What’s up drift peeps? Evol here with a midweek second look at a piece of kit that some of you may have overlooked. I know I did! So here is how it happened. When I see parts listed for the Overdose Vacula my eyes tend to glaze over as I daydream about having enough expendable income to drop such a [...]
Is RWD drifting here to stay? If the industry is any indication it is. It seems like every RC Drift company either already has one (a rear wheel drive) or is currently working on one. The idea of it is fantastic and watching videos of them in action is very compelling, but in practice it can be very difficult. So [...]
Ever leave your crawler/scaler sit for too long and come back to find semi permanent flat spots in your foams? Well a company that knows a thing or two about tire foams is Crawler Innovations. They have recently put out the Cell Block RC Crawler Stand to keep your tires up off of the ground during storage prolonging the life [...]
More scale drift track stuff? You’d think I would get sick of this stuff but I just cant get enough! Yeah Racing teased these 3D printed track barrier prototypes on their Facebook page last December and I’ve been waiting for them to come out ever since. It seems they are very close to coming to market as there have been [...]
It would seem that the trend in super high-end drift machines moving to more affordable versions is spreading. R31House’s GRK drift platform was one of the more expensive and rare drift chassis on the market. Now in cooperation with RC Mart, R31House is releasing the GRK Global chassis to be a little more friendly on the wallet. The 299 dollar [...]
When Vanquish Products released the licensed Currie Rockjock for the Axial SCX10 the promised the axle system would be totally modular allowing their customers to build the axle to suit their needs. It took a little while but the wider XR width axle tubes for the Currie RockJock have finally hit the market. The whole XR name came from the [...]
What’s up drifters? Evol here with another installment on my Scale Drift Track build. My drift club recently got asked to do a demo at a local shopping mall so my time table on putting together a lot of these goodies to create a scale drift course ended up getting very compressed. I had just enough time to get some [...]
Well the new is barely worn off of our review unit Yeti XL so we knew the aftermarket would not be far behind. Popular Axial upgrade artists Vanquish Products have been hard at work developing their new aluminum scale axle housing for the XL. These should be a nice bump in durability for the beast of a machine. Features: -Aluminum bearing retainer [...]
Fans of the popular 3 Racing D3 drift chassis can rejoice because an update to their beloved platform looms nearer to release. A few months ago 3 Racing teased some early renderings of the new chassis and it appeared to be rear motor and easily convertible to Rear Wheel Drive. During that time they have been sprinkling in little spy [...]
Sup drifters, Evol here with a quick weekend update. I’m busy running a demo for our drift club this weekend but these were too hot not to post. MST teased these tasty little morsels recently. They are so new I don’t even know what they are called yet, but man do they look good. They remind me of some vintage BBS [...]

Hey gang, Evol here for my latest bit of rambling related to the RC Drift scene. This edition of the Itch is going to be part rant and part public service announcement. Now don’t take me wrong here, I know RC is all about fun, I haven’t lost sight of that, but I’m also a scaler. I like scale crawlers, [...]
