Ok, check these out! New from Team Checkpoint are these 7.4v 4800mAh Saddle Pack LiPo Battries!

Cool! The full press release will be [...]

Traxxas Much like the paranoid survivalists that emptied out every supermarket in the country of 50 lbs bags of rice, rc’ers are now beginning to stockpile nitro fuel. Rumors have been floating for months about no more 30% being produced and prices doubling by Christmas. The best part is, ask 10 guys that work in the rc fuel industry, and you’ll [...]

Wow.. never would of seen this coming! The rules for the RC Pro Series are now allowing Nitro VS Electric! Talk about wars and debates! Imagine a nitro truck up against a brushless LiPo truck!

Shall I jump right into the good stuff here? Of course! Biggest disappointment of the week? Easily has to go to Kyosho after finding out that their “AKA Brand- World Class Products by World Champions” isn’t going to be some esoteric line-up of cars. Instead, AKA’s first release is 8th scale dirt tires. Yes, 8th scale dirt is the single hottest [...]

I’ll get right down to the most important thing that happened this week in rc. Brian, CEO/CFO/C-Everything-O at BigSquidRC showed that not only does he have mad skillz on an rc drag track, but showed mad crawling skillz as well by winning his first crawling event over the weekend. Crawling world watch out!! Brian likes to get into something new and [...]
I’m still down here at the Snowbird Nationals ,my cell phone keeps going off every 3.259 minutes.It must be BigSquid calling, urging me to get out of this wonderfully heated outdoor pool and submit my daily report. I must admit- the reasons are few to pluck myself from this [...]

It has a impact resistant hard case with ‘cell shapes’ molded into the bottom that can key into those chassis that [...]
Just wanted to post a rumor I have been hearing that the ROAR organization is just a few days away from legalizing Li-Po’s in their races with the requirement that the packs be sealed in some sort of hard case. So for all you die-hard racing nuts, it looks like you might finally get to experience what [...]
Week two in 08′ has flown by. Product wise, MaxAmps, trying to make good on their vow to dominate in 08′, introduced another product- some hard case saddle pack li-po’s. The jury is still out on encasing li-po’s in a hard pack. On one hand, protecting them is very important. On the other, li-po’s don’t like being contained in essentially, a warming blanket. Before [...]
