Pro-Line has a new tire on the way for the Traxxas Summit, and the only feature it’s missing is a name. If you provide the nom-de-knob that makes Pro-Line say “that’s it!”, they’ll tool the name into […]

Fast is fun, but slow isn’t too bad either

Over the past couple of decades, RC vehicles of all kinds have become leaner, meaner, and faster.  In the 1980’s, a typical basher (such as a Tamiya Frog) would top out at around 25 mph and run for maybe 6 minutes.  In the 1990’s, average basher speeds were closer to the mid 30 mph range, […]
