Alumicraft RC aren’t the only ones making aluminum bodies for 1/5 scalers. Race Car Prototypes, which is a company known more for making full scale race car bodies, is releasing their own aluminum body, which you can see to the left right (sorry, I was writing this post while looking in a mirror) here. But the one that caught my [...]
Pro-Line releases more BullDog 2012 bodies! The Team Associated RC8.2E, RC8T, and Kyosho MP9 get released from the pound. A steeper front windshield to create more down force for the front wheels, increased high-speed stability by raising the roof ridges, and changes to the rear of the roof and addition of fins to create a more stable air flow over the [...]
The full press release from Pro-Line is out with more photos for the new Camaro GS body. By far my favorite is the straight on shot of the car and the low front splitter. Check the Pro-Line website for other info.
The new Auto Scale releases from Kyosho should be arriving in the states in about a month. We have the Pearl Green Lamborghini Murcirlago LP670-4 SV – Link White Ferrari 599XX – Link and limited release of the Keihin HSV-010. This one I’m not sure how many (if any) will make it state side. – Link #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 [...]

Have a SC10 4×4? Have a messy chassis? JConcepts may have a solution to your problems. An answer to your prayers. Some meat for your potatoes. Or any other cliche you can think of.

If you fancy making your HPI Mini-Trophy look a little more original, then this retro replica of Ivan Stewart’s 1997 Toyota Baja truck is just what the doctor ordered! It comes pre-painted in the original color scheme, complete with decals: awesome! Check out the HPI Racing website for more information.

From JConcepts we have another Punisher body… Wait… That doesn’t look right… Could it be? Has JConcepts released a body that ISN”T a Punisher cab forward body?! They have! They have released a body that isn’t a Punisher body! Well, I do believe it’s time for a celebration. Maybe that’s overstating it a bit. But anywho, this new body from [...]
Some days I think about just copying and pasting the old announcements for these bodies and just changing the name of whatever car it’s for now. But that wouldn’t be fair, not to you, not to Brian, not to Pro-Line or the other companies. But trying to be original when writing about a new BullDog body, this time for Kyosho’s [...]
