Solid Performance : ICharger 308 Duo Review
The iCharger, One of the most used chargers in today’s racing world. This charger has caused a lot of controversy in the Stock world as the high amp charging and high amp discharging has sparked a lot of issues in the racing community.

Tamiya M-05v2 Pro Mini JCW Coupe Build Up
Tamiya Mini (or M-Chassis) cars are something I have always admired through my years in the hobby. I’ve even owned a couple M-03’s but never really got into their full potential. That’s to say I’ve never raced one. The class has always appealed to me because the cars are smaller, typically more detailed, and unique […]
Team C TM2SC 2WD Mid Motor Short Course Hands On
In today’s race world the race participants dictate the quality of the race surface. The trend has moved to the farthest extreme of asphalt racing in off-road racing here in the U.S. Most, if not all manufacturers have dedicated chassis to compete head to head in these conditions. This is the latest and greatest in […]

Associated RC10 B5 Rear Motor Team Kit Build Up
Team Associated has once again taken the r/c world by storm with their surprise release of the RC10B5 Rear Motor and RC10B5M Mid Motor 2wd Buggy kits.

Traxxas Slash 2wd LCG Chassis Shootout
December 30th, 2011 Matt The 2wd Traxxas Slash. TQ and A Main winner. Nope, I’m not off my meds. It is a legitimate possibility. Over the past few months, we’ve noticed how popular our 2WD Short Course Shootout was. We’ve been contemplating on how to give Traxxas some redemption. The Slash is, after all, the one that started the […]
Trinity Speedgems Brushed Motors
December 23rd, 2011 Matt Years ago, the Trinity Speedgem motor made a name for itself by having plenty of performance, but at a less expensive price than hand wound motors. With brushless all the rage, Trinity has brought back the Speedgem line for those of you diehards that would rather stick with a brushed motor. The names are the […]

Cow RC Flat Mats Review
December 21st, 2011 Matt When we first started using the Cow RC Screw Catcher Work Mats, we couldn’t get enough. They are perfect for building a kit, or working on your RC. In the past, when you would drop a screw on the table, it would bounce onto the floor. Good luck finding it. With the Screw Catcher Mat […]

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.
