First announced several months ago, we were very intrigued when we saw Pro-Line’s MX43 Tires & Impulse Pro-Loc Wheels for the Traxxas X-Maxx. Not only were they specifically designed to reduce tire ballooning, but they also use a new style of bead to totally eliminate tires coming off the wheel. After giving them a severe workout during our Review Process, [...]

Have you ever wanted a radio with high-end features that didn’t come with a high-end price? That is exactly what the Spektrum DX5R is slated to do.

A few weeks ago when wrapped up Our Review of the Traxxas Ford GT, we were blown away with its capabilities in stock form. However, we are a power hungry bunch of maniacs, so it was only logical that we drop in some serious power via a brushless motor and new ESC. To pump up the power in our Ford GT, [...]
