Axial now carry a kit version on their SCX10 Dingo. You get a ton of cool stuff included in the kit, including aluminum suspension links, metal driveshafts, a slipper clutch and threaded piggy-back shocks! And of course being a SCX10 chassis, it should be as tough as nails! Street price will be under $250, and it should be available in time [...]
File this one deep into the rumor drawer, but a good friend of ours sent this to us with the heading of Axial spy shot? It looks like a classic style buggy in a way. We don’t really have any other details, but I have put out some feelers and we will see what comes back. Thanks to one of [...]
Novak now offer a M2 Dig 3S ESC, dual Rock Star 45t motor, and 3A High Voltage BEC combo to satisfy the needs of the MOA crawler guys.

The Team Novak website will have full details in the near [...]

Hey it’s Monday morning, time to get this week in rc started off right with THE Cub Report. Did you know people still race on-road rc cars? Yes, I know they are dead at the local level but the International Indoor Champs in Vegas is still alive and well. Most of the “big name” on road guys from across [...]
We broke it, now it’s officially on Axial’s website. The 1/10 scale Wraith kit is a real thing! It will come unassembled (obviously), with no electronics, or LEDs. It will have 7mm aluminium lower links, universal joint axles instead of dog bones, softer springs and tires, clear body panels, and black rims and tires. Lots of [...]
Just a quick note, it looks like Axial will soon have a KIT version of the Wraith! According to Tower Hobbies it will be shipping late October, and it sounds like it will be minus a radio, and build it yourself. There were no other details yet, but for those that like to build their stuff, you are about to [...]
New from the folks at Rogue Element Components is this crazy cool new interior for the Axial Wraith. Looks like Chris went all out on this one. Everything is created from little objects, not just some stickers. They are only going to make 100 of these kits, and the cost will be about $100. If you want one of the [...]
Jenson Button put in one of the most epic drives in motor-sports yesterday, surviving a marathon rain delayed race to take the win in Montreal at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix. Thus far the 2011 F1 season has been a bore, but last weekends Canadian GP more than made up for the lack of pizzazz of the earlier races. [...]
Boorah rc fans, it’s Memorial weekend and yes, even your beloved Cubby has to work. Ughhhh… the impossibly hard to live life of an internet pundit, now that’s what I’m all about. Breaking Bad- new season starts July 17th. Just say’n… Vettel won the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco over the weekend. Ughhhh…. And it’s not that I don’t [...]

This ESC was developed in partnership with Castle Creations, and is completely programmable with CastleLink. It also features a lipo cutoff set on from the factory, [...]
It looks like Axial Racing has finally got their website updated with some real information, pictures, and even a video of their until now secret Axial Wraith. No lie, watching the video gave me chills! I’m not sure what it is that has me so pumped up about this truck. Maybe the fact that it looks [...]
Axial just posted up a teaser of their new rock racer, the Wraith, which is still pending an official announcement. There’s not anything new in this video, but it sure does look cool. Check out the video after the break, then hit up Axial’s website to patiently await the official announcement, coming in a couple weeks.
I mentioned in the post about RCP Crawlers new Axial XR10 chassis prototype that they had a very cool booth at RC Expo 2011 with all kinds of scale crawlers. Here’s some pics of a few of them. All the Jeep crawlers are built with the G.I. Joe Jeep push toy, they are all great looking vehicles. And be sure [...]
