With the sun and fun of summer in full swing, I've had more opportunities to take my LaTrax Rally out for a few more drives and have greatly enjoyed what this vehicle has to offer. So much so, that I've been keeping an eye out for deals for possibly picking up another Rally or other […]
Proving that size is no factor in the amount of fun you can have with an R/C vehicle, ECX has updated their BeatBox and KickFlip 1/36-scale vehicles with new graphics, and in one case, a new body type. Keeping with it's micro-Monster Truck body style, the BeatBox has received a new coat of paint for […]
My previously-mentioned "great deal" of a HPI Micro RS4 began to show signs of wear with its decals after a few driveway drives. As a quick weekend project, I stripped off the old decals and gave the look of this ride an update. While the stock look was great, this look is more along the lines […]
If the twists and turns of on-road racing and the high-flying jumps that come with off-road bashing have you wanting more from your R/C experience, take some time to slow down and explore the terrain around you. ECX, one of the more budget-friendly radio-controlled vehicle brands, is dipping their toe into the rock crawling scene […]
Even though space in my R/C garage is growing a bit tight, I was able to find room for "just one more" vehicle. After finding a deal that was too good to pass up, I got my hands on HPI's Micro RS4. Since this was one vehicle I had looked at picking up earlier in […]
As I sit here, looking across the room at my LaTrax Rally, I'm reminded of how much fun these smaller, rally-based R/C cars can be. For those of you that share the same thoughts, Losi has a new machine that you may want to take a look at. Based on their MINI 8IGHT, the new […]
Dromida, has been a favorite among R/C fans since they came onto the scene in 2013. Since their inception, they have been adding upgrade parts and new vehicle choices to their lineup, keeping things exciting for entry-level hobbyists. After releasing an add-on Brushless Speed Kit (featuring a 5300kV brushless motor, speed control, receiver, 12T pinion […]
Let me be the first to admit that I goofed. I missed a few R/C manufacturers and models when I wrote up my "big list" of "big names" in small-scale radio-controlled vehicles. Two nice-looking, low-dollar options have been available from Helion for some time, but if you haven't yet been introduced to them, now is […]
As the march into 2015 continues, there have been a number of new radio-controlled vehicles announced and released, though most of them have been of the larger-scale variety. Luckily for your small-scale fans, Carisma is releasing a new 1/24-scale buggy that should be an exciting little machine. Fancy something palm size and stupid fast and runs LIPO […]
With my initial run of the LaTrax Rally in the books, it’s time to show some attention to the handling of this already-nimble machine.
