MCD Racing hits the rally car scene in a big way with their new X5. You see, the X5 Rally Car is a 1/5th scale gasoline powered 4wd, making it a great choice for large bash areas. Built on the proven MCD 5 series chassis, the X5 comes with scale realistic parts like a rear diffuser, top air intake, side [...]
We posted the huge new Traxxas X-Maxx last week, we posted the extremely large 1/4 RC4WD Killer Krawler 2 yesterday, and today we get to post yet another beast, the 1/5 Kraken RC Vekta.5. The Vekta.5 is scaled after an Ultra 4 Unlimited Buggy and has the scale authentic look that everyone is after. The KV5 will come in two [...]
Hi there this is Hawaiian Chris, one of the members of the BigSquidRC Bash Crew. I recently got a chance to review the Optical Large Scale Kill Switch from Dynamite RC. The Dynamite Optical Kill Switch (part #DYNE1240) was made pretty compact and with good quality JST plugs. The opto-coupling was housed in a sturdy plastic cover and proved to be [...]

The W5 V5 will be available in two different forms, a full on factory team spec model and as a competition rolling chassis. Some of the highlights of the truck are- * [...]
Gasoline powered rc vehicles were supposed to be the next big thing. The HPI Octane seemingly came and went, just as the Losi Monster XXL did. Losi recently released both a buggy and truggy with their Dynamite Gasoline Powered Engine, we’ve been putting the 8IGHT-T truggy through its paces to see how it stacks up. Have they fixed the engine [...]
If you’ve read the CR for any period of time, you clearly know I have a passionate hatred of nitro. It stems from years of watching T-Maxx drivers grind away on “easy starts” with no success, or even when they could get the engine to pop to life, actually sitting the truck on the ground was the kiss of death, [...]

To make starting even easier, a Losi starter box comes with both units. A Spektrum 2.4GHz radio is supplied, while waterproof electronics are great for the bashing crowd. The part number for [...]

While it might seem like electric rules right now, every time we go bashing we see people running nitro and gasoline powered cars. No, fuel burning rc cars aren’t as dominant as they once were, but there are still plenty of hardcore bashers that will not bash without the smell and sound of nitro/gas. Over the last couple of months we’ve [...]
