Introducing the Traxxas 1:16 Slash VXL

The larger 1:10 scale Traxxas Slash is a World Champion in short course racing.  All of the technology is the same in its little brother, the 1:16 Slash VXL.  Rocker-actuated suspension, oil-filled GTR shocks, brushless technology, and everything else is under a factory painted, polycarbonate shell.  Read more...

Frank's Tank:  PN Racing Mini-Z Double A-Arm Front Suspension

And the 2009 Innovation Award* goes to……PN Racing.  Their new Double A-Arm Front Suspension System for the MR02 is crazy cool.  In the race to realism, this new system is lapping other offerings in the industry.

 
  The sheer number of parts is fairly intimidating, and I would call the installation intermediate.  But when complete, the true to life double-wishbone design offers a smooth, fully adjustable front end that allows you to adjust camber, static camber, roll center, and ride height within seconds.

Jay's Bay:  The Axial SCX10 Team Build

The Axial SCX10 is the best 1.9 scale truck kit on the market.  Wait, I think it’s the only one on the market.

But, I digress.



This was a great kit to build and it went together with ease.  With the addition of Mayhem Engineering wheels, Pro-line tires, a Novak Brushless System, and battery power from Venom, this 1.9 trail rig can go places other 1.9’s can’t tread. 


Check out the three videos I’ve produced about the SCX10 on our YouTube channel. And then, to read more about the Axial SCX10 Kit, click here.

Now in Stock:  Team Losi 1:10 Comp Crawler Race Roller
Possibly the MOST highly anticipated 2.2 Rock Crawler hit the shelves in the last month.  The Team Losi 1:10 Comp Crawler sports worm gear axles driven by a dig transmission, front and rear locking differentials, and of course a 4-link suspension.  It comes as a "Race Roller" with no battery, electronics, or motor, so you are limited only by your imagination!

We are stocking the three recommended battery choices, plus many different motor and ESC options. 

See 'em...
