The Axial AX10 Ridgecrest ReviewThe all new Ax10 Ridgecrest is Axial’s latest truck to enter the crawler/scale scene. When you first look at the truck it seems to be an Ax10 with a new body, but look closer and you’ll find it has an all new chassis with scaled down Dana 60 axles (also used on the Wraith). The truck [...]
The MaxAmps Low Voltage Alarm ReviewI’m sure all of us have ruined at least one LiPo battery pack by running it way below the cut off voltage. You are out there bashing with friends, not paying attention, and before you know it, your vehicle comes to a halt. Another situation, though not as bad.. you bring it in to the [...]
The HobbyKing Turnigy Nano-Tech 2S 65C 6000 Mah Hard Case Lipo Battery ReviewIt seems there are a lot of you guys out there wanting to see us review one of the higher “C” Turnigy Nano packs, so here you go. Do they put a crushing on the discharger? Do they vault your truck well past the landing area of every [...]
The Duratrax VW Baja Bug ReviewAt a visit to Hobbico headquarters several months ago, I got a sneak peak of what some of their upcoming lineup was going to be. I got to see the ARRMA brand, the new Evader Brushless, and finally the VW Baja Bug. Everything I saw had a unique quality that made it special, and for [...]
The Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger ReviewThe moment we saw the Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger, our gut reaction was that this might be pretty cool. A mini monster truck based on the 1/16 scale E-Revo platform would be fun to bash with. Then we read further and saw that it was shipping as a 2wd vehicle, and you could ‘upgrade’ to [...]
THE Viper Copperhead and VX4.39 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewA few weeks ago we reviewed the latest 550 brushless system from Viper, this week we’ll be taking a look at it’s slightly smaller brother, a Viper intended for your 2wd tenth scale SCT. The Viper Copperhead speedo and VX4.39 motor system are an affordable option for your 2wd SCT, how [...]
The Duratrax Multi-Driver ReviewFrom the moment we got the official press release, several people around the office claimed this was a must have tool! We finally got ours in and have been putting them to the test. Is the Multi-Driver everything we wished for? Is it the last tool you will ever buy? Keep reading for our thoughts and experiences…
The Traxxas EZ-Peak Charger ReviewWe recently had a chance to put the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus Lipo Charger to the test. We also had a chance to test the Traxxas 2 & 3 Cell Lipo Charger. If you are looking for a LiPo Charger, or just a Traxxas Fan who feels more comfortable when everything you use is from the same [...]

So if you happen to miss a review recently, make sure you head over and get caught up! From mini to 5th scale, supercars, batteries, chargers and even planes! We [...]
Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
THE Viper Copperhead R and VX4R.51 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewTo really rip up the local bash spot takes some serious horsepower now days. I mean, since brushless has taken over the world every Tom, Dick and Harry are packing 500 watts (or a LOT more) of tire shredding power to the local Wally World parking lot. Do I have [...]
The Traxxas XO-1 ReviewWe finally got our hands on the Traxxas XO-1, easily one of the most talked about car releases of the year. This was Traxxas’s answer for a Supercar. There was controversy from the beginning, and there was also a lot of praise. This is probably the most anticipated and honest reviews of the Traxxas XO-1 you [...]
Firelands Anza LCG Conversion for Traxxas Slash ReviewIt seems like forever ago that we heard about the Firelands Group was going to be putting out a LCG (Low Center of Gravity) Chassis upgrade for the Traxxas Slash. Then when we finally got to see a picture, we thought WOW, this could be interesting! Then we got one in our hands, [...]
Pro-Line has done it again! These new Pro-Line Super Swamper tires will turn your trail rig into a highly capable scale truck. The tires are so detailed they have even included labels you will find on a real tires sidewall. Keep reading to see all of our thoughts..
The Flyzone Sensei RTF ReviewWe don’t do a lot of airplane reviews, but we do have 3DBill, our resident pilot. Brian and Wrench like to dabble with flying now and then, and by flying I mean ‘Falling with Style’. So we know there is a little crossover with bashers and the flying scene, so why not review a couple of [...]
