This 1/5 Scale, WOODEN Escort Rally Looks SO REAL [VIDEO]

This 1/5 Scale, WOODEN Escort Rally Looks SO REAL [VIDEO]

We’ve seen countless RC builds that are realistic when it comes to just sitting pretty. Looking dynamically realistic–as in, reacting and moving like the real thing–is something much more rare. Master builder Headquake has done just that with his Mk1 Escort. The scratch-built 1/5 scale (!) car is impressive enough standing still, but under power it looks absolutely real […]

Axial Jeep Mighty FC Body

Axial Jeep Mighty FC Body

Axial’s latest body design will just be a weird-lookin’ body for some RC fans, but Jeepers will recognize the snub-nosed styling as a Forward-Control or “FC.” The classic utility platform got an official “concept” makeover back in 2012 as the “Mighty FC,” and that’s what Axial has modeled here. Definitely different! See below for full […]
The Tamiya Monster Beetle Is Back!

The Tamiya Monster Beetle Is Back!

We are very excited to see that Tamiya has added the Monster Beetle to the rerelease list. This is an iconic truck from the 80s and the 2015 version retains the same great look.

The well-detailed shell arrives with a loaded decal sheet, window masks, and overspray film. The Komodos are glued to Galaxy gloss-black wheels and are sold […]

ECX’s Outburst Micro-Bike Looks Like a Lot of Fun for $40 [VIDEO]

Hmmm, dinner for two at Chili’s or an ECX Outburst? The itty-bitty bike measures just over 5″ long, but based on the clip below, the Outburst appears fast for it’s size and lots of fun for not much cash–shoot, at $40 each you can get two and still be well under a hundo. Amazingly, the […]

This Wild Spider-Buggy Thing Needs To Be RC [VIDEO]

This Wild Spider-Buggy Thing Needs To Be RC [VIDEO]

This wild French ride mounts a motor in each of its four wheels, so there’s no need to restrain the suspension with considerations for driveshafts (or belts or chains, for that matter). With each wheel free to articulate at extreme angles, the “pendular suspension” is capable of uncanny spider-like moves while isolating the chassis–see for […]

The builder is Danny Huynh, who hails from Australia–you can see more of his work […]

Kev’s Bench: What Happened to Monster Truck Racing?

Kev’s Bench: What Happened to Monster Truck Racing?

Back in the early 2000s, monster truck racing with independent suspension trucks on local tracks was very popular. People were converting trucks like the Traxxas T-Maxx, Team Associated MGT and Tamiya TNX into full-blown race machines. There were also big races held around the country like the Pro-Line Maxx challenge and Monster Madness that drew […]
