It seems rare that we see some cool new innovation in RC. Now most of you ‘racer’ types won’t dig this, but these new RPM Low Visibility Wheelie Bars for the Traxxas Slash 2wd and 4×4 are pretty darn slick! I think not only from an appearance aspect, but a lot of times those wheelie bars extending on the back [...]

These Mini Spikes are a less aggressive general purpose tire, which Schumacher reccomend for Grass, Astroturf, Carpet and general use.

It comes with the Titan 12T Brushed motor, 2.4Ghz radio system, and BFGoodrich replica tires. [...]

If it came murdered out in flat black paint you’d [...]

The Truth is still out there, and now there’s a better version of it. JConcepts‘ new Truth V2 may share it’s name with the first Truth body, but that’s where the similarities end as the V2 is a completely new design.
