Losi is jumping on the closed cell bandwagon. They’ve recently announced a new closed cell foam tire insert for 1/8 scale buggies. These new tire inserts, as is common with closed cell foam, are very durable and won’t break down quickly. You can also reuse them multiple times, saving you money in the long run. These new inserts should be hitting [...]
Check out these new tire inserts from Italian outfit Veggoplastrc. They’re quite strange looking aren’t they? One of the bullet points for the Airbags (which, curiously, don’t actually appear to be filled with air…) is that there’s zero centrifugation. Now I don’t know what that means, but it’s a big word and there’s zero of it, so [...]
Here’s Kyosho‘s next entry in their popular and championship winning Inferno line. The Inferno NEO is a complete RTR package, all you need is a glow igniter, batteries for the radio gear, and nitro. It comes loaded with a GX21BK big block engine, the same wheels as on the MP9 competition Inferno, a new super air flow body, [...]
JConcepts has a new tire for 2.2″ buggy wheels that lies somewhere between their popular Goosebumps tread and the Double Dees tread. They call them the Flip Outs and this is what they have to say about them:Alternating center bar support provides the base for the forward traction while the small accommodating tapered pins provide the dig and flex [...]
The A team’s got another one up their sleeve. This time it’s the Factory Team edition of the RC8Be 1/8 scale electric buggy. So what’s different between this and the non FT version? This one is more bluer. Just like the other Factory Team editions, the RC8Be has been decked out in all kinds of blue [...]
Surprising no one, Associated has announced that their RC18T2 RC18B2 (previously seen as the T2/B2 combo team kit) will soon be available as an RTR. It’s obviously based on the new belt drive chassis that all of the recent Associated 1/18s have been built on. As is usual with the RC18s it’s coming with everything you need except the AA [...]
The Pro-Line blog is showing off a new set of wheels that they’re currently testing. The only info they give is that the new V2 Split Six wheels for 1/8 scale buggies are extremely light and are going to be the ‘Hot’ setup for buggies and short course trucks with the proper adapters. Looks like they’re going to [...]
JConcepts has deigned to give all of us simple plebes a look at their new Punisher body for the Associated RC8 buggy. It’s got the cab forward design that is popular with all the kids these days. A steeply angled windsheild and angled sidepods are meant to provide more front downforce to offer more steering and better control in the [...]

Some of the changes include a new chassis layout for better balance, improved brake system with added front/rear brake balance adjustment, increased steering throw by 5%, [...]

Team Associated has a new clear body for their recently released RTR buggy so you can choose your own paint scheme instead of having one thrust upon you. Now’s your chance to break away from the crowd and be a unique snowflake. This body features Associated’s Interceptor [...]
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: DuraTrax Vendetta So I finally got my hands on the DuraTrax Vendetta. Out of the box, it’s a pretty cool little buggy. DuraTrax always has a good presentation, and the Vendetta carries on their tradition. Something else DuraTrax does good are their manuals. Again the Vendetta manual was no exception. It’s very well laid out, there is lots [...]
From: CEN Racing A few years ago, I remember talking with some CEN employees, who were telling me that CEN was finally going to get serious about RC. They had been in the RC business for a while, and they had some decent RC vehicles, but nothing really amazing. When the Genesis came out, they turned a lot of heads. They [...]
