Look out racing world, Hot Bodies has the steering setup to get you through the chicane. Just announced are their two new servos that will be twisting tires before you can think about it. Just look at the specs: HB DSJ-1SS (67991) * Speed: 0.06sec/cm * Torque: 13kg/cm [...]
What do you do when your buggy wins the biggest race of the year and proves it’s worthy of making cash? You make a bigger and better truck out of it! Hot Bodies has presents the D8T Kit. Some features are a longer chassis, no E-Clips (Yeah!), new clunk fuel design that can get to [...]
Did ya know ROAR will crown at least 23 national champions this year? Holy cow, that’s probably a higher number than the reincarnations of the Horizon/Losi Mico-T, Mini-T, and Mini-LST combined! (And nearly as high as the number of hate mails I get each week) Remember how that el’ cheapo 8th scale buggy won the IFMAR worlds last year? Well, [...]
If RC drifting is your thing, check out these new Hot Bodies Cyclone-S Drift vehicles! You have a choice of a Toyota Trueno AE86 body, or a Mazda RX-7 FD3S. There are a ton of add on and hop-up parts as well like graphite, titanium drift springs, and more. So if you are [...]
As I sit here writing the last of this years Cub Reports, I can’t help but to wonder what lies ahead in 2009. Will we see any of the big name manufactures close doors due to the economy? Will the sport continue to trend toward the “basher” side of the product lines? Will the Dream Team at Kyosho put out a [...]
Now that everyone has recovered from their turkey induced coma, let’s get down to the nitty gritty- Tebo is signed up to the hilt with the K-crew. Ya, ya, I know you heard the news days (weeks?) ago, so it’s no huge surprise. What is a bit surprising is Tebo leaving his electrics at AE, having also signed up to exclusively [...]
Seems that I started a little firestorm last week with the announcement of my “Cubbies” awards. So to simplify it for those that went into full panic mode (self promotion mode?), here’s the low down. Instead of getting 100 emails with 100 different suggestions (usually the person writing said email) who the “man of the year” is, I’m throwing [...]

The kit comes with the HV 6.5 brushless motor, steel pintion gear, motor heat sink, two battery boxes, ESC cooling fan, motor cooling fan, antenna mount, hardware kit and instructions.

The folks over at Pro-Line Racing seem very happy about the results they had at the IFMAR 1:8 Off-Road World Championships! Pro-Line’s Revolver in M3 compound was the tire of choice and 8 out of 12 drivers in the finals were running them! The top 4 spots were won with Pro-Lines not to mention Hara [...]
So who’s the fastest rc racer on planet Earth right now? Well today after winning the 8th scale off road world championship, arguably it is Japans Atsushi Hara. This is quite shocking, and shocking for several reasons. Reason #1- Hara drives for HPI/Hot Bodies. While HPI has always made awesome cars and trucks, they aren’t known for being a tour de [...]
Another week, another Cub Report- here’s all you really need to know about what went down in the rc universe last week. It’s been years since the revolutionary Traxxas T-Maxx came out. Since then, most companies have jumped on the bandwagon and produced their versions of the platform. The HPI Savage was the first, and probably toughest competitor in the category. [...]
In a week that featured the #22 of Chad Reed winning his second AMA Supercross title, and the beautiful filly Eight Belles giving her life for the run to the roses, it’s been awfully dead in the rc world. Some news was made last week when Trinity announced that Ed Bridges of the famed EB Mods had come on board. Ed [...]
As I sit here watching “Giant Squid: Caught on Camera” on the Discovery Hi-Def channel, I can’t help but to reflect on just how far BigSquidRC has come in the last 12 months. This site has come from a little known basher site, to one that now gets more hits than most of the mainstream rc magazines sites get. That’s [...]
After popping a fresh bottle of Dom Perignon 99′, I sat down to realize that few things in life are appreciated as much as they should be. I appreciate that in the last few weeks there were actually some really cool products introduced to the rc world, because this week nothing of real note was shown. I’d guess the “biggest” [...]
If you are into on-road, then you probably have a Hot Bodies Cyclone 12 in your future. Hot Bodies has really been doing well in the on-road stuff lately, and I’m sure this 1/12th scale will start making a name for itself soon! Check the New Product Forum for details and press release.
