New Product: Team Associated RC18 Late Model

Team Associated’s stable of 1/18th scale cars has just grown by one.  Hot on the heels of their awesome looking SC18, AE has dug deep and come up with the RC18 Late Model.  It’s an RTR with a 2.4 GHz radio, built on the new SC18 belt driven chassis.  Just like the SC18 it seems that batteries and a charger are NOT [...]


The evolution of buggy racing?

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 [...]


Two (more) new RTRs from Associated, still no SC18…

Team Associated announced two new RTR packages today.  Both are based on the highly successful RC10T4 stadium truck RC10B4 off-road buggy with some changes and dubbed the RC10T4.1 RC10B4.1.  One is brushed motor powered, the other is brushless.  They both come with a new 2.4 GHz radio system as well.  MSRPs are $339.99 $329.99 for brushed [...]

Micro Awesomeness.

Well, I love me them Losi Micros and I love me them Losi Highrollers.  Now two of my loves have become one.  The new Micro-Highroller is a teeny, tiny, dead wringer for it’s bigger brother.

It has officially been added to my r/c must buy list.


Losi Micro-T Review

 Losi’s Micro-T is the next step in the fast growing mini and micro market of the r/c hobby and industry.
Everything you need is included, and it is the first truly self-contained, travel anywhere off-road r/c truck.  The entire package includes a RTR truck with 27 Mhz transmitter, a battery powered peak charger for the included [...]


A brushless Micro-T

would be totally awesome if I didn’t have to completely gut my Micro-T’s electronics.  So not only do you have to buy the brushless motor and ESC, you also have to buy a new micro receiver and micro servo.  So that $50 brushless bargain easily adds up to well over $100.  I’ve already invested $350+ [...]


A Brushless Micro-T

would be absolutely amazing.  Team Losi realized this and has released a complete brushless system for the 1/36 scale micro line.  I cannot wait for this, I’ll be heading to my local hobby shop (American Pastimes) tomorrow to see if they have it yet.
Specs and more at RCeasy.


Team Losi's Micro-T: Coming soon…

0…to a desk near me.
