Evan's 5 Minutes...on being part of the BSRC Crew...and othe…
Two weeks ago, Brian issued an open call for new BSRC writers/team members. Just as he stated, things have gotten insanely busy around here, and things will only get…more insane.

Venom Airsoft Batteries…for RC?
I don’t know the first thing about Airsoft. Real guns, sure. Not Airsoft. I was once shot in the @$$ with an Airsoft gun before a paintball game though. It sucked. I do know some RC though, and Venom does, too. They also know batteries. Venom has some NiMH and Lipo battery [...]

Team Associated SC10 4×4 Aluminum Wheel Hexes
Team Associated has some new aluminum wheel hexes for their SC10 4×4. These are pretty awesome, as the hex adaptors and drive pins are secured with an M3 set screw! I wish some other companies got on board with this. I know some have, but others haven’t. They are a cool blue color, and should add [...]
Evan's 5 Minutes...on JConcepts Lowered Body Mount Kit for t…
In the beginning of May, Brian posted his review on the Traxxas Stampede 4×4. We actually have a couple of these trucks floating around the office and they really are a great vehicle.
