When BigSquid approached me to the do their review of the Helion Animus I jumped at the chance, its not every day a new 18th scaler hits the market these days, nor is it every day when a big name like Gil Losi Jr introduces an entirely new product line. I’ve spent much of my career racing 18th scales for [...]
THE Losi 1/10 XXX-SCB (Short Course Buggy) RTR ReviewIntro- Yes, I have to admit I’m a biased reviewer on this one folks. When the original gold tubbed RC10 was released I always envisioned the buggy class morphing into something like the Losi XXX-SCB, but for 2 decades it went the way of the Associated B4 and Losi 22. So when [...]
So lets say your tired of all the ‘electric this, and lipo that’ and you want to get back to your basher roots. You want something loud, something big, and something that can take a beating.

Review by Brian.From the moment we received the new Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 in the office, it has caused a couple of arguments. On the box, it clearly states that it’s a 1:8 scale Monster [...]
From: Losi Direct Link: Micro Trail Trekker Review by: EvanLosi isn’t exactly new to the micro game. From their Micro-T, Micro SCT, Rally, and Micro Rock Crawler, Losi is at the forefront of the mainstream micro market (say that 5 times fast). Earlier this year, Losi released the Micro Trail Trekker, a 1/24th scale vehicle with the performance of a crawler mixed [...]

Traxxas Monster Jam Replica – Monster Mutt Review From: Traxxas Direct Link: Traxxas Monster Jam Replicas – Monster Mutt Review by Brian.When Traxxas announced the Monster Jam Replicas, there were quite a few reactions around the office.

From: Electrix RC Direct Link: Electrix Ruckus Review by BrianWhen we first heard about the Electrix brand, it was one of those situations where you knew there was only two possible outcomes. There have been a good handful of companies that have tried to put out a very economical and durable RC, and most seem to fail. Did Electrix pull off [...]
From: Losi Racing Direct Link: Losi TEN SCTE Review by CubbyWhat’s the fastest growing class here in the good ole’ U S of A? The 4wd short course class is of course! Sporting the realism of their full sized counterparts, and 4wd systems that make them easier to drive (and more fun to bash!), it’s no wonder this genre is blowing [...]
From: Traxxas Direct Link: Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo Review by Brian.While a lot of people call it the Mini E-Revo, the good people over at Traxxas will be quick to point out that there is nothing ‘mini’ about it. From it’s power and speed, to hop-ups and durability, the 1/16 E-Revo does everything big. How big? Well, lets dive into our review [...]
