Before looking ahead, last year I made several predictions for 2015- that a scale short course truck would come out (while technically a “Trophy Truck”, this was [...]

Merry Christmas everyone! I sincerely hope that there was a lot of r/c goodness under the tree this year. If there wasn’t, well, it probably wasn’t a manufacturer’s fault; there has been an insane amount of stuff released this last year. I’d have to say that 2015 was probably my favorite year of being involved in the hobby. Lots of trigger [...]

Happy Black Friday to all! Holiday shopping season is officially underway, and you know, hobbyists, particularly scalers, can be a tough lot to buy for. Why? Because we buy it all ourselves! With that said we still do like to get gifts from other people from time to time, so here is an ecclectic mix of products that any scaler should [...]
