This issue was a soul searching, character building, nightmare. I though we’d get past the COVID issues from the last issue but it didn’t happen. But good news, this issue is out and we’ve upgrade a few things to get back on track and continue the magazine into the future. What’s in this issue? Features […]
2020 was a nightmare, and it looks like we screwed up the start of 2021…at least for us. This issue comes late unless you just subscribed…then it’s on time. Inside you’ll find our review of the amazing Element RC Builders Edition GateKeeper. Sure we technically ran it almost a year ago, but it might be […]
Many have been stuck inside for months, or you’re out partying like it’s 1999. Either way, a good RC read is always satisfying. In this issue, we’ve got some strange reviews.

Don’t sweat the Vanilla Ice reference…we’re old like that. M.I.P has been quiet for years, but now has stirred up some new tricks with a lot of new products. The most surprising is a performance upgrade for th...
I pity the fool who doesn’t like the A-Team. Trucks have been out shadowed by other trucks these days (Short Course) but the fact is racers still like the open wheeled version and the newest from Team Associated is now in...
Pro-Line has been your tire choice for over 30 years, and they have dipped their toe into the kit market, but this new 1/25 scale Scale/Trailer Ambush had us scratching our heads. Will we finally love an micro kit? Tiny screws,...
