We’ve reviewed a lot of different brands over the years, but we had never reviewed a truck from MJX before. In recent years, MJX is making a big push on the rc scene, offering big fun and performance, at affordable prices. With our primary readers being bashers, their products fit well for our type of people, so we got in [...]
There are always new companies coming into the rc scene, but we don’t think there is a more exciting new company for bashers than Rlaarlo. They’ve proven they can put out a great rock crawler, they’ve proven they can put out a great rally car, and now we’ve finally gotten a chance to see just how one of their true [...]
The crew over at IMEX RC are some of the most hardcore you’ll find in rc. They’ve been supporting this industry before many of our staffers were even born, LOL, and we have a feeling they’ll still be around for a long time to come. For the last few weeks we’ve been driving and reviewing the IMEX 1/16 Bolt RTR [...]
A couple weeks ago we did our first review of an IMEX RC vehicle and this week we are doing our very first Rlaarlo review! Rlaarlo (pronounced Ray-La-Low) is relatively new on the rc scene, but have already made a big splash with their scale crawlers and monster trucks. For the last few weeks we’ve been testing their 1/12 XTS-P12 [...]
Recently the crew at IMEX RC sent us one of their Exterminator 1/12XL Brushless 4×4 RTR Stadium Trucks for review. The Exterminator is small enough to be driven in areas where larger trucks can’t go, while also being big enough to handle rough terrain outdoors. After putting the Extreminator through the wringer for a few weeks, we learned a lot [...]
We’ve long been huge fans of Hitec battery chargers and recently we got the chance to review their new RDX1 200 Smart Charger. The new Hitec packs solid charging power of up to 12 amps, the ability to connector to your computer to store pack information, and is street priced at under 80 bucks. We’ve been using (read- abusing) the [...]
The Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck is now available in Green. It’s no secret that I’m an 80’s nostalgia nut. And by the looks of it, so is Element RC. We missed our first chance at the Bushido when it came out, but not this time! So, lets jump in a see what this little green truck has to [...]
Here ya go rally race fans, CEN Racing has dropped their new 1/8 2023 M-Sport Ford Puma Rally RTR. With incredible scale looks and a beefy 4wd drivetrain, the new CEN is posed to be a genuine winner in the marketplace. Even better, with me supporting Red Bull before the product even came to America, the CEN is one of [...]
Cross RC has released a 1:8 scale monster! The new Cross RC EMO X comes in multiple colors, yellow, blue, silver, and as well as a kit version for all you master builders. The EMO X is packed with features, locking front/rear Diffs, 2 speed transmission, 2.2 wheels and tires, a full lighting system and much more. We here at [...]
One of the easiest ways of improving your rigs crawling performance is to move its center of gravity closer to the ground by adding weight down low. The further down, the better. In other words: think around the axles. Portal covers, C-hubs, knuckles, differential covers and such. There’s numerous brass options available, and I have had the pleasure of trying [...]
Element RC has joined the basic rig or “sport” model game. Element is the underdog in the RC world, and time and time again they have risen to the top. So will the new Sendero Sport Edition hold up to the Element RC name? Or will it tumble down the scale cliff and explode like a chair in the Simpsons? [...]
A few weeks ago we received a new 729MBL Brushless Waterproof Servo from Powerhobby for review purposes. Most of our staff had not driven a Powerhobby servo, but one of guys, Hawaiian Chris, had actually used a couple in the past. Before we had even cracked open the box on the Powerhobby, Chris told us that the ones he had [...]

Unlike the previous DL Series rigs that were dually’s, the new F-250 SD is a standard truck with only 4 wheels. Rocking a set of Licensed KG1 Forged wheels, new RGB multicolor [...]
I’m no stranger to R/C upgrades, especially those for my collection of crawlers and trail rigs. While I try to experiment with different brands and upgrade options, there are times when I find an upgrade that just works, and I end up using it over and over (and over) again. Injora’s array of upgrade options for the Axial SCX24 is nothing [...]
