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.

Pro-Line Racing has been hard at work making some of the best upgrades and performance parts in recent years. They’ve focused on one of the largest areas of growth in the short course truck arena with different tuning kits until they recently put everything together in one box to create the Pro-2SCT kit, an all-in-one platform that brings together all the best parts and pieces.

The TEN platform from Losi has been a home run since day one. It has worked successfully as a nitro buggy, nitro short course truck, electric short course truck and has even been converted to an electric buggy. My favorite variation of the TEN platform is the Rally-X because it is well suited for on-road and off-road use and has a great look about it.

Scalers are well, scale. So when modelers are looking to create the ultimate scale machine for off-road adventures they want licensed gear to not only play the part but to deliver on performance. RC4WD, an off-road scale truck authority, partnered up with King Shocks and now offers scale replicas of these awesome dampers.

Whether you call them scalers or trail trucks, the full-scale replica world of RC is filled with skill and creativity that will amaze any RC fanatic. Modelers continually strive to build and detail trucks in their own unique ways from beat-up old trucks to highly detailed showpieces.

When I started racing radio control cars, my first race was with my Tamiya Falcom in the parking lot of a hobby shop. It was the first time I had actually run my first RC car, prior to that I had driven a friend’s car in his driveway for about a minute. At the track, I ran practice and then my father bought some on-road tires, which we fitted to the Falcon.

Using an engine heater is quickly becoming the norm on the nitro racing scene. By preheating your engine before start-up and runs, you allow the engine to start easier with less wear and tear. It also allows you to get the engine to proper running temperatures at the beginning of the race rather than later so tuning is also easy.

Novarossi set out to manufacture a well-balanced, high performance clutch and the result is what you see here. The four-shoe clutch has a balanced flywheel with four hardened steel pins to support the included aluminum and carbon friction material shoes.
