As Cortana will be happy to inform you, the Warthog is a multi-function jeep with a LAAG turret mounted on the back. It has [...]
I read a ton of stuff on the internet every day. Some of that stuff I end up liking a lot and bookmarking for later. This new weekly feature highlights those links.
Article: Big Squid RC: Five Questions with Shawn Palmer (formerly of Schumacher USA, now head sales guy for Speed Passion)
Best new product of the week: [...]
Losi has a lot of rebate deals going on for their 1/8 scale race roller (not RTR) vehicles and the Comp Crawler. If you’ve been thinking about buying a new buggy or truggy now might be the time to do it. Rebates of up to $150 are available.
Here’s the list of rebates. You’ve got until [...]
I took these photos of a couple of my R/C cars earlier today for a project I’m working on. I thought they turned out so cool that I just had to share them. The first two are my mid-90’s era Kyosho Pureten GP Nostalgia series chassis topped with an HPI Pontiac Firebird Trans Am body in racing [...]
I’ve been thinking about doing a scratch-built rc version of this car for a long time. Tamiya beat me to it.
This is the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 SIX WHEELER 1976 Japan GP. A new chassis and body design based on the full scale version from the 1976 F1 series. All four front wheels are steered by a [...]
…carefully watch the current situation with the PSN. Ubisoft’s new DRM for the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II (and multiple future titles, including the upcoming blockbuster-for-sure Splinter Cell: Conviction) requires a constant internet connection to their verification system. The PlayStation Network going down is another excellent example of how a critical system failing can [...]
Here’s some awesome news from Team AE. They are putting out 2nd editions of their popular RC18B and RC18T, based on the new belt driven chassis that is used by the SC18 and RC18LM. The cool thing about this though is that it’s a kit and parts are included to build either vehicle. So you buy one [...]
My first thought upon getting into the game: Trine is a Lost Vikings for the new generation. I picked up this PSN download game last night while it is on sale for only $9.99. I am impressed.
Trine is a 2.5D puzzle/platformer with three characters, each with unique abilities, that you can switch between on the fly to [...]

Three years after I started playing it I have finally finished Halo, the first one, on the original Xbox. It is one of the most aggravating games of all time. Between the stupid and constant arena death traps and the ridiculous vehicle controls and physics I can’t see why anybody thought this was a great game when it [...]
