Project Snowmo-Slash : Traxxas Slash with Skis and Paddles
January 8th, 2013 Kevin This article has been a year in the making.. not because of the rarity of the parts or the time involved, but because when we fixed to do this last year, we never had enough snow! Who’d have thought you could say that about Central New York? Well, we’ve had plenty this year already and […]
Pemberton Raceworks SJ-10 Chief Build Up
January 7th, 2013 Kevin Last year was my first time ever wheeling a pan car. I picked up a dirt cheap Associated L3O roller. I didn’t spend much time tuning it or trying to learn it. I just pretty much drove it as it was set up for me and it was not something I had a lot of […]

Team Durango DESC210R Kit Build Up
October 19th, 2012 Geo Over the summer I ran pro4 short course and found that the requirements of that class were high, not just for driving but for equipment. I easily found myself discouraged and exhausted from racing the class and chasing the gremlins I had with the 4wd trucks and electronics. I decided to go back to 2wd […]

Here is a very scale looking desert buggy, that is meant to go fast. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. Axial has stepped up for our […]
