I’m a Ford guy, but I love the new Toyota Tacoma, and even though the redesigned grille took a little getting used to, my head turns every time I see one go by in the Quicksand color. So, when Traxxas announced the TRX-4 Sport would now be offered in the very similarly hued Desert Tan,…
Thanks to Traxxas you can get an RC version of one of the most iconic motor vehicles of all time. Dubbed the original monster truck, everybody knows Bigfoot. The Traxxas RC version sits on the Stampede platform and now features the addition of retro-inspired graphics. So, now the three paint scheme versions offered are the…
It should come to no surprise to you that, at RC Truck Stop, we love trucks. I personally happen to be a big Ford fan. To balance things out, Chris Oswald is a Chevy fan (somebody has to root for the underdog), but this release is for me, not him. This time around, JConcepts has…
Axial’s 1/24-scale Deadbolt has some new company in the stable. The SCX24 Jeep Wrangler JLU CRC 4WD adds to Axial’s mini lineup and has all the features seen on its predecessor such as steel frame, full-time 4WD and a 3-link front with 4-link rear suspension. Worm gears are used inside the axles to increase ground…
LiPo cells are no longer brand new technology and while NiMH packs are still kicking around, it’s undeniable that LiPos are the prevailing RC battery chemistry. As a result, there are a lot of options out there. One of the top companies associated with high performance voltage is SMC Racing (Superior Matching Concepts). SMC packs…
If you’re not into video games, PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is, in my humble non-gamer opinion, halfway between the realistic shooting game Call of Duty and the rather cartoonish and offbeat, but insanely trendy Fortnite shooting game. I guess if you’re not into video games that description probably doesn’t help and, truth be told, PUBG has…
The X-Maxx has been a huge success for Traxxas. Not only is it hugely popular, but it’s, well, huge. It’s big and maybe too big for some people. Answering the call for a smaller version, Traxxas announced the all-new Maxx. It’s basically a 1/10-scale version of the X-Maxx, built to run off 4S and go…
After bringing you the news of Spencer Rivkin and Team Associated taking top honors in the 2WD class at the 2019 IFMAR World Championship, we’d be remiss to not announce that Bruno Coelho got the win in the 4WD buggy class that followed. The 2019 IFMAR 1/10th Off-road World Championships was held at the Hudy…
If you own a TV and are remotely into cars you’ve probably seen the Murder Nova “street car” taking on all challenges. If you want this look for your Traxxas Slash, you’re in luck thanks to ProLine’s new 1969 Chevrolet Nova Drag Car body. Designed for the growing short course truck drag racing scene and…
The Losi Tenacity DB Pro is built, as Losi describes, it to be from the factory the way the competition only hopes to be with hop ups. Standout features are a 3 mm think 6061-T6 aluminum chassis with 4 mm thick aluminum shock towers and 12 mm aluminum shocks. The Tenacity is 1/10 scale but…
Arrma was launched in 2009, so 2019 means they’ve hit a milestone, and to celebrate the occasion, they have released a 10th Anniversary Limited Edition of the Outcast BLX. The truck has the same retro look, but features new 10th Anniversary graphics. Arrma didn’t stop there, however. The chassis has a special laser-etched design that…
Corally is probably best known for its high-end, high-performance and race-winning on-road rides, but some racers also know they offer a pretty dialed 1/8-scale buggy. What you might not realize is Corally has a line of 1/10-scale off-roaders made for bashing. It’s latest release is a brushless version of its Mammoth monster truck. This truck…
The Tamiya CC-01 is a popular platform that, over the years, the Japanese model company has used under a variety of bodies ranging from early Broncos to late model Toyota FJ Cruisers. The CC, which stands for Cross Country, is often referred to as a trail truck. The tub chassis features a 4-link rear suspension…
Traxxas wants you to keep your body beautiful. No, they don’t care what you eat or how much exercise you get. Well, maybe they do, but this is about new body reinforcements for the X-Maxx and E-Revo. It’s simple. If you bash like an animal, these molded “ballistic nylon” pieces will keep screws from pulling…
Portals are all the rage right now and for a few weeks, thanks to the teasers, we’ve known Axial was not about to be left out. The new Axial Capra features not only Currie F9 portal axles but an all-new transmission with dig for tight turning. By the way, the Capra name is reference to…
