Lots of packs seem to have dips in voltage after 25-30a… so that [...]
Thunder Tiger ST4 G3 ReviewWhen I heard there was a new truck in the office based on the basher of the year truck, I jumped on it! At first look, the Thunder Tiger ST4 G3 looks tough.

Team Durango has announced the official DNX408T Nitro Truggy Kit page has gone live! In true Durango form, it’s a beautiful looking vehicle that is beyond engineered.

JConcepts has a new 1/8 scale truggy tire based on the Subculture tread, their multi-tiered design that a lot of people swear by.
