Everything Axial is super hot in the scaler world and deservedly so, they look good and work well out on the trail. The latest machine from Axial? The Deadbolt. The Deadbolt uses the ever popular AX10 platform and has a body that is a bit reminiscent of an old Bronco II. Some of its features and specifications include- * Three battery configurations * [...]
For a long time THE Cub Reporter and I have been wanting to buy some tanks, hop them up, and do some serious bashing. The tanks had to be durable, go at least 20 mph, and be able to huck big ramps. Needless to say, we didn’t find any that would work for our demands. What do we do when we [...]
Carisma might not be available here in the states (yet!), but they sure have a cool looking bash line-up. Today we’ll show you what it looks like to pull a brand new Carisma GT16MT out of the box. The pictures below don’t really show the scale of the GT16MT but it is a big “mini”. The GT16MT dwarfs an Associated RC18T [...]
Small scale vehicles can make great bash machines, they are inexpensive, usually take a good beating, and can be driven almost anywhere. Today we’ll be showing you what it looks like to unbox a new ECX 1/18th Ruckus 4wd Monster Truck. It’s bigger brother is loads of fun to bash, we’ll see if the 18th scale version is just as, [...]
We’ve been working on the review for the ARRMA Raider BLX brushless buggy for weeks, today we want to bring you some unboxing photographs. We took a bunch of pictures while unboxing our review buggy to show you guys exactly what it looks like when you crack yours open. Our full review goes up Tuesday October 22, until then [...]
Vaterra has a small fleet of on-road cars but perhaps the one that has garnered the most attention is the 2012 CHP Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 police car. Also known as the Swift Justice car, it has gained attention from its incredible scale detail and working lights. Take a look at the pictures below to see what it looks like to pull [...]
Here you go guys, some unboxing pictures of the new Carisma GT10DT Desert Racer. We took lots of pictures while unboxing our test unit to show you exactly what it’s like to crack the box open. The GT10DT is somewhat smaller than a 10th scale buggy, the final two pictures show it sitting next to an Associated B4 to give you [...]
We recently received the new 1/10th scale 2WD buggy from Helion called the Criterion. We have already been banging on it for the review, as well as checking out the speeds under the radar gun since they have been claiming it’s one of the fastest RTR buggys on the market. For now, enjoy the unboxing photos. #gallery-35 { margin: auto; } #gallery-35 .gallery-item { float: [...]
The first generation of vehicles from ARRMA went over rather well. As a whole, they were good bash machines, so good that the Granite won our 2wd Monster Truck Shootout and our “Bash Vehicle of the Year” in 2012. The latest machines from ARRMA are the brushless powered BLX line-up. Look below to see what it looks like when you crack [...]
As you can see by the pictures, we are in the midst of reviewing our very first RC4WD truck. This particular truck is the Trail Finder 2 with Mojave body and so far we are very impressed. The Trail Finder 2 comes with perhaps the best packaging we’ve seen, they make a real presentation out of all the parts in [...]

Looks like a sweet truck but you have to wait and see how it performs.

You may remember a few months ago when we “unboxed” our review Vaterra Glamis Uno by throwing it Off The Roof of a house. Our Vaterra Glamis Fear Four Seat Buggy is not getting such a brutal introduction to the rc world. We took our time and delicately unboxed it so you can see exactly what comes in the package [...]
One of the most interesting vehicles to be announced lately has been the Kyosho Rage VE 4wd Buggy. Based on a tenth scale platform and featuring big tires and a brushless power-plant, the Rage VE seems aimed right at the heart of a weekend basher. We recently took some pictures of the Rage VE to show you what it looks like [...]

The first vehicle to come out of the Pro-Line compound is called the Pro-2 1:10th 2wd Short Course Truck Kit. Below you will find detailed unboxing pictures. The Pro-2 actually comes partially assembled, making it [...]
We recently posted an article about the new LEGO Technic 4×4 Crawler. It was part of a contest where people sent in their designs, and they would make a limited edition amount of whatever won. Well the 4×4 Crawler won, and we had to get our hands on it. It showed up in the mail, and we thought we’d do [...]
