Being a two time champion of our coveted Bash Vehicle of the Year, the ARRMA Granite packs some serious street cred with the bashing crowd. For 2014 ARRMA announced a new more affordable line-up, the Mega Series, that was designed to give good performance at a reasonable price. To make the price drop happen on the Mega Series, certain goodies [...]
In today’s review we’ll be taking a very up close and personal look at the Mini 8IGHT-T Truggy from Losi. The Mini 8IGHT-T comes in at 1/14 scale, bigger than most minis, but significantly smaller than a tenth scaled truck. It comes brushless powered and with the high zoot AVC that everyone is talking about. Can the Mini 8IGHT-T take [...]
Blade 200QX Quadcopter by Horizon Hobby – ReviewIn a RC World where quadcopters are becoming THE thing to pilot, Blade Helicopters took the popular 350QX platform and shrank it. Luckily, there was no movie starring Rick Moranis, but I did get the opportunity to give the 200QX Quadcopter a good test and you can see my thoughts on the aircraft after the jump…

We rarely bash on just one surface so we were very interested to see if the Roadblocks would work all the surfaces we like to bash on.

THE ECX Circuit 4WD RTR ReviewMyself, like many of you, spent years driving 2wd Stadium Trucks. They were a whole lot easier to drive and bash with compared to a typical 2wd buggy. A 4wd stadium truck would have been even better, but there were very few available, and those that were tended to break all the time. ECX recently released [...]

THE Team Durango DEX210v2 Buggy ReviewIf you are an “old timer” then you probably spent years driving/racing/bashing a 2wd tenth scale buggy.

The crew over at Racers Edge shot us their EZ80 Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger to try, here is what we found out. The EZ80 uses a menu that [...]
THE ECX Torment 4wd RTR SCT ReviewECX, while still a relatively “new” brand, has made quite the splash in the bashing market.

We’ve been driving one of their new 4wd Torment RTR SCTs for a few weeks [...]

THE Team Durango DETC410 Touring Car ReviewTeam Durango has been known for years as a premium producer of off-road machines, luckily for us the UPS man dropped off their very first on-road machine, the DETC410 Touring Car, for some good old fashioned bashing action. As the first of its kind from Durango, the DETC410 sits on an all new, and [...]
