Fast Eddy bearings have been around for a while (since 1999 to be exact), with their beginnings as an OEM bearing supplier for many major RC companies. In 2006 Fast Eddy Bearings began producing and selling their own products under the brand Team FastEddy.

Axial’s release of the Yeti may have been 2014’s biggest highlight for scale off-road enthusiasts. While it appeared to be a cross between the Exo Terra and the Wraith, the true beauty of the Yeti was its removable roll cage.

Time flies! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I reviewed the original Raider buggy, but I guess it has been a few years now. Since then the Raider has proven itself as a favorite among bashers, due to its great handling, durability, and many unique features.

I own a pretty large laptop; it’s a 17-inch HP that I use on a daily basis to run Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, web programs, etc.; let’s just say it’s a pretty major workhorse. It travels to and from work every day, requiring me to carry it in a sizeable backpack.

If you’ve been around a spell, you’ll know that the Fighting Buggy was once called the Super Champ. This vehicle was released back in 1982 and was actually my first experience with RC. My mom bought the Super Champ for my dad for Christmas. During the time he was building it, I remember sitting next to him, watching impatiently for it to be done so we could take it for a spin.

Tactic has made a name for them- selves with their easy-to-use, feature packed and frugally priced aircraft transmitters, but it has been a while since they gave any great deal of attention to their radios on the surface side. The wait is now over though, with the release of the TTX300.

By now we’ve all seen the ad that had everyone who has ever picked up an RC transmitter buzzing. I’m of course speaking of the 30-second spot during the big game in February where a 1/10-scale car came drifting onto our TVs. Anyone who follows Team Associated knew that they had partnered with Lexus to bring this awesome commercial together.

It’s no secret that there are tons of chargers on the market today, each battling for a spot in your pit box or on your home bench, many with different features. So what makes the brand new Dynamite Prophet Precept stand out over the rest?

The Verdict 12SC is one of Helion's many offerings geared toward entry level RC enthusiasts. It is a compact 1/12-scale platform that is light and easy to transport to your favorite driving destinations. The Verdict comes ready to hit the track

To date, the lineup of vehicles bearing the name Basher RC from HobbyKing has been, well, limited to basher style vehicles. However, this latest release, the BZ-222 buggy is track ready right out of the box.

Over the many, many years I have been involved with hobby level radio control vehicles I have never had a truggy. Monster trucks, yes, 1/8 buggies, sure, but a truggy has never been in my fleet. Then, I saw the new ARRMA Talion and my eyes opened wide like a kid viewing his haul of presents on Christmas morning.

Whether you call them sedans or touring cars there’s no denying that these sleek machines are some of the most fun and scale- looking RC cars you’ll find anywhere. Often featuring officially licensed bodies and extra scale features like mirrors, wings or lights, these are the closest we really get to functional scale models.

Losi has been releasing hit vehicles of all shapes and sizes for years and years now. What they do exceptionally well with these releases is re-evaluate them after they have been on the market for some time and update them with the latest and greatest technology to keep them relevant.
