After getting in from a little run with my 1/10 scale rig (Axial SCX10), I wanted to see what was out there for the small-scale folks. What I found was pure gold. I've found the crawler "scene" to be fun and something that really fits my style, so these miniature rigs are right up my […]
If you're wondering what can be done to customize a smaller-sized R/C car, you don't have to look far to find a few fun projects and builds.

While that's not the longest amount of time, I've managed to pick up on a lot of information and have gotten to know many amazing people in and around the R/C hobby and the industry itself.
