New AtomicBuilt:
The Mini-Z MR-02 Alpha |
|
 Just
as the name suggests, this
new AtomicBuilt is designed to be an entry-level car in what is
usually the "Stock" class at most Mini-Z races.
The parts included are what we consider the most important in
order to be competitive in the stock class at local, national,
or even world class events.

Cristian's Corner:
Rebuilding Your 1:18 Motor |
|
 Electrical
motors get worn out over time. If you don't service them, the
performance drops severely, which eventually leads to motor
failure.
I wrote a tutorial showing you how to properly rebuild an
electric motor. The process is the same whether the motor is 130
size (like a Mini-Z) all the way to a 540 size (like 1:10 scale
cars). For the tutorial, we used a 280 size, 1:18 scale
motor. Our lathe of choice is the
Integy Xipp Perfect Lathe 2, since it allows us to cut
motors from 130 all the way to 550 size.
If you follow the tutorial, you should have all
your old motors running like new!

The Duratrax Vendetta: First
Impressions |
 The
Duratrax Vendetta and Vendetta ST are newcomers to our
already-extensive product mix in 1:18 scale. The first
thing we noticed about the Ready-to-Run was the unequaled value.
It comes with EVERYTHING! No other 1:18 scale RTR gives
you this much fun out of the box.
In typical AtomicMods style, Cristian took his Vendetta to the
track to gather some first impressions.

Setting up the Associated RC18R |
|
 Team
Associated's RC18 series of vehicles is might be one of the
most (if not THE most) versatile Radio Controlled Car Platforms
out there.
It started
life as a Stadium truck, then underwent a couple of minor
changes so it could be run as a buggy and later on a Monster
Truck.
The latest addition to the line up is the RC18R.
