AtomicMods goes Crawling...

We've been bitten hard by the Crawling bug!  We are committing to bring you hard-to-find hop-ups and replacement parts as well as tutorials, articles, and the best pics and videos.  Here are our current Crawler product categories:

1:10 Axial AX10 Scorpion

Perhaps the most popular entry in RC Crawling, the AX10 is what rock crawling is all about.  Option parts from 3Racing and Atomic are now available!




1:14 Duratrax Cliff Climber
The brand new 1:14 scale entry from Duratrax is a very capable truck that accepts 1:10 scale 2.2 wheels and tires.  Just this feature alone makes the Cliff Climber able to tackle pretty much anything that its larger kinfolk can handle.


1:18 Losi Mini Rock Crawler

Even newer on the crawling scene is Losi's 1:18 Mini Rock Crawler, now available!  It promises to take on any obstacles in the great indoors as well as traditional outdoor terrain.  

 


1:10 Tamiya CR01
Tamiya's CR01 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 is nothing short of an engineering marvel.  With an independent 4-link coil spring suspension and stabilizing torsion bars, the CR01 takes on any terrain.  Option parts from 3Racing and Atomic are now available!

Frank's Tank:  Building the Tamiya CR01

When you open the box containing your new Tamiya CR01 Crawler Kit, you may be intimidated.  Every single part requires assembly. 

Enter Jay Huskey, a 20 year RC enthusiast, and friend of AtomicMods.com.  Jay takes us along on his quest to build the CR01 from the ground up, highlighting important steps and showing how the "pros" do it.  Read more...

Losi Micro News:  The All New Atomic Micro BB Motor II

When the original Atomic Micro BB Motor debuted, we noted that the BB (which commonly stands for Ball Bearing) actually stood for "Brass Bushing." 

Despite this confusion, the motor outperformed the stock Micro-T motor hands down.

Now, the Atomic Micro BB has been updated with actual ball bearings and a 35T armature.  Take your Losi Micro to the next level!  Available now...



 

Mini-Z MR-02 LM Chassis Upgrades

With the availability of the MR-02 and AWD RM/MM 2.4GHz Chassis Sets, many racers are abandoning the newer LM chassis.  But with all of the aftermarket hop-ups currently available, you may give the LM a second look.

DPS Conversions, Motor Mounts, Ball Differentials, are just some of the options available.  See 'em...

Cruizes 1:24 Scale Diorama Display System

This innovative display case by Stages Display Systems  is for 1:24-1:28 scale models, which means you can display your Mini-Z Autoscales in a customizable, realistic enclosed setting.  Included are LED "flood lights," realistic lamppost, and traffic light.

The display platform will spin wheels on a free spinning chassis, so it is great for Mini-Z Autoscales. It is length-adjustable so you can display most any wheelbase. The Mini-Z Overland bodies work great, as do the 86mm Mini-Z MR-015 bodies.  Read more...

Find a Local Racing Club

We love to race, and we know you do too. We also know how tough it can be to find other racing enthusiasts, so we created this page to give you a way to connect with other racers in your local area.

You can also submit your local racing club to help other racers find you.
