Congratulations to ARRMA RC because their ARRMA Granite BLX has won our coveted 2013 BASH VEHICLE OF THE YEAR AWARD! We tested a LOT of vehicles this year.

If you are a James “Bubba” Stewart fan (like Brian is), you’ll be stoked to know that Bubba is 4 for 4 racing the outdoor nationals on his new Suzuki 450 this summer.
