So this is my second installment to the “Road to Vintage Nationals“. I previously freshened up an RC10T. I need to run a second class so I decided to run a Gold Tub RC10. This is just like the one I started RC racing with back in 1995. This was purchased from a friend of […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Tamiya Avante 2011 Build Up
September 4th, 2013 Geo The Tamiya Avante is one of those kits that I think every kid who grew up in the 80’s wanted, and few could afford. Even the rerelease is still quite pricey. When Kevin told me that he was planning to go to the Vintage Off-Road Nationals this year, I immediately was interested in going. The […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10 Reboot
September 1st, 2013 Kevin Alright folks. This is Part 2 of my original RC10 Restoration article from WAY back in January. That article also has a lot of info about the Vintage Off-Road Nationals that all these builds are centered around. This really isn’t a part 2 though, because I pretty much scrapped that whole project. I kept a […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10T Restoration
August 29th, 2013 Jarodd When Kevin started talking about racing a “vintage” R/C race I was interested. The Vintage Off-Road Nationals race is an annual event, now held at the Bethel Raceway Arena in Bethel, CT. All cars and trucks must be made before 1994. I thought it would be fun to find the old cars and trucks, fix them up, […]

Tekno SCT410 4×4 Short Course Build Up
June 4th, 2013 Jarodd Following the conclusion of the carpet indoor season at CRC Raceway in Rome, NY I started thinking of what classes I would run for the summer. I knew I would continue 2wd Short Course, but I needed another. I have always ran two. I toyed with returning to 1/8 nitro buggy after running it for […]
Serpent Cobra 811 B-e 2.0 1/8 E-buggy Build
May 23rd, 2013 Kevin Through the long winter months, I was struggling to figure out what class I wanted to focus on running this summer for outdoor season. I was getting tired of looking at Short Course trucks. I briefly picked up a stadium truck, and ran that at Motorama. It was fun, but there was no guarantee I’d […]
Team Durango DEX408 – Build up
April 20th, 2013 Matt I recently relocated from Central NY to sunny Florida. One thing I knew about the racing scene down here before I even moved was that the biggest classes by far were 1/8 scale buggies, both nitro and electric. Last summer, I built and tested the Caster Racing EX1.5R. But as the season wound down, I […]

Unlike the other cars they have come out with which are RTR, this breath of fresh air is offered in kit form. It’s also their first real “Racing” vehicle. They offer a number of other cool cars/trucks […]
Xtreme LCG chassis for the ECX Torment – Install

The ECX brand has a line of cost effective ready to run models, ranging from 1/10th scale monster trucks to a 1/8 scale nitro buggy. The ECX Torment is great for a […]
