U-Review: 1.9 Pit Bull Rock Beast Tires
This longterm U-Review test was conducted using an Axial SCX10 Honcho for a duration of well over a year. I read all the reviews, and heard the complaints. It was not till I read the RC Truck Stop review, that I decided to buy a set for my Honcho. When I got the Pit Bull tires, I was […]

Crawford Performance Engineering is well known among Tamiya Clod Buster enthusiasts, but many more in the RC community are catching wind of Crawford thanks to their $20 high torque servo.
