Surf’s Up Traxxas Slash C-10 [Reader’s Ride]

This Chevy C-10 built by Robert Stallings has us yearning for beach weather again.

Everything You Need To Know About Nitro Fuel

This time it’s an Axial Wraith 1.9 clad in minimalist metal panels bolted to the tube frame for a decidedly rat-rod look. The panels are steel sheet, weathered with a “special potion” of Aaron’s […]

Tamiya’s Heavy Dump Truck is Construction Equipment You Get to Construct

Tamiya definitely gets the award for “yellowest chassis” with this new release. The Heavy Dump Truck is a kit (yay!) and scales out to 1/24 because the full-size truck is so massive, but the GF-01 chassis is more what you would consider 1/12 scale based on its width and wheelbase (and if you get Tamiya’s […]

SCX10-based Croc Hunter Land Cruiser [Reader’s Ride]

Wesley Steinke’s truck started off as an Axial SCX10 Honcho, but with a donor body from a Crocodile Hunter toy truck, it’s now a beautifully detailed Toyota Land Cruiser 70 UTE complete with a reworked drivetrain to accommodate the body’s shorter wheelbase.

Online Coverage Of The 2013 Hobby Haven Off-Road Shootout

Over the Labor Day Weekend I went back to Urbandale, IA for the 2013 Hobby Haven Off-Road Shootout. This is the 14th year of this annual local event, but this race has now grown into a recognized regional event that attracts more out of state racers each year. This year we saw 258 entries with […]

The car is fairly stock, but the details are what separates Cav’s TC6.2. He tops it off with a Protoform LTC-R body that is trimmed to meet ROAR rules, and of course, is adorned in his signature livery.

2015 ROAR On-Road Nats: Under the Hood of Ryan Cavalieri’s Winning TC6.2

To say that Ryan Cavalieri is having a history-making season would be an understatement, but most would assume his domination would be contained to off-road. After all, he’s raced on-road in the past with mixed results, but lately he’s been on a different level. I was fortunate to take a peak under the hood of […]
