Is the Traxxas Summit a rock crawler? It’s a simple enough question, and the answer is just as simple. It is not. The Traxxas Summit was released when rock crawling was solidly and essentially alone in the RC spotlight. That is certainly why so many people assume that the Summit is Traxxas’ entry into the crawler…
To many in RC, Bari Musawwir is a bit of a legend. Not only is Bari the driver of the popular Spider-Man Monster Jam monster truck and the 2011 Monster Jam Rookie of the Year, but he actually got his start in professional full-size monster truck racing when he was discovered competing at an RC…
We are all guilty of being idiots once in a while. The key is to keep your idiot self in check and to keep things in perspective. The keeping things in perspective is essential in RC. This is because no matter what, they’re just toys. Yup, I used the toy word. Sure, they’re pretty sophisticated,…

RC Truck Stop sincerely wishes you and yours a merry Christmas and a truly joyful New Year. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable Christmas day and holiday season.

Formula Off-road–RC or full-size–is relatively unknown in the U.S. It’s often simply called FOFF, but it’s anything but simple to describe. Think of it as a cross between a sand drag and a hill climb with a whole lot of nitrous mixed in. For sure, Formula Off-road is a wild ride. Need more info? FOFF…
There’s dissension in the RC ranks. It’s racers vs. bashers, and you’re either one or the other. That’s just the nature of the way we’re programmed to think these days. Every issue has two sides and you’re on one or the other. You’re either a Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal. You’re either for something…
