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 […]

Bash Report – June 9, 2011
June 10th, 2011 Kevin Last night was pretty successful. Big thanks to Jarodd of Canalside Raceway for hosting another evening of fun. We didn’t seem to run as much as we did last week, or at least I didn’t anyways. Still a good time. I fixed my truck when I got there from the previous race day at CRC. […]

Duratrax Evader EXT2 Stadium truck- review
May 31st, 2011 Matt While looking for beginner level stadium trucks to get for my kids, the Duratrax Evader EXT2 caught my eye. There is almost a cult following for this truck.

May 30th, 2011 Matt The ElectrixRC brand is relatively new to RC. They are owned by Horizon Hobby. Horizon Hobby saw a need for entry level ready-to-run RC vehicles for the masses. They started ElectrixRC, and introduced the Circuit Stadium truck. The Electrix Circuit is a RTR 1/10 scale stadium truck. Normally, a ready-to-run truck comes fully assembled, with […]
Associated SC10 4×4 Build
May 28th, 2011 Kevin In my opinion kits are fun and the way the hobby SHOULD be enjoyed. This is my 10th kit build (6th Associated). Ready to run has it’s place too, but I prefer a good kit now and then. It allows you to know the vehicle is built correctly and gives you a vast amount of […]
