Wasting no time, FastEddy Bearings lives up to its name and already has a bearing kit for the still very new Axial Capra. Ready to take on the elements, 30 rubber-sealed bearings are included in the kit. The FastEddy Bearings rubber-sealed bearings are described as a high-quality steel/chrome bearing with two rubber seals. FastEddy adds…
Ah, the good old days. If you look back fondly on those “good old days” of RC, you’re probably into vintage racing or, at least, collecting some old school RC. A frequent choice is the Team Associated RC10T2. A lot of folks are scooping these up for their vintage racing fleet or collection, but despite…
I have been to many tracks over the last 30+ years. While I no longer live in New England, I was lucky to, for years, have lived within easy driving distance of two of the best hobby stores and tracks in the business. One is RC Madness in Enfield, CT and the other is RC…
As JConcepts points out, it’s pretty common to leave an off-road session with some of the off-road on your rig. Their tote bags makes it a lot easier and cleaner to move your truck from place to place. The drawstring bag has a handy base design and is made from a durable material. More than…
As Huey Lewis championed, “It’s hip to be square.” Well, it is if you’re a Chevy fan. And, if you are, you’ll love JConcepts’ latest release–the 1982 GMC K10 body for the Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo. It’s a spot-on clear Lexan replica of one of the most popular truck body styles ever produced. The Chevy square body…
Rock racing is pretty brutal. In fact, it’s probably the single biggest test of durability in RC that actually still counts as racing. To help survive this level of torture, RPM has a new front bumper and skid plate for the Losi Rock Rey. These aren’t just stock parts molded in RPM’s proprietary nylon. These…
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…
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…
From wheel spinnin’ drag racing to dirt slingin’ dirt oval, the ol’ Traxxas Slash is getting used for a lot more than backyard bashing and off-road racing these days. The latest twist on the Slash short course truck to grab our attention is a street stock body from Shark RC Bodies called the Joker. The…
The JConcepts Finnisher body is a direct fit for the Team Associated T6.1 and YZ2-T stadium trucks and even features body-mount dimple locations for an easy fit. The slight cab forward and raked windshield are accompanied by a revised front hood scoop. The front chin spoiler, headlight area and grill are designed to help reduce…
I am continually amazed at the variety we get to enjoy in this hobby. And, to my further amazement it just keeps getting better. A case in point would be these new officially licensed Tuff T21 1.9 wheels from RC4WD. The Tuff T21 wheels are CNC-machined billet aluminum and feature an internal beadlock design. Only…
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…
Usually we look to shed weight for increased performance, but it’s a little different when it comes to RC crawlers. Here, it’s not necessarily how much weight is on the rig, but where that weight is located (hint: the lower the better). While builders have been adding weight since the first custom crawlers hit the…
The RS Pro Black Edition utilizes hardware and software advances recently developed for Tekin’s latest speed control lineup.
