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 [...]
The Losi Highroller family is now complete. Take your pick and get it in 1/10th scale, 1/36th micro scale, or in the new 1/18th mini scale.

It’s no secret that the advent of the short course style trucks, like the Slash, Strike, and SC10, has changed the face of off-road truck racing. My first thought upon seeing these trucks was “when is somebody going to give 2wd buggies the same treatment?” Well, it’s finally happened, and Kyosho is the first one out [...]

Here’s the first video of Team Associated’s new SC18 via the folks at RC Car Action. Looks to be a good little performer. And I love that little backyard style track they’re running it on.
This is a video that expands on the peek they gave us in the November 6th episode of The Radio Control [...]
BEHOLD!
It’s got a set of temporary electronics in it. And I’m still looking for some original wheels for it. I know where to find a front set, but the rears still elude me. I also need to get a couple new tie-rods to replace a couple bent and broken ones.
