RC Review: Losi Tenacity SCT

RC Review: Losi Tenacity SCT

The TEN 4WD short-course truck is a top-shelf performer as a competition machine under the TLR (Team Losi Racing) banner and also hits the dirt as an RTR wearing the Losi logo. The TEN series’ racing pedigree makes all the TEN models high-performance handlers, whether you prefer to go DIY or RTR. Losi’s latest ready-to-run […]
RC Review: RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Blazer

RC Review: RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Blazer

The Trail Finder 2 is one of RC4WD’s most popular vehicles, and there are a few versions of the platform to choose from. You can get it as a kit, RTR, long wheelbase, and short wheelbase, and they all come with the Mojave II body. RC4WD decided to switch things up a bit and offer […]

Traxxas 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor [ RC Review ]

Traxxas 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor [ RC Review ]

“High-performance factory pickup truck.” What truck did that phrase make you think of? Yeah, it was a Ford F-150 Raptor, for sure. And why not—we’re talking a 450hp twin-turbo engine, Fox Racing shocks, 10-speed gearbox, and fat-fendered styling more aggressive than a junkyard dog guarding a plate of bacon. To duplicate the Raptor in RC […]
Tamiya Bullhead Classic Plastic [RC Review]

Tamiya Bullhead Classic Plastic [RC Review]

In 1987, Tamiya introduced the coolest monster truck of the time, and it was called the “Clod Buster.” It featured dual motors, eight shocks, large tires, and a scale Chevy pickup truck body. In 1990, that awesome platform was used to make one of the most unique monster trucks to ever come out of the […]

RC Reviews: Losi Super Baja Rey

RC Reviews: Losi Super Baja Rey

One-sixth scale is a magic place between 1/8 scale and 1/5 scale, where you get a vehicle that is more stable than 1/8 scale and it’s able to use standard batteries and reasonable power systems unlike larger and heavier 1/5-scale vehicles. Losi is embracing this new scale, and has blasted the popular Baja Rey with […]
Review: HPI Venture FJ Cruiser

Review: HPI Venture FJ Cruiser

“Finally,” right? The Venture FJ took the long way to the trail, but now that HPI’s first-ever dedicated 4X4 trail-truck platform is officially released to the wild, it’s the rig everyone wants to see. With a high bar set by the established Traxxas, Vaterra, RC4WD, and Axial models, the Venture needs to be a substantially […]

TESTED: Pro-Line Ultra Reservoir Shock Caps for Traxxas X-Maxx [REVIEW]

TESTED: Pro-Line Ultra Reservoir Shock Caps for Traxxas X-Maxx [REVIEW]

Regular readers will recall that we reviewed Pro-Line’s eye-popping Ultra Reservoir Shocks for scale trucks back in the April 2017 issue, and found the reservoir tech to be as functional as it is stylish. Since then, the Pro-Line CNC machines haven’t slowed down, and now there’s a second member of the Ultra Reservoir family: the […]
REVIEWED: KO Propo EX-RR [Radio Test]

REVIEWED: KO Propo EX-RR [Radio Test]

Premium control for precise, pro-grade performance. Ask even casual RC fans to name an all-time great racer, and you can bet they’ve heard of Masami Hirosaka. He’s a 14-time IFMAR World Champion with titles for 2WD and 4WD electric off-road and 1/12 and 1/10 on-road, and drives faster with toes than most of us can […]

Die Cast X Review: Auto World 1971 Dodge Charger R/T

Die Cast X Review: Auto World 1971 Dodge Charger R/T

Imagine the drama brewing in the halls of Chrysler HQ as product planners contemplated redesigning the legendary ‘68-70 Dodge Charger. That model with its now iconic Coke-bottle shape was an instant hit, raved over by reviewers and stetting and resetting sales records in its first two years. But the Detroit standard product cycle at the […]

$15 Walmart Hyper Tough Power Driver Review – Good For RC?

$15 Walmart Hyper Tough Power Driver Review – Good For RC?

For $15, this power driver isn’t too shabby. It’s not likely to hold up for day-in, day-out use in the hands of a pro wrencher, but for occasional use when you’ve got a bunch of screws to install (like when assembling beadlocks), it’s definitely handy. But be warned: even on the clutch’s “softest” setting, you […]
