Run for it Marty! I think you know where I’m going with this one. In 1985 Back to the Future was released and we know the DeLorean might as well play a leading role in the movie. But there is another vehicle in the first film that has maybe two minutes of screen time but yet still became a recognizable movie [...]
What’s going on everybody! Jeremy here, I found a nice little scale accessory from RC4WD the other day at my local hobby shop. It’s nothing crazy, but hey, in the scale world small details are everything. I’ve been looking for some scale tie-downs for my Tamiya Globliner or anything for that matter. After some time digging through the scale racks at [...]
RC4WD has an impressive line of RTRs, kits and accessories; there is no doubt about that. When we got the chance to get our tentacles on the RC4WD Defender D110 RTR and we jumped on it! What really interested me is the long wheel base and obviously the scale factor. So, what makes the D110 different from other Defenders? Only [...]
Picking the right time of day to go out trailing or crawling can impact your experience in multiple ways. I for one prefer going early in the morning. The way I see it is that it’s no different than someone waking up at four in the morning to go hunting or fishing but instead of grabbing a tacklebox or rifle [...]
Race day brings out so many emotions in everybody. Excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, joy and even sadness. It’s exciting to see how your car will handle after weeks of preparation and tuning. Nervousness of the unknown, whether it be how you’re going to place, will your car make it through the race, or will you have a mechanical failure. Anxiously waiting [...]
What’s going on everybody? Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend, I know I did! Whenever I have longer than normal time off the gears in my head usually start turning. This past holiday weekend was no different. I worked out a deal for a RC4WD Trail Finder 2 that has the Blazer body. If any of you follow my [...]
It’s time to unbox the new Force RC 1:10 Hammer Jaw Rock Bouncer. Force RC is definitely giving a new meaning to “Ballin’ on a Budget” with a affordable RTR at $189.99. For anyone who is looking to get into the hobby and doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, The Force RC Hammer Jaw is a great option. [...]
This is what Chevy fans have been waiting for, the Axial SCX10 II 1969 Chevrolet Blazer. Hitting a scale home run with the beautifully detailed 1969 Chevrolet Blazer body. Not only does the 1969 Blazer look fantastic but preforms like the find tuned machine it was meant to be. We put the Axial 1969 Blazer through tough and extreme punishment. [...]
NEW TOY! We were able to acquire The RC4WD 1:10 RTR Defender D110. If Indiana Jones was in the market for a scale rig, my money says he would pick up the RC4WD Defender D110. The box art alone makes you want to go on an adventure. We are currently finishing up a full review and running video, so for [...]
In the world of on-road RC racing the VTA class is definitely one of my favorites. The vehicles used for the VTA class remind me a lot of old school NASCAR’s. Nowadays if you see a Nascar without the stickers on it, it would be hard to tell what model it is. But back in the day there was no [...]
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? The Batmobile is the most iconic superhero vehicle on the planet. The 1966 Batmobile really started it all. Fast forward to 1989, which in my opinion, is the best looking Batmobile ever made, the Michael Keaton Batmobile. Next, in 1995 we had the Val Kilmer Batman Forever Batmobile. The [...]
If it says RC4WD on the package you know you’re getting a quality product! RC4WD hooked us up with a set of Trail Rider 1.9 off-road scale X2SS compound tires and a set of Spectre 1.9 Beadlock wheels. We all know anything for the RC4WD camp looks great but how does it handle on the trail? Price: Trail Rider 1.9 off-road scale [...]
Last Sunday I attended a G6 event that the Martucky Rc crew put on in Marseilles Illinois. I have done competitions before but I have to say, G6 comps are my favorite. Unlike regular crawler comps, a G6 is more spread out, more like a trail run. The boys from the Martucky crew did a fantastic job setting up the [...]
Anytime I do research on buying a new rig I always go to YouTube and watch some videos of them in action. Pictures are great and all but to get a true sense of how the vehicle will actually handle you have to see a video. Not to mention, it’s a great bathroom past time. When I am filming for [...]
I always like to see when people mirror their 1:10 vehicles to look like their 1.1 vehicles. This Everybody’s Scalin’ Spotlight is all about that. Straight out of Plano Texas, Lane Muropa has achieved the scale mirror trick with his Volkswagen Beetle. Whenever I see an old Beetle or Punch Buggie I always think of Herbie the Love Bug. But [...]
