Tamiya TT-01 – Yeah Racing Shock Upgrade
We picked up this Tamiya TT-01E a while back, and we’ve been waiting for an opportunity to dig into it. Its a fun car to drive stock, but there are a few areas where we feel the performance could be greatly improved with a little work. One of the easiest upgrades is in the suspension. […]
Arrma Raider BLX Unboxing
Last year, we reviewed the Arrma ADX-10. At that time, the entire Arrma line was only available with brushed motors and speed controls. Now they’ve released brushless versions of each of the vehicles, so we just had to try one again. I loved the looks of the Arrma Raider and decided to give it a […]
Exotek Steering Rack Conversion for Losi 22/T/SCT
There is no shortage of hopup parts for Losi’s 22 series of vehicles, some of them are for bling (do people still use that word?) others for function. Exotek’s Steering Rack Conversion kit covers both. I had noticed that the steering rack in my 22SCT had become quite sloppy over this summer racing season so […]

Team Durango DEX408 Review
We built this Team Durango DEX408 a few months back. It was a great build, and we couldn’t wait to get it on the track. And that, as they say, is where the story begins…. We had some electronics issues out of the gate that delayed us getting this car on the track. On initial […]
Hands on: Duratrax 19-in-1 Tool Set w/Pouch For Traxxas
This is the Duratrax 19-in-1 Tool Set for Traxxas Vehicles. It’s meant to be a basic, all-in-one tool set to keep your r/c maintenance easy. It’s marketed for Traxxas vehicles (with their popularity, you can probably understand why) but it’s really pretty useful to work on any R/C and has most common size tools used. […]
