Ready-To-Run Just Got Better…. Looking.

Traxxas is soon to announce the new RTR Ford F-150 Raptor SVT. (aka. Traxxas 2WD Slash platform). Traxxas may not have made the whole truck “all new” but lets face it, you have to hand it to them for making an RTR body a lot better looking than the previous ones. Yeah it’s a Ford, […]

Late Summer Reading & Movie Suggestions

As the racing season is winding down this fall, it can be difficult to go cold-turkey on RC racing.  For those of you who still have the racing itch and want to read a good book (you know…reading…books…they’re like magazines, only bigger) and watch a good movie, I have two suggestions for you.

That Hobby Store Around The Corner

That Hobby Store Around The Corner

A few days ago I was going through some old photos of my hobby collection. I found a few photos of cars I first bought from my local hobby store (LHS). I was brought back to a time when online stores and outlets didn’t exist yet and when the local hobby store was the only […]

It’s been a busy weekend

Once in a while during a holiday weekend it’s nice to spend the weekend at home, work on house projects, enjoy the company of family and friends, or build a work bench.
