10 Awesome RC Investments That Are Worth Every Penny
1. AIR COMPRESSOR Cleaning RC cars isn’t fun, so who wouldn’t love a tool that makes a tiresome and messy job substantially easier and faster? Air compressors can be expensive, but they can be had on the cheap (comparably) at discount tool stores such as Harbor Freight. The good news here is that the cheap ones […]
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. […]
Traxxas EZ-Peak 5 Amp NiMH-NiCd-USB Charger Review

Usually I have some pretty long rants, I mean, Commentary articles. This one, I’m thinking, is going to be short and sweet. Let’s see how it goes. The subject of certain T-shirts being worn at the track has bothered me for a long time. What T-shirts? Is someone wearing something offensive? Not really. At least […]

LRP to Open LRP America
This may be the least surprising breakup in the history of breakups. It has been announced that Team Associated will no longer distribute (selling and servicing) LRP products in North America as it has for the past 18 years. Team Associated–owned by Thunder Tiger of Taiwan since 2005–and LRP of Germany have earned numerous IFMAR World […]
Hitec X1-200 Touch Charger
Wow. Hitec is keeping busy. Their latest release is another touchscreen charger. This one, the X1-200, sounds like a spy plane or maybe a sports car from Jaguar, but it’s really a well-equipped DC charger than can charge up to a 12 amp rate. Of course, it can charge all the common cell chemistries and […]
LaTrax Rally — Powered by Traxxas
On June 25, RC Truck Stop was the first to break the news that Traxxas was relaunching the LaTrax brand from the ’70s and early ’80s. LaTrax is a more entry-level brand that will offer lower price points, simpler operation and features than typical Traxxas models. That said, the LaTrax brand is fully supported by […]

The X1 can charge at up to 7 amps and is compatible with […]
PROTOform Better Edge System Sanding Drum
Why did it take so long for someone to come out with this? Kudos to PROTOform for finally thinking this one up. Like thousands of you out there, we use a sanding drum to clean up our wheel wells. We’ve doing this for, well, ever. The thing is we use a sanding drum that is […]
ProTek R/C Universal Radio Case Review
You probably (i.e., hopefully) don’t need to be told that electronics such as an RC transmitter don’t take kindly to abuse (e.g., getting dropped or rained on), but the vast majority of people don’t really take care of their RC radios. Whether it’s a bare bones unit or a computerized pro model, you need to […]
