ST Racing Concepts thinks they can do the drive shaft better
I like me some universal/cv driveshafts. They’re usually super smooth and can take a beating more than your typical dog bone. On that note ST Racing Concepts is preparing a new line of heat treated, carbon steel universal kits that are compatible with Team Associated SC10 and RC10T4 as well as the HPI Blitz and OFNA Hyper 10SC. Their new [...]

Weekend bashing wrapup & broken parts tally
Sunday was a good day for bashing. I had a family gathering and decided to take a couple r/c trucks along for the fun. My choices were my Losi Highroller and DuraTrax Evader DT. My brother brought his Traxxas Stampede as well. It was a great time of curb hopping, burnouts, bootlegger turns, and donuts. I was having so much [...]
R/C Around the Web - There's only one way this weekend's pla…
Photo of the Week:by Rafael Moyano Another weekend, another opportunity for bashing. As expected, last weekend’s plans did fall through, no ice fishing, no bashing on a frozen lake. This weekend is going to be a nice one with a family gathering for my great-grandmother’s 90-something birthday. A couple of my R/Cs are going with me (probably the Losi Highroller and [...]

Axial budget 2.4 GHz radio – AX-2
Axial really wants the budget bashers to open up their wallets today. Their new, low-cost, 2.4, 2-channel radio is about as bare bones as you can get. The AX-2 features throttle and steering trims, plus servo reversing. And… a wheel for steering… and a trigger for throttle control… oh and there’s an on/off switch too! Ok, so it doesn’t really have [...]
