Pro-Line Ford F-150 Raptor SVT SC Body Precut and Pre-painted

We love Pro-Line’s True Scale spin on some of its body lineup. On a related note, we love that Pro-Line has made getting a new look on your short course truck so easy. Let’s face it, painting isn’t everyone’s favorite task. Pro-Line’s Ford F-150 Raptor SVT short course body is now available a precut and […]

Pro-Line Racing Prototype Ford Bronco

Yes, please. It’s a Bronco and we dig it. During a test session, Pro-Line unveiled a prototype Ford Bronco short course body. It is patterned after the third generation Bronco body style that ran from 1980 to 1986. This Bronco was the first Bronco to feature an independent front suspension (Twin Traction Beam or TTB) […]

Common Scaler Crawler Setup Mistakes

Nobody likes making mistakes. If you’re participating in scale comps, mistakes will, of course, keep you from succeeding. Now, the old saying is it’s smart to learn from your mistakes. Well, I think that’s true, but I think it’s brilliant to learn from other people’s mistakes, so below are the top five mistakes people are making […]

LaTrax Teton 1/18 by Traxxas

If you haven’t heard, LaTrax is an offshoot of Traxxas and is designed to provide affordable, easy access to hobby-grade RC.

Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 P/Up GF-01

Tamiya, with its wide array of offerings, doesn’t always release something completely new. Tamiya fans know this. But they also know when the big T does come out with an all new vehicle, it’s often pretty good. Case in point, Tamiya has a new offbeat addition to its fleet of RC vehicles, the GF-01 chassis with Toyota Land Cruiser 40–pick-up […]

Project Split Personalty Short Course Basher And Racer

This is a story of transformations, rebirth, second chances, rebuilding and ultimately new beginnings (yes, use your inner deep movie trailer voice while reading that).

    What I Love About RC Racing

    I write these Commentaries because, well, a lot of people click on them, so somebody must like them. The problem is these Commentary articles are essentially our online version of an editorial and, like real editorials, they can be a little, well, negative. Editorials are opinion pieces and we tend to have something to say on a […]

    STRC Aluminum Upgrades for Axial SCX10 Installation & Review Part Two

      If you look around the web, you’ll find tons of Axial SCX10 rigs around. Also, you’ll find a lot of them modified–mine included. I didn’t leave it stock for long. In November of 2013, I started the STRC SCX10 upgrade build. I was happy with both the looks and performance of the first batch of […]
