My first taste of FPV left me thirsty for more. Thankfully, the Dromida FPV Rally Car arrived on my doorstep in time for some pre-snow fun. Taking a trip to a local park, I turned loose with this 1/18-scale rally car. With the Tactic RM2 FPV monitor set up and DVR feature engaged, I put […]
Last year's arrival of the Team Associated SC28 ($49.99) had me chomping at the bit to get one, however, after the first batch sold-out, my interest in this vehicle cooled. Thanks to a guest-review by Zach, "The Inconsistent TechDad", I felt that I had a solid understanding of this vehicle and decided to hold onto […]
One of the many reasons I’m drawn to small-scale R/C vehicles is their take anywhere, do “just about anything” versatility. If the weather isn’t cooperating, you can always set up an indoor race course or obstacles to crawl over. Even better, is when you can set up an outdoor challenge, testing both your own driving […]
One of my favorite vehicles to review, drive, and bash in 2017 has been Dromida's BL Monster Truck. It's proven to be an incredibly durable, insanely fast, and overall fun radio-controlled truck, and a price that's hard to beat. While the stock $149.99 price is good, the deal that you can get at Tower Hobbies […]

The RC28T is a smaller-scale replica of the classic RC10T and is based on the established chassis of the Team Associated SC28 short course truck. In fact, the only difference between […]
Earlier this year, I discovered a new way to experience my radio-controlled vehicles through the lens of FPV. Popular on the quadcopter and drone racing front, FPV has made its way to the surface side of the R/C hobby...and with good reason. It’s incredibly fun. I’ve been singing the praises of this form of driving […]
Low on price, high on fun. Those are two attributes I look for in any new R/C vehicle. Small-scale cars and trucks seem to fit these criteria quite well, and now there's one more model to add to the growing list of low-cost, full-featured machines. Horizon Hobby's budget-friendly brand, Revolution RC, has launched a new […]

Roughly a year ago, Team Associated released their ultra-compact SC28 short course truck. Though small, it managed to pack quite a punch and prove itself to be a fun small-scale truck for indoor and outdoor driving. Now the folks at Team Associated have rolled out another body option for their 1/28-scale SCT featuring Fox Factory […]
