This year I decided it was time to jump into the ever growing 1/8 Electric Buggy class. I could have gone with one of the more mainstream rides, but when I saw the Caster Racing EX1.5R I was intrigued. First of all I wanted a kit. I enjoy building my cars first, because it makes [...]

Project Puller: Converting a RJ Speed Digger
April 11th, 2012 Kevin Hey guys. I have something unique here for your viewing pleasure. If you’ve been following along with us, you’ll know that we started entering the R/C Truck & Tractor Pulling scene in recent months. There is a semi-local venue called The Hanger that has several yearly events (one is this weekend! The Dirt Nationals!). We [...]
Tamiya Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie Build Up
January 23rd, 2012 Kevin After attending the 2011 Big Bird Pull, I was on the lookout to build a puller of our own for RC Soup. The 2wd Box Stock class uses any 2wd truck with a stock motor and 6 cell battery. The class is an entry level class as far as pulling goes, there’s not much you [...]

Project Overkill: RJ Speed Digger
December 19th, 2011 Kevin Recently I acquired a gently used Castle Creations CM36 9,000KV motor. This is the fastest 1/10 motor Castle makes. I looked at their site regarding this motor (they have a specific page for it HERE). From there you will find your way to an advisory page where it states to NEVER use this in a [...]
WMD Eliminator LCG Slash Chassis – Build up

Tamiya CC-01 Mercedes-Benz Unimog Build Up
November 18th, 2011 Kevin Another Tamiya build! I really can’t say enough about how much I love a Tamiya build. Having been into plastic models as a teenager, I really love building kits. It brings back fond memories. If you’re going to build a kit, you might as well go with one by one of the best kit manufacturers [...]
Traxxas Slash – STRC LCG Chassis build up
November 13th, 2011 Matt While looking at LCG chassis conversions for the 2wd Traxxas Slash, it is hard to overlook ST Racing Concepts. This is probably the most popular LCG chassis for the 2wd Slash on the market today. It’s premise is to use parts from the Traxxas Rustler, a 1/10 scale, 2wd stadium truck. In addition, there are [...]

If you are just joining us, the original post is HERE. If you read it before and just [...]
Traxxas Slash – Chuckworks RC Slice A3 chassis- Build up
September 30th, 2011 Matt Let me begin by saying I love my Traxxas Slash. It is by far the most durable vehicle I have ever owned. Easy to fix, parts are readily available at every local hobby shop I’ve been to. It is the vehicle I recommend to anyone wanting to get into RC for the first time. If [...]
Axial SCX10 Honcho Kit Build
September 21st, 2011 Matt Recently, some friends of ours went on an excursion with their trail trucks. They shared some of the pictures of all the fun they had, and it got me to thinking. I need something I can use around the house during the long winter months. Something that I could take in the snow, and take [...]
