If you know the feeling and want to rocket your rc bling factor to an all new level the guys over at Hiro Seiko now have Swarovski Crystal tipped screws for use in transmitters. [...]

I was reading your review on the new Pro-line transmission. I sent some questions to Pro-line yesterday regarding the problem I have been having with my standard Rustler gears. I was hoping you might be able to shed some additional light on the subject particularly since you have done the vigorous field testing. I got a little of mixed messaging [...]

I am getting back into rc after almost 30 years (i started then with a frog kit) which I would love to see more of now, and am simply amazed at how far r/c has come. With that being said and me being an extreme bash and speed freak, I am addicted to your review link. What are the [...]
1/8th truggy Can u tell me who makes a 1/8th truggy. Kit roller rtr does not matter just wanted to know who has them. Matt N. Cubby– Can I tell you who which companies make 8th scale truggy’s?

New from Futaba is the R614FS HV Receiver. It’s designed to be used with the Futaba 4PK and 4PKS and RC’s equipped with digital and brushless servos. The Dual Antenna Diversity selects the best reception between the two antennas. Head over to the Futaba Website for all the specs.
The new R204GF-E is Futaba‘s best attempt yet at creating a micro sized receiver. While still not the smallest receiver out there, this one is certainly a valiant attempt at shrinking the footprint on their rather large (comparatively) receivers. The R204GF-E is a 4 channel, 2.4 GHz receiver made to pair with Futaba’s sport line of radios that operate using [...]
HobbyKing?… Denied! Just wanted to let you guys know that I went straight to your store and bought a set of stickers after reading the article about not letting HK advertise on your site.
