Another iHobby Expo has come and gone, and I was lucky enough to attend one industry day, and one consumer day. So here’s the scoop from the show. The biggest news? Ever heard of Zippy packs? Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t, but to boil it down for those that have not, Zippy/HobbyCity battery packs might very well mark a big [...]
As we all get back to the office, and try to recover from the recent iHobby Expo 2009, I thought I would take a moment and post up some more pictures. We’ll have a huge write up coming in the next few days, but wanted to keep the pictures coming! Pro Driver Tim Mohr walks the track as he [...]
For those of you who haven’t made it out to the International iHobby Expo this weekend, Sunday is the last day! Today was the first day it was open to the public, and the crowds were insane! The place was crazy, and with our demo’s happening throughout the day, it was tough to grab pictures, so I’m just posting a [...]

So, stopped by the Traxxas booth early day 1 to present them with an official Basher Approved Award for the Traxxas Slash. Without a doubt the Traxxas Slash is deserving of one of the highest RC awards right now. It’s cheap, it’s fun, and it takes a beating like nothing else! Peter Vieira did the accepting [...]

News on several new “minis” has broken as of late, is there really any interest left in the small scale trucks? Horizon has released info on two very interesting models, first the 1/24th scale Micro Rock Crawler, and secondly, the 1/18th Mini Desert Buggy. The Micro Crawler may just be a bit too micro, I mean, just how many core [...]
Geezus have things been boring in the industry. Come on you guys, get to making some news out there or I’m really going to have start making things up! LOL It’s about that time, the time of the year in the temperate climates to make the switch from racing nitro 8th scale off road to running indoors on carpet. The [...]
I don’t buy the rc mags. Am I cheap? Maybe so, but normally I fill up on mags for free at trade shows and races. Today, a good friend of mine told me “You gotta see the new issue of RC Driver!”, so off I went looking for it. RC Driver had been pulled off the shelves of my local [...]
