We recently got our hands on the ECX Beatbox and Kickflip 1/36 scale vehicles, and it was time to get them out of the boxes. Shocking note was the insanely small size of those body pins! You can see the comparison to a normal size pin. We will save our thoughts for the full review, for now enjoy all [...]
When we got the announcement on the new Helion Verdikt 12SC everyone in the office was curious as to how big it was. It is shown as a 1/12th scale, which normally is too small for our style of “serious” bashing. However, once we cracked the box open we found that it is a decent size and should be good [...]
Too cold to fly outside? Flyzone sent us their new answer: the 2 Channel (throttle and rudder) Inum. Built for the purpose of indoor flight, this plane should be fun to review.

Got our hands on the Losi Micro Rally X and thought we should bring you some unboxing photos before the testing phase begins. We try to do that in case we ended up with a lot more pieces over the testing process. A couple of things to point out, the new charger to help elimnate long charge times in their [...]
Recently got our Axial Yeti Kit in hand, time to open it up and see what’s inside. Glad to see the skull heads in there, always a favorite! Lots and LOTS of parts in these bags. The weight of the box felt like a RTR, can’t wait to get started. Click Right Here get more details on the kit over at [...]
There is no better timing to get into 1/18th scale vehicles than during the winter months. They are small enough to bash around with in the house, or indoor track, and big enough to go outside when it warms up. We just got our hands on the latest Dromida vehicles, and you know what that means, unboxing time! First up [...]
We’ve been testing and bashing the new Losi XXX-SCT Brushless RTR with AVC for several weeks now. When we cracked it out of the box we took a bunch of pictures to show our readers exactly what it looks like when you get one in your hands. What you’ll find inside is everything needed to get the truck running including [...]
There is one style of vehicle that can be a great bashing machine one day, then can bust out nuclear fast laps at the local outdoor track the next, an 8th scale buggy. The latest RTR 8th scale buggy to hit the bashing market is the 8IGHT-E with AVC from Losi. As we unboxed our 8IGHT-E RTR we took a bunch [...]

Now there is a new version, a XXX-SCB that comes standard with a Dynamite brushless power system and AVC stability control. Have a look at the two galleries below to [...]
Two more players enter the field of the quadcopter market: the Ares Advantage Series Ethos FPV and Ethos HD from the Firelands Group. Both of these quadcopters are identical aircraft wise, but the camera setups are different. The Ethos FPV comes with a full First-Person View setup including viewscreen and transmitter/receiver system. The Ethos HD has no FPV capabilities but carries an 1080p video camera to [...]

I am excited to review this Ready to Fly helicopter and test my flight skills on this new design and stabilization system. The full review will be ready in the coming weeks, but for now enjoy [...]
The guys over at Vaterra have recently released a new scale kit with many new ideas that simply aren’t availible anywhere else. Earlier this week I was able to get my hands on a brand new Vaterra Ascender kit! This truck has had all sorts of rumors going around about it, good and bad honestly I belive there is some serious [...]
The folks at Tower Hobbies have been a cornerstone for the rc hobby for decades, perhaps getting more new people into the hobby than any other single retailer. Tower recently announced a new 4wd SCT called the Cutback. The Cutback is aimed right at the bashing crowd and comes RTR, making it easy to go right from the box to [...]
