The good folks at RC4WD have dropped a new Promotional Video for their beastly 1/14 6×6 Forge Hydraulic Dump Truck. Their new dump truck was designed for insane levels of scale realism and is loaded with real metal parts. Better still, it has a sturdy bed that tilts on your command. With European truck styling, and a powerful brushless hydraulic [...]
With these tires I fell in love at first sight. For comparison, with my wife I fell in love at about the one-hundred and first sight. While the latter admittedly was on a rather different level, that does in no way subtract from the fact that the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 2.2″ from RC4WD are the best looking 1.9″ [...]

We aren’t even out of January yet and RC4WD has already put out what will probably be the most interesting product release of the year for me, the RC4WD Intimidator Pulling Sled. It’s been 30 years since the legendary Hobbico MaxTrax Eliminator Pulling Sled was released and FINALLY r/c truck and tractor pullers have an option for getting into this niche [...]
The Pizza Planet Truck has had more then it’s fair share of screen time and has even become somewhat of an Easter Egg. This RC4WD Gelande II build comes right out of our very own Big Squid RC stable from Bill Stevens A.K.A the Wrench. When I first got into the crawler community Bills Pizza Plant truck was the first [...]
What’s up everyone, Jeremy here. So last week I was doing some shopping at RC4WD.com. Nothing big, just needed a new windshield for the farm truck build. As I was checking out a little box popped up saying for 5 dollars more I could get a mystery bag. Um, YES PLEASE!!! So, when I seen that beautiful RC4WD package on [...]
What’s going on everybody! Jeremy here, I found a nice little scale accessory from RC4WD the other day at my local hobby shop. It’s nothing crazy, but hey, in the scale world small details are everything. I’ve been looking for some scale tie-downs for my Tamiya Globliner or anything for that matter. After some time digging through the scale racks at [...]
Those of us with large collections of r/c’s all have a favorite rig, right? Mine would be my Blue Bomber. At some point I’ll do a full write-up on this monster, but for now I’ll give you the short of it. It’s a one-off prototype chassis that I rescued from the scrap heap a few years ago. It’s based on a Concussion [...]
Hey gang, how’s it going? ICYMI, earlier this week we posted our review of the RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR Black Rock Edition. It’s a cool little platform that you’re going to see me discuss a bit more in the near future. I’m gonna keep this week’s post really short and get to the good stuff. Here is video that [...]
The crew at RC4WD have been on a tear the last couple of years, releasing a variety of rigs to please scale off-roading enthusiasts. They recently announced a new series of four 1/18 Gelande II RTR Crawlers, and we’ve been giving the business to one of them in particular -the Black Rock Edition. What’s our verdict? Read on to find [...]

We are about to get busy on our full review, but we wanted to first show you what it looks like when you crack the box on [...]

I’ve been really wanting to talk about the RC4WD Marlin Crawler Trail Finder 2, but had to wait until after the shootout went live. I can now discuss it in full! The most impressive vehicle to me was actually the Marlin. No, it didn’t outperform many of the trucks it was doing battle with, but it managed to hang with ’em. [...]

One is not a true monster trucker until they experience the taste of burnt rubber, at least once, by way of cutting/shaving a set of tires. Monster truck tire cutting is an art that dates back to the late 80’s, but it came into vogue during the early 90’s when modern racing began. The then-standard 66″ flotation tires that companies like Goodyear [...]
