This video does a good job of showcasing what RC is all about–having FUN! Check out these Monster Jam replica trucks at a skate park. The Monster Jam replicas are based on the 2WD Stampede platform and when used with the included 7-cell pack, these trucks have some respectable scoot. They also can take a [...]
I have been a very vocal proponent of ready-to-runs or RTRs. Not only do I believe they are essential for the hobby to grow, but I also believe they don’t hurt the hobby in any way, shape, form or fashion. The haters out there, however, think quite differently. It doesn’t take long for some loudmouth to [...]
We were just talking about these new LiPo packs from Traxxas and wouldn’t you know it, one arrived today. Our first pack is a 3-cell 6400mAh soft sided pack (part no. 2857). Traxxas used a 3s2p configuration to reach 11.1V and 6400mAh capacity, so it is actually six cells in total. Three cells are wired [...]
Traxxas vehicles that include brushless systems such as VXL require very little maintenance to be performed on the motors as the cans are well sealed.

You can’t control the weather! After one round, the race has been called. Final results will be based on the rankings after round one of qualifying.
Round One is almost done and…the rain is here and the racing has stopped. Heavy rains have caused racing to come to an end for now. No word yet on if we’ll be able to restart.
A once wet and slightly muddy track is getting dry. Lots of small rocks are coming up, but overall traction still seems good.
No IFMAR starts at this race. The starts actually have been pretty good too for the most part. Your browser does not support the video tag
Racing has started. It has rained lightly, but so far traction has been decent with the right tires. There is solid cloud cover and the possibility of more wet weather, but they are moving through each heat as fast as possible.
I know it’s not RC, but it’s totally cool. Plus, all RC’ers are obsessed with speed. Check out this video of a car going 426 mph! Of course, it’s built for only one thing and looks a lot more like a rocket than a car, but it’s still amazing.
Traxxas’ line of TQ 2.4 GHz radios offer numerous adjustments, but you may need to return to the default settings if you get confused or are not liking the results of the changes you’ve made to the setting. Sometimes just starting over makes the most sense. Please note that we always advice making one change [...]
