A while back our fearless leader, Executive Editor Greg V, did a cool Jallopy Traxxas Slash project that I really liked.   He took a bunch of different parts that were hanging around the RC Driver office and built a …

One of the easiest ways to pick up speed is to reduce friction and binding, which is exactly what Schelle Racing Innovations, the brainchild of Kurt Wenger, looks to accomplish with their new Freespin front axles.

Usually when we see new product in the hobby world, it is based on full-scale automotive or other existing technology. While I'm sure the technology is out there, this month I have something I've never seen before. I would guess that between the original and the remake, most of us have seen one of the versions of the movie Tron

There have been countless versions of the 2wd and 4wd Slash aimed at different segments of the market. After what seemed like an eternity Traxxas recently released a brushless version of the 2wd Slash that featured a cool LCG (low center of gravity).

How do i make my vehicle go faster? These are the words most people working at a brick and mortar hobby shop probably hear more than any other. It seems that everyone wants to go faster.

By David Baker Change the color of your radio to match your ride or style I like to change anything from its box-stock form. That includes my transmitters. I was painting my radios silver long before they were available in …

Unless you live in a remote part of the world or you just got into the hobby yesterday, you know that one of the best upgrades you can add to any RC vehicle is a gear or slipper unit from Robinson Racing Products, a.k.a RRP. This month we are installing a steel spur gear to a Slash 4x4.

  A short while back I completely decked out my awesome little Losi Mini 8IGHT-T for an issue of RC Driver magazine.  I absolutely love this little truggy because of its size, many features, and that it can be easily hopped-up.  …

Greetings, tech fans! Recently I was able to assist with running a major on-road race’s tech inspection processes. This included the vehicle tech before racing as well as the motor pre-tech and post-race processes. This was not the first time I’ve done this and I always enjoy event organizing.

By the time you’re done building a chassis, painting
 the body can be a chore but this is no time to be
in a hurry. For me it is the best part of seeing an
 RC vehicle come together. When I saw the Vaterra Ascender release I just saw an awesome ‘86 K-5 Chevy Blazer body with a cool molded plastic chrome grill.

  I went back to college in early 2002 and with all the work involved I took my first, and only, break from the radio controlled scene.  Busy as a bee with my nose buried in books, months went by …

Let’s take a look at a very misunderstood part of RC cars and trucks, the BEC of your electronic speed control. This part performs an important function so understanding how it works can help you keep your electronics in good …

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.

Parma always comes up with interesting bodies that fill a niche market, and I always happen to be in that market. I loved that they made a dune buggy body for a short course chassis, and now they have come up with this, a classic car desert racer! I have seen pictures of these cars off road, and the little angel on one shoulder tells me I should stick to the theme of a classic Baja racer, but when I look at this body, the little devil on the other shoulder says, “Hot rod flames!”
