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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

I’ve been singing the praises of this form of driving […]

“Whoa”. That is the one word uttered by everyone who took a turn driving the Dromida BL Monster Truck during my review. Myself included.
