The radio control hobby is limitless when it comes to projects, but the projects that seem to be overwhelming are the ridiculous amount of trail truck builds taking over all corners of the RC internet. We’re hoping to break that …

The RC Driver Axial Racing SCX10 II Jeep XJ has been stock for long enough. It’s time to bolt on some scale accessories so we turned to RC4WD for their wide range of scale option parts specifically for the SCX10 …

Our new video studio has a number of RC cars on display and one vehicle in particular has been getting a lot of attention from you our viewers. For most of our new videos a particular yellow van has been …

The radio control hobby is limitless when it comes to projects, but RC Driver’s Greg Vogel has been noticing a ridiculous amount of trail truck builds taking over all corners of the RC internet. The cycle must be broken, or …

There has been an RJ Speed Jeep Scrambler body sitting in my shop for a couple of years just waiting for the perfect chassis to come along. I have always loved the scale style and who doesn't like Jeeps? Yes, it would fit some existing kits, like the Stampede or one of the Axial scale rigs that have become popular, but I decided to create my own by repurposing a project from a few years ago.

Project: Traxxas Slash: Our hop-up parts and accessory picks for today’s popular vehicles that will boost performance, durability or appearance and leave you with a sweet custom ride.

Cool builds take time and Lonnie Sexton has built a rig that is beyond cool and has taken more than five years to complete. In late 2007, I was online on a forum and remember running across his idea to build an RC EarthRoamer Xpedition vehicle. I ensured that I had the post marked so that I could track the progress. Lonnie indicated that the idea for the build had started when he was on scale4x4rc.org and he had seen a group of builders starting a competition for a camper build-off.

It’s big! Its burley! And it doesn’t allow anything to get in its way! The Traxxas Summit is a huge favorite among bashers who want to go anywhere off-road from scaling rocks to blasting through dirt piles. Traxxas really produced …

Once upon a time the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 was released and like any new product, there wasn’t much support for it. Fast forward to today and there are bumpers, body parts, panhard setups, drive shafts, shocks, 4-link, fender flairs, and more available to tune your Trail Finder 2 however you see fit. You name it and RC4WD now makes it for this vehicle so you can create a truly unique build. It’s hard getting past the incredible scale look of this vehicle and the performance that is just as amazing as its appearance.

Are you ready to do something new with your short course truck? The crew at RC Driver Magazine reworked their Traxxas Slash 4×4, ECX Torment 4×4 and Helion Dominus 10SC short course machines into off-road tackling Adventure Trucks. In this …

We certainly love the Axial SCX10 platform in the RC Driver offices; you can often find us sneaking out the door to run some rigs on the dirt and rocks around the office. That’s probably why we feature so many …

Serving Up Some Action in Snow! Words: Dean Berry You have to give it to Traxxas, when they design a platform they know how to use it and use it well, across a wide variety of vehicles. Take the Slash …

Not all projects have to require a major overhaul or rebuild to create a dramatically different vehicle than the one you start with. What you are reading about is one such project. My Traxxas Telluride actually saw a lot of action before I started to think about how I could change it.

Part 4 of Project Jallopy and we’ve finished our build. It’s hard to imagine that just a few days ago, the car you see above was just a random pile of parts in a bin with no instruction manual for …

We’re into Part 3 of Project RCD Jallopy and we’re going to wrap up the build portion of our custom creation and we’ll talk performance in Part 4. Things just seemed to fall together nicely at the end of the …
