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 […]

A batch of Sweep spec tires caused problems in the first round of qualifying eventually causing the round to be redone to keep racing fair for everyone.

Tire Drama at the 2015 ROAR On-Road Nationals

Like any major event, tires are big deal and this National was subject to some unusual problems that only occurred as qualifying got under way.

I Can’t Stop Watching This Wraith Scrambling for Traction in Slo-Mo [VIDEO]

This RC Car Grew On a Tree [VIDEO]

Well, if you want to get picky, it didn’t grow ON a tree, it WAS a tree. A maple tree, to be precise. Mechawood’s appropriately named “Woody” is made almost entirely from lasercut hardwood maple, including the wheels and gears. Other than springs, tires, electronics, and hardware, it’s wood through and through. Even the 2-stick […]

Answer: It’s a charger, of course. But it can indeed solder as well, and the iron is included. It’s no slouch, either; Hitec claims the 60 watt iron can get as hot as 840°F, which is plenty for any RC need. As for charging, we’re looking at dual outputs and a combined output of up […]
