AXIAL WRAITH SPAWN RTR I’ve watched and helped as friends built full-scale jeeps and trucks to handle local attractions. I’ve driven and been a passenger of many off-road adventures. I’ve also watched off-road adventure shows and rock crawling competitions on tv. 1:1...
“Your Easy-To-Use Aerial Photo and Video Assistant. Meet Aton Plus, Your Personal Video Assistant.” That is the first thing you’ll read when you visit Traxxas Aton website. What is the Aton all about and who is the target market is the first that comes to my...
1:10 scale short course trucks continue their rise in popularity ever since the category was created. There are several companies doing well in the category, while other companies that feel that have something to contribute. Helion-RC is one such company, introducing their Select line...
Dromida keeps things fresh and new with the introduction of the Verso, the drone you can fly upside down. I have had my share of Dromida’s and know them to be a quality product, designed with the beginner mind, but never forgetting the expert. They have introduced drones that flip...
One of the lingering frustration’s for power-driver’s is the need to wait on batteries to charge. With nitro’s, you might let the engine cool a little between fill-ups and go again in a matter of a few minutes; you could easily put 3 or 4 tanks of fuel through a nitro...
Traxxas has a lot of choices, and it can be difficult to chose just one (no one says you have to); this is especially true since they continue to innovate and improve existing models, like the Stampede. Equipping it with a Velineon 3500 Brushless motor and VXL-3S, Traxxas Stability...
The Vista UAV is a radio controlled quadcopter. It's not my usual test subject, but is of particular interest because my 8 year old son started learning how to fly helicopter's with an Axe 100CX. He's well familiar with the Dromida series of cars and was immediately drawn to this...
What do you know about ARRMA? I've been watching them for the last couple years, Jonathan Fox did a review on the incredible Senton 6S recently, and I finally have a chance to put myself at the wheel of an ARRMA vehicle with the Fury MEGA. ARRMA doesn't have a long history, but it's one...
In June, I tested and wrote about the Traxxas Slash w/ OBA and how much I enjoyed what the Slash offers. It's been a goto vehicle in my arsenal for all around fun, however the Slash VXL with On-Board Audio (OBA) and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) is starting to take its place as a...
My son and I have spent a lot of time with the Dromida line these last couple months, exploring both the brushless speed series of vehicles, and most recently the BX4.18 brushed buggies. The experience with the BX4.18 buggy was favorable as we enjoy what they offer. And while the 4.18...
The best part of this hobby for me is sharing it and spending time with my son, Elijah! Even though he’s 8, he’s been driving r/c for several years and really seems to enjoy the different parts of the hobby. He’s just as happy bashing around the house as he is racing...
I became more interested in pursuing all the Dromida line had to offer and really wanted to see how good the buggies were. I also wondered what the base [brushed] model had to offer, and what it would take to go from a novice vehicle to an all-out racing performer. Subsequently, I...
