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 […]

Tamiya CC-01 Unimog Upgrades Installation
September 12th, 2012 Kevin So you guys might remember my Tamiya CC-01 Unimog Build from last year. It was a lot of fun, and even though I don’t get to run that truck much..

SSC Slash 4×4 Stage IV Upgrades
September 4th, 2012 Matt We recently posted our LCG Slash 4×4 shootout. This shootout consisted of us taking three stock Traxxas Slash 4×4’s, and slapping on three different LCG chassis to see which one would come out on top. These were all built using the stock electronics, stock suspension, and stock bodies. It showed what you could do by […]

August 31st, 2012 Kevin The T-RCE slash from the Slash 4×4 LCG Shootout has def. seen some track time. Stage 2 was a marked improvement.
