It was time to break open the new Axial SCX10 Deadbolt RTR! People were such big fans of the Deadbolt body on the AX10, Axial decided to bring the scale look to the SCX10 as well! The green is REALLY green. When we first saw the parts tree, we thought.. ‘Hey! This was supposed to be a RTR!’ But it’s [...]
Our full review of the ECX Torment 4wd SCT comes up later this week so it’s time for us to post the unboxing pictures. Take a look at the pictures below to see exactly what it looks like to crack the box open on a brand new Torment 4wd. After we opened the box, we noticed that everything you need to [...]
Part 1 of the Mega Multirotor build can be found Right Here. The frames are built, and now it is time to get the right motors and speed controllers for each of our three multirotor setups. Don’t be afraid, with every kit/frame there is available for purchase there are always suggested motor and speed controller combos that go well with that [...]
Just this past week HPI Racing released another Micro RS4, this time the black Mustang of Vaughn Gittin, Jr. This kit, like its Sprint2 brother, has both soft and drift tires in the box, and I cannot wait to test my hand in drifting! I hope to have some video up soon, but for now here are some nice unboxing images! More information on the Micro [...]
Team Durango, the relatively young company known for their high end race machines, recently announced their latest weapon for the 2wd buggy class, the DEX210v2. We recently got one in our hands, as we cracked it open we took pictures to show you what it looks like inside the box. The 210v2 is a kit, so inside you’ll find multiple [...]
Just got our hands on the Ares Exera 130 CX. This heli claims to be their most advanced and easiest to fly 4-Channel helicopter yet, and we are looking forward to putting it to the test. For now, enjoy the unboxing photos. More information on the Exera 130CX can be found on the Ares Website. #gallery-25 { margin: auto; } #gallery-25 .gallery-item { float: [...]
Congratulations to the Losi 5IVE-T for playing some awesome defense and pulling off the win in our 2014 March Bash-ness Finals. Every year we are surprised by the way our readers vote, and this year was no exception. The last 3 rounds were insanely close. Closer than we have ever had. Even the finals, the Losi 5IVE-T had 52% of [...]
Now these past few weeks I’ve been promising a build here on Raging Rotors, and yes I may be a bit overdue. Yet I will not give you one, not two, but THREE build projects in one series. I have gone so crazy to the point where I picked up enough gear to discuss three builds at the same time! [...]
[Update: This poll, and March Bash-ness 2014, is over. Check back soon for the crowning of the March Bash-ness 2014 Champion!] And here we are. The final round of March Bash-ness 2014! This year’s polling saw some big surprises. Traxxas didn’t make the final round, despite being the most nominated company. Some of the top favorites were knocked out early on. [...]
Axial’s latest SCX10 has hit the Big Squid offices, the RTR Jeep Wrangler Unlimited C/R Edition. You can checkout the shots below to see what lies underneath when you dig into the box. Two things really jumped out at us: – The gigantic tires. This is the first rig to include Axial’s new ultra scale 1.9 BF Goodrich KRAWLER T/A’s (in [...]
The Axial SCX10 is a very popular truck; probably the most popular scaling rig of all time. It’s available in many different “flavors” and at press time there are currently six versions on the market. The differences aren’t all cosmetic as some have different wheelbases, tires, lights, etc. It can make a newbie’s head spin. Here’s a handy guide to [...]
[Update: Polls are closed. We’re going to take the weekend off and spend that time carefully reviewing the final results, after some earlier poll spamming shenanigans. Stay tuned to the front page for the Championship round and our big March Bash-ness give away entry information. Monday is the day that the end begins.] This is it. The Dance is almost over. [...]
Welcome to Part 2 of Round 2. This last bit of voting determines our Final [less than five but more than three]. Losi has two hats in the ring, but one is going home. Will it be their super tough Ten-SCTE or super big 5ive-T? HPI’s Savage Flux HP is taking on Traxxas’ Stampede 4×4. Both great trucks in their [...]
Team Durango, once a tiny, relatively unknown race oriented company, has become mainstream since being distributed by Great Planes. Part of going mainstream in rc is developing a wider product base. While Durango was well known for their uber off-roaders, they never offered anything for the on-road crowd. Several months ago Durango started teasing a new high-end touring car. That car, [...]
One of the cool things about Axial Recon G6 competition is that each event encourages local club participation by way of driver challenges. A G6 driver’s challenge can consist of almost anything; it may be as simple as a tough obstacle or something as crazy as building a raft to float their rig down a creek. I remember when I [...]
