Well, Freak Stuff Racing(.com) has developed a solution for the problem shown in the example below. The people at Freak Stuff have developed a Stainless [...]

The BeaverStick guys have been making RC videos for a long time. If you go check their web site, you’ll see what I mean. They have a TON of videos there to download. The quality of the DVD is really good. The video and audio quality were great on the home stereo and LCD TV. It’s nice to [...]
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: DuraTrax Vendetta So I finally got my hands on the DuraTrax Vendetta. Out of the box, it’s a pretty cool little buggy. DuraTrax always has a good presentation, and the Vendetta carries on their tradition. Something else DuraTrax does good are their manuals. Again the Vendetta manual was no exception. It’s very well laid out, there is lots [...]

If you are thinking about getting into this new technology, hop over to their web page with the link above and place the order [...]
From: CEN Racing A few years ago, I remember talking with some CEN employees, who were telling me that CEN was finally going to get serious about RC. They had been in the RC business for a while, and they had some decent RC vehicles, but nothing really amazing. When the Genesis came out, they turned a lot of heads. They [...]
I recently got the chance to pick up the new HB28503 .26 motor from Hot Bodies and give it a good working over! In all the pictures, the HB28503 is on the left. The previous .26 from Hot Bodies is on the right with the purple head. I have owned several Hot Bodies cars, and a few of them have [...]
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: Street Force GP 2 As a basher, I don’t really do a lot of on-road racing, but I do like to tear up a parking lot whenever I get the chance. It was time to see if the Duratrax Street Force GP2 could handle some parking lot bashing! The kit comes RTR with everything you need to get up [...]
From: Airtronics The Airtronics MX-3 is a 3 channel computer radio system. This means that instead of having a few little nobs to adjust your throttle and steering trim, you get complete control of all sorts of settings. It can store settings for up to 5 different vehicles, this allows you to just carry one radio and not have to [...]
From: FlexTek RC Direct Link: FlexTek T-Maxx Suspension Arms Complete Kit Being a pretty serious basher, (I usually don’t stop till it’s broken!) you can imagine that I end up having to replace a lot of parts at the end of the day. My usual routine has been, come home, inspect what’s broke, take off the a-arms and bend them [...]
We’ve had some time to spend with the HPI Stage-D Conversion Set and we’ve had a blast trying to learn the ins and outs of drifting. We have, however, run across a few bumps along the way. The Stage-D Conversion Set includes a new chassis, drift tires with some sharp looking rims, carbon fiber plates to hold it all together and [...]
From: DuraTrax Direct Link: DuraTrax Mini-Quake Before we get into it, let me start by saying, in the beginning we had some issues, but please keep reading the full review. Things definitely get better.
From: eXtreme standZ Direct Link: eXtreme standZ Product Page When it comes to working on your RC vehicle, there are a few choices that you can make to prop up your ride. I have been in a lot of track pits and I have seen everything from $100 steel stands to a few pieces of wood nailed together. I have been using [...]
No chargers lost their lives in the creating of this review, but bashers need chargers. We have electric vehicles, we have receiver packs, and we need that stuff charged! Now, being bashers, we don’t always go out and buy the BEST of the BEST for ourselves. Do I really need that extra 100mAh that a $500+ charger [...]
