As far as plans go, mine was as simple as they come. Even so, it failed miserably when faced with reality. It was like this: 1) Buy TRX-4 kit and 2021 Ford Bronco body, 2) build and paint TRX-4 kit and Bronco body, 3) drive and enjoy TRX-4, 4) upgrade and do pre and post comparisons one thing at a [...]
Any good project starts with a little bit of dreaming. That’s the easy part. After dreaming comes pondering, then calculating and compromising runs in parallell for a while, eventually reaching the decision point side by side and slightly irritated with each other. Both have to be involved, neither can win. Decision point is where it all turns around, but this time [...]
Check out that 4X4! When RC4WD anounced the 1987 Toyota XtraCab hard body, with what I think is the best advertising video ever made, we had to make our own Marty McFly truck. When we received our XtraCab body from RC4WD I was still in a sling recovering from shoulder surgery, so I knew I we were going to need [...]
What is going on everyone, Jeremy here and do we have something wicked to share with you. Team Garage Hack has hooked us up with some of their goodies, one of them being the carbon fiber chassis rails for the Axial SCX24. Unlike a few of my buddies I have not dove into the 1:24 side of the pool, other [...]
Hello all you out there in Internet land. Jeremy here, and I have some updates on a few of the servos Hitec sent us to get some of our projects turning, literally because that is what servos do lol. All jokes aside I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the HSB-9381TH Brushless that we put in our Gmade Buffalo. [...]
What is going on everybody Jeremy here and project RC4WD 1987 Toyota extra cab body set or as we are calling it, The McFlyota has begun! Technically this will be the second Marty McFly truck I have done. The first one was a lexan body from Pro-Line and it didn’t turn out half bad. Now that RC4WD has released a [...]
As the scale market just continues to explode, there are a lot of people looking to add more and more accessories to their scale vehicles. One of the more popular is the RC4WD Winch. We have been hearing a lot of people are unsure about wiring it up, and what it takes, so here is a little ‘how to’ [...]
What’s up Squid Nation! So currently I have been working on the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 Toyota 4Runner build. And I have to say this is starting to be one of my favorite builds. There is so much scale detail on the 4Runner body that it will definitely get you your scale fix. As for the chassis build, RC4WD did an [...]
When we first saw the Satin Black Chrome Upgrades for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer, we were blown away with how cool they looked. Since then we’ve been able to lay our diff-grease stained hands on a full set of satin black parts for our in-house UDR to check out how easy they are to install, plus how it changes [...]
We have been posting blurbs about the new E-Revo for a week or so now, but the official news and specs are finally available. The E-Revo became a dominant force in the rc monster truck realm, and the latest version is looking like it may continue that streak. We were originally calling it the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 but it looks [...]
Just putting the finishing touches on our review of the Cross RC Demon SG4, so we thought you may like to see some of the photos we took during the build process. It wasn’t a quick build as it is a full kit, but it went pretty smooth for the most part. Here is an excerpt from the review talking [...]
Have you seen our review of the body-less Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0? In case you have not, we tested the Traxxas with stock wheels & tires, plus we popped on a Traxxas Ford GT body. However, the real beauty of that car is that it doesn’t come with a body, thus saving you the cash to buy the exact body style [...]
The next mod in our Hopping Up The RC4WD TF2 LWB series is great for new hobbyists. For this installment we decided to install a new Roll Bar to the bed of our test truck. Adding a roll bar can accomplish several things on a trail rig. It can help increase scale realism, it gives you a place to mount [...]
Easily one of the biggest changes you can make to any vehicle is new wheels and tires. In our upgrade series for the RC4WD TF2 LWB we decided to switch out the stock kicks for high-end upgrades. As we are keeping our TF2 a 1.55 machine, we went with Ballistic Offroad Anvil 1.55″ Beadlock Wheels and Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC [...]
With more people jumping into the scale crawling world every day, we have decided to do a series of hop-up articles for new people to the genre. We are taking a very popular starter truck, an RC4WD Trail Finder 2 LWB RTR, and making some easy mods. These will be mods that are common for the scale scene and are [...]
