Ah, yes. The Tamiya Clodbuster. If you had an RC in the 1980’s, there is a pretty good chance you had a Tamiya. And if you had a Tamiya, chances are you WANTED a Clodbuster! Tamiya USA has once again come to the table in a big big way for our annual Children’s Miracle Network […]

Traxxas Slash 4×4 LCG Build – Shining Star Chassis
May 27th, 2012 Matt If you’ve been with us for a few months, you’ve probably seen our Traxxas Slash 2wd LCG Chassis Shootout. The original two wheel drive Traxxas Slash started the short course craze. It was only natural that Traxxas would release a four wheel drive version. The Slash 4×4 was released in late 2009, and race classes […]
Caster Racing EX1.5R Buggy – Build
April 23rd, 2012 Matt This year I decided it was time to jump into the ever growing 1/8 Electric Buggy class. I could have gone with one of the more mainstream rides, but when I saw the Caster Racing EX1.5R I was intrigued. First of all I wanted a kit. I enjoy building my cars first, because it makes […]

Tamiya Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie Build Up
January 23rd, 2012 Kevin After attending the 2011 Big Bird Pull, I was on the lookout to build a puller of our own for RC Soup. The 2wd Box Stock class uses any 2wd truck with a stock motor and 6 cell battery. The class is an entry level class as far as pulling goes, there’s not much you […]

Project Overkill: RJ Speed Digger
December 19th, 2011 Kevin Recently I acquired a gently used Castle Creations CM36 9,000KV motor. This is the fastest 1/10 motor Castle makes. I looked at their site regarding this motor (they have a specific page for it HERE). From there you will find your way to an advisory page where it states to NEVER use this in a […]
WMD Eliminator LCG Slash Chassis – Build up
December 9th, 2011 Matt In our seemingly perpetual pursuit for the perfect 2wd Traxxas Slash, we come across the Eliminator LCG chassis from WMD. WMD is a small company, making custom RC parts in a small machine shop. WMD doesn’t yet have a website, but they can be contacted through their Facebook page. This has to be the most […]

Tamiya CC-01 Mercedes-Benz Unimog Build Up
November 18th, 2011 Kevin Another Tamiya build! I really can’t say enough about how much I love a Tamiya build. Having been into plastic models as a teenager, I really love building kits. It brings back fond memories. If you’re going to build a kit, you might as well go with one by one of the best kit manufacturers […]
