Thunder Tiger Phoenix STII ReviewStadium trucks are not the current rage, but they are still a big part of the RC world. Their low cost and durability often make them a newbie’s first vehicle. Thunder Tiger has several stadium trucks under their belt, so how does the Phoenix STII hold up? Keep reading to find out..
The Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Review In my last review I mentioned that I didn’t mind handing over my R/C cars to just about anyone. This time, it wasn’t because I was worried about the car. I just plain forgot to offer because I was having too much fun with it? So what is a 1:10th scale buggy with 1:8th scale [...]
THE HPI Apache C1 ReviewWhen HPI mad the announcement and initial showed the first pictures of the HPI Apache C1, the world took notice. It was going to be the size people were looking for, the power people wanted, and the scale looks that seem to be the direction RC is going to. People were excited, pre-orders were being [...]
THE VS Tank Pro ReviewWe recently got our hands on two VS Tank Pro vehicles. The M4A3 Sherman (USA) and the Pz.753 (German) seemed like good choices. We opted for the infrared instead of the Airsoft versions because we knew with Cubby around we’d have bb holes in walls and bruised shins. On the official VS Tank website the vehicles [...]
THE 1/10th 4wd Axial EXO Terra Buggy ReviewWind back the hands of time to when Associated first released their legendary RC10 buggy. The RC10 flew off LHS shelves not only because it had ground breaking technology, but also because of its incredible scale looks. Since then rc buggies have gradually become less and less scale realistic, today rc buggies look [...]
The Axial AX10 Ridgecrest ReviewThe all new Ax10 Ridgecrest is Axial’s latest truck to enter the crawler/scale scene. When you first look at the truck it seems to be an Ax10 with a new body, but look closer and you’ll find it has an all new chassis with scaled down Dana 60 axles (also used on the Wraith). The truck [...]
The HobbyKing Turnigy Nano-Tech 2S 65C 6000 Mah Hard Case Lipo Battery ReviewIt seems there are a lot of you guys out there wanting to see us review one of the higher “C” Turnigy Nano packs, so here you go. Do they put a crushing on the discharger? Do they vault your truck well past the landing area of every [...]
The Duratrax VW Baja Bug ReviewAt a visit to Hobbico headquarters several months ago, I got a sneak peak of what some of their upcoming lineup was going to be. I got to see the ARRMA brand, the new Evader Brushless, and finally the VW Baja Bug. Everything I saw had a unique quality that made it special, and for [...]
The Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger ReviewThe moment we saw the Traxxas 1/16 Grave Digger, our gut reaction was that this might be pretty cool. A mini monster truck based on the 1/16 scale E-Revo platform would be fun to bash with. Then we read further and saw that it was shipping as a 2wd vehicle, and you could ‘upgrade’ to [...]
THE Viper Copperhead and VX4.39 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewA few weeks ago we reviewed the latest 550 brushless system from Viper, this week we’ll be taking a look at it’s slightly smaller brother, a Viper intended for your 2wd tenth scale SCT. The Viper Copperhead speedo and VX4.39 motor system are an affordable option for your 2wd SCT, how [...]
The Duratrax Multi-Driver ReviewFrom the moment we got the official press release, several people around the office claimed this was a must have tool! We finally got ours in and have been putting them to the test. Is the Multi-Driver everything we wished for? Is it the last tool you will ever buy? Keep reading for our thoughts and experiences…
The Traxxas EZ-Peak Charger ReviewWe recently had a chance to put the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus Lipo Charger to the test. We also had a chance to test the Traxxas 2 & 3 Cell Lipo Charger. If you are looking for a LiPo Charger, or just a Traxxas Fan who feels more comfortable when everything you use is from the same [...]

Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
THE Viper Copperhead R and VX4R.51 Sensorless Brushless Motor/ESC System ReviewTo really rip up the local bash spot takes some serious horsepower now days. I mean, since brushless has taken over the world every Tom, Dick and Harry are packing 500 watts (or a LOT more) of tire shredding power to the local Wally World parking lot. Do I have [...]
