RC Truck Stop Two Year Anniversary

Today, December 2nd, is RC Truck Stop’s official two year anniversary. Two years! It’s not the biggest milestone. We readily admit that two years is hardly cause for a parade, but while it may sound cliche, these two years have rather strikingly both flown by and felt like so much more than just two years. […]

RC4WD Blade Snow Plow

Many RCers have a fascination with having a scale snow plow. I know I’m guilty because I built my own (You can see it here). Many others have as well. RC4WD has a new plow setup that pretty much puts all the homespun creations to shame. Yup, finally, scalers wanting a fun way to deal […]

Traxxas Stampede 4X4 Brushed

Usually RC companies come out the souped-up, high-zoot version as a follow up to the tamer first edition. That’s not the case with the Traxxas Stampede 4X4. First out of the gate was the VXL version that is powered by Traxxas’ Velineon 3500 Kv brushless. Now, Traxxas has somewhat unexpectedly followed the brushless truck with […]

Scale Crawler Must-Know Setup Tricks & Tips

Most people don’t start off in the hobby doing any sort of competitive RC such as racing or rock crawling comps. And while most everyone strives to have their RC truck at peak performance, competition is what really motivates us to get the thing dialed in, or at least shows us when it’s not. Running […]

    Locked Up RC 2.2″ Rock Cutter SLW Compatible Beadlock Wheel Review

    RC aluminum wheels have been around for a long time. These good-looking-but-heavy wheels were first installed solely as a cosmetic upgrade. Well, back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, I’m sure plenty thought there was a performance advantage, but the reality is the racer that put aluminum wheels of his Tamiya Frog was not improving handling or […]

  • Vaterra Slickrock 1/18-scale RTR Rock Crawler

    Vaterra Slickrock 1/18-scale RTR Rock Crawler

    I usually don’t get too excited about minis, but Vaterra’s latest off-road release looks pretty cool. The Slickrock is 1/18-scale and, like other Vaterra releases, is RTR and waterproof. It features similar electronics as the other Vaterra models, so it’s a mix of Spektrum and Dynamite components. The motor is a 380-sized Dynamite Tazer and […]

    Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6

    Like a G6! Really quickly a R.E.C.O.N. G6 is a unique approach to RC rock competition. Having participated in one, I can best sum it up as being more focused on the experience than the competition. If you’re looking for more specifics, a G6 course is typically much longer than the average scale course–as in […]

    CKRC Crawlers Suicide Switch Axial Wraith Steering Kit Review

    Steering is one of the most critical functions of an RC truck. Race trucks need to track straight, turn with precision and react quickly. Rock crawlers, on the other hand, need a durable setup that offers up lots of steering throw (the more the better). CKRC has an interesting system for the Axial Wraith called […]

    Axial Maxxis Trepador 2.2 Tires

    We love scale tires. Not just tires for a scalers, but tires that are scale models themselves. Axial gets this and has a bunch of tires that are spot on replicas of the real thing. The latest is 2.2 version of the Maxxis Trepador. These are officially licensed are molded in Axial’s soft and sticky […]
