Some vehicles lend themselves to versatility. The Traxxas Stampede 4X4 for example; it is durable, quick, and with the number of option parts available for it there are many ways to customize it and make it your own.

Well thanks for the whirlwind of emotions Axial! Axial has this thing about them; they create RC vehicles that people can relate to on a number of levels. From offering off-road adventure machines, to scale rigs that people can customize …

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.

We caught wind of a small Facebook posted dig on RC Driver being in the dark on a news tease and after a little investigative work found Axial is going toe to toe with the Kardashians on Twitter with a …

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.

In the RC Driver workshop we’ve come up with a lot of wild builds, but we wanted to do something that strayed far from the RC norm and that’s when we saw the Tamiya Kumamon DT02 buggy. This isn’t your …

It never fails, once someone sees a huge 1/5-scale machine hit the dirt, people flock to watch it and the “want factor” of onlookers grows to immeasurable proportions. Well, we’re here to taunt you with two killer builds, one based on the Losi 5IVE-T and the other on the HPI Baja 5B. The 5IVE-T will take on a full factory option makeover while the 5B will get revamped in aluminum along with a power system swap. The two projects will showcase a load of parts to help you decide what parts are right to get for your machines. Or, if money is no object, perhaps you’ll be inspired to build some killer projects of your own.

A while back I bought myself a full sized Subaru Crosstrek XV (not an RC car).  I then proceeded to review the Tamiya XV-01 because it was the RC version of my real car and I just had to have it.  Seeing …
