Whats up gang, Evol here with my latest musings on RC Drift on the Big Squid of RC. So I know a lot of you look at RC drift and go, “man it looks cool, but I don’t wanna drop the cash to get into it”, or maybe its “My wife will kill me if I buy ANOTHER RC car” I [...]
What’s up gang, Evol here. Finally got my hands on the new Sakura D4. Thought I might show you guys some initial images and early thoughts of this highly anticipated drifter. Early observations are that while the box denotes both AWD and RWD versions all the parts needed to build either are not included. This feels like something that may [...]
Well its happened. The stars have aligned and I acknowledge beyond all doubt the RWD drift is here to stay. It’s easy to dismiss early signs of a shift in a movement when scrappy young companies like Max Speed Technology litter the ground with new RWD kits like heads lopped off in a Game of Thrones episode. Easy to dismiss [...]

Hot off the internets Max Speed Technology just announced this little gem. The CMX scaler. I’ve been waiting to see who would come along and crash the scaler party and it looks like MST is wading into those waters. Will MST be able to penetrate in such an Axial dominated segment? I think if anyone can pull it off it [...]
The Yeah Racing Shock Gear aluminum dampers are a low cost suspension tuning set for your 1/10th scale drifter or touring car. Low cost doesn’t mean low quality however. Just looking at the packaging you can tell that they mean business. This sub 30 dollar set of shocks includes four anodized threaded aluminum dampers, five sets of springs in different [...]

The Wraith Spawn represents the newest generation of the truck featuring all the latest refinements and tweaks Axial has implemented over the years. This volume [...]
So if you keep up on RC Drift at all you see some strange stuff floating around the internets. People doing all sorts of weird things that they swear is the hot setup. Even in the racing world every club has a mad scientist who is always doing something a little weird just to keep themselves interested. This thing that [...]
This year marks the 10 year anniversary for Axial Racing and with Axialfest looming in the near future as a celebration for all things Axial we thought why not celebrate the scale movement that this company all but created with a special Wraith Spawn build. We aren’t just going to build up the vanilla truck and tell you about it. (We [...]
