For me, the HPI Savage XS Flux has been the most anticipated new release of 2011. If you’ve read anything I’ve written this year, the XS Flux has almost always been a topic, if even for just a moment. I have been a bigger hype machine for this truck than Rex Ryan has been for his New York [...]
THE ARRMA Raider RTR Buggy ReviewCubby recently posted our ARRMA Fury review so you had to know the official ARRMA Raider review was just around the corner right? So how’s the Raider as a 1/10th scale buggy? How does it compare to the Fury? Is ARRMA RC on a roll? Keep reading to find out…
For most of us, winter puts a serious damper on most of our RC driving. If you’re like me, an indoor track is hours away, and your fingers go numb five minutes after you start a bash session outside. While I use winter as an opportunity to clean/maintain/fix all of my vehicles that took a serious beating through [...]
THE ECX Torment 2.4 Ghz RTR ReviewBigSquidRC is a site aimed right at the bashers of the world. In the bashing realm being tough and affordable are of the utmost importance. ECX (formerly known as Electrix) is a brand targeted at the beginner and the basher market. Their latest offering, the Torment, is a 2wd short course truck that should [...]
THE ARRMA Fury RTR Short Course Truck Review Months and months ago when I saw the first pictures of the ARRMA Raider buggy all I could do was think about who I had to bribe to get my hands on one of their products. It’s not very often when a new company pops up with a line of cars/trucks, and muchhhhh [...]
DuraTrax DXR 500 Motorcycle Review
Forget The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and all the other crap you’ve seen in the movies… Formula Drift is the real deal when it comes to drifting. Since most of us don’t have the skills, sponsors, or wallet to compete in the Formula Drift series, we’re left to our own devices when we feel the need [...]
THE Futaba 3PRKA FHSS 2.4 GHz Radio ReviewWe live in an RTR world- lay down some cash and start driving an hour later. RTR’s are great and have certainly taken our hobby to entirely different level, but… they are typically loaded with junk electronics. Futaba thinks they have the answer for this problem- an affordable yet quality replacement for your [...]
Redcat Shredder SC 1:6 Scale Short Course ReviewUsually when you hear the words Redcat and RC in the same sentence your initial reaction is to cringe. They just don’t have the best reputation out there right now. The products are usually pretty low priced, and the scales are always non-standard. Hobby shops rarely carry their products or parts, and [...]
It’s shootout time! That’s right.. the story we have been teasing you with for a couple of weeks now is finally here! This time around we decided to test three RTR 4X4 Short Course Trucks! Sure you can read reviews, but nothing tells it like it is till you compare them head to head! In our shootout we feature the [...]
Silverlit 3D Twister ReviewSo a perk of owning a major RC news site is I get to take home the occasional vehicle for the kids to check out and bash with as well. I would guess they have played with or driven dozens and dozens of rc vehicles over the past years. A few weeks ago there was an ad [...]
Speed Passion RS2 ReviewJust how much do you think a ready-to-run brushless 10th scale truck that has a 2.4 GHz radio should cost? Well Speed Passion thinks it should be $159, a LOT less than many of the other manufactures out there. The Traxxas Rustler VXL goes for around $320, and the Associated brushless T4.1 costs around $250. Is the [...]
Intro- Who the heck is Electrix and why do they deserve your money? Well, Electrix is Horizons entry level line-up of rc cars, and by entry level I mean you can walk out the door with the Boost completely ready to roll for under $140. But is it worth the cash? Lets jump right in to the worlds most kick [...]
Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk XXT ReviewAfter witnessing first hand Thunder Tigers impressive and aggressive work on the MT4-G3 Monster Truck, we just had to get our hands on some of their other vehicles and put them to the test. Would the Sparrowhawk XXT live up to it’s big brothers reputation? Would it be tougher than nails and have us all [...]
I blame Jeff for posting the first sneak peak pictures of the *UPDATED* HPI e-Firestorm Flux from RCX and sparking my need to get one. The Firestorm Flux shown at RCX wasn’t a completely new stadium truck, but it did have a ton of new features like waterproof electronics, an updated motor and ESC, 2.4GHz radio system, and two [...]
