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. While you won’t need to upgrade the shocks on this vehicle, it is a modification that’s well worth the money and it won’t take you too long to complete the process. […]
With temperatures on the rise (at least for a day) I took advantage of this "heat wave" and gave the LaTrax Rally a good shakedown. Not only is it a nimble machine, it's quite durable. I put it into a few snowbanks and over some uneven concrete bumps and it stood up to the test […]
"New year, new R/C car." That's my motto. For the fourth-straight year, I have added a new radio-controlled car to my garage at the start of the year. This time, it's the LaTrax Rally, the first surface entry from LaTrax, and one that I've had my eye on for quite a while. After comparing (aka: […]

Tower Hobbies has pre-ordering available for the DT4.18 Desert Truck and the DB4.18 Desert Buggy. Both of these machines are 1/18 scale and feature functioning LED light bars. DT4.18 Specifications Length: 11.8 in (302mm) Width: […]
If you’re just getting into the R/C hobby or are looking at adding a few new vehicles to your garage, it’s good to know who’s- who and who makes what. While there numerous makes and models to choose from, I’ve highlighted a few of the “bigger” names in the small-scale radio-control universe. With prices ranging […]
Should size make a difference in how much fun you can have? Don't let size fool you. Small-scale R/C vehicles are just as fun (if not more) than their larger-scale counterparts.
