they use to shape the Falcon isn’t light, so it will be interesting to see how it handles and flies. [...]
