MST: New RMX-D and Updated XXX-D Chassis
MST (Max Speed Technology) is no stranger to keeping things fresh – their onslaught of chassis continues with teasers for the all new RMX-D. This chassis sports a dual belt drive and gear driveshaft, similar to the d-like Sound Meister (essentially a badge engineered Team Magic E4D). It’s sure to be a hit with RWD drifters as it sports this [...]

I currently run a wildly modified countersteer (CS) Street Jam OTA-R31, have tinkered with RWD and can throw down 50:50 after [...]

Big Squid RC Live! Show #21
It’s that time again for all the kind of stuff we usually do. Which is nothing of any importance. Tonight, we’ll be talking about all kinds of rc type stuff and probably making fun of Adam’s hair. While all that is going on I’ll probably be watching tv in the background and not paying attention to anything Brian is saying. [...]

Although not huge by any means but what an awesome concept for the RC/Cold Beverage lover in all of us? Stats say the RC COOLER will hold a dozen cans or bottles plus ice, but I am thinking probably [...]
