Atomic Aluminum Wheels for the Kyosho Mini-z Moto – Review
I received a set of Atomic’s new wheels for the Mini-Z Moto. I hadn’t put much thought around it but I realized that these are in fact aluminum wheels while the stock Mini-z Moto wheels are cast out of a heavier metal. On a Mini-Z, switching to an aluminum wheel you rarely end up saving weight. Would the weight savings [...]

Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Review
The Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Review In my last review I mentioned that I didn’t mind handing over my R/C cars to just about anyone. This time, it wasn’t because I was worried about the car. I just plain forgot to offer because I was having too much fun with it? So what is a 1:10th scale buggy with 1:8th scale [...]

Next Kyosho Mini-z Moto rumored to be a Ducati
Kyosho is in the rumor mill with the next Mini-z Moto to be the Team Desmosedici GP11 #46 Ducati. The photo is representative of what we can EXPECT the bike to look like but is not a photo of the actual bike. Until then, enjoy some more photos Kyosho released of the first Yamaha bike.

Traxxas Funny Car unboxing and (pre)view
What you see above, is the Traxxas John Force Funny Car at around 1pm today. The cleanest it’ll ever look and it didn’t last long. What you see below is what happened 5 hours later or about 3 cycles on a 5000mah 3s lipo. From what I’m told, if you participate in the current drag racing scene, that’s about 3 [...]

Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Buggy unboxing
The review of the Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 buggy has begun but until it’s done, this unboxing should hold you over. I know it isn’t a short course but on paper, the closest thing I want to compare this to on “features for the price” is the Traxxas Slash 4×4. Given that, at $369.99 street it appears it’ll be a [...]

RCX 2012 – Airtronics
Airtronics newest entry level radio that is great for any basher, the MX-V. These value 2.4ghz radios always catch my attention because at times, you get some serious bang for the buck without the cost of the higher end units. Compatibility is always important within a line (receivers that work with all the FHSS surface radios within the family) so [...]
RCX 2012 – Hitec
Hitec’s new servos! 221 oz. in .07 inches with titanium gears and dual bearings. Yes please! If you need more power, you can have 485 oz. in 0.14 sec. They also have their new X2-400 Two Port Charger on display.
RCX 2012 – Kershaw Designs
Kershaw Designs showing off product as well. I’ve always thought the chassis designs were pretty cool. I wonder how that brushless system closest to us looks against some of the other large scale solutions?
