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. One of the Comical Tamiya Avante which is now AWD! Arrma has been batting 1,000 with some sick releases and we finally got our […]
Velocity RC Cars Magazine Issue 40 – VRC_040 It’s summer, or is it spring. Life has been hard on this planet for some, but somehow we still make a magazine. What’s the best part of this issue? No, it’s not the rad reviews, or the servo article…sure it might be the paint article we ran […]

Here’s a little gallery of our time with the Duratrax Evader BL. The stadium truck is super fast, durable and a blast to just drive up and down the street ripping wheelies. Want to see more? Want to learn more about it? P...
We have a Facebook page which alerts you of new issues and discusses random magazine “stuffs” but we’re expanding to a closed group. This is where we can get to know each other better, help more, sell more and...

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,...
To an RC enthusiast venturing into 1/8 scale for the first time, working on the differentials can be intimidating (and, worst case scenario, discouraging). “Can I assemble these and keep them from leaking?”, “Look at this...
Our hobby is 2 parts – one part driving and the other spending ours repairing, upgrading, tuning, cleaning, and sitting in the garage with a beer pretending to do all of those things. We’ve been creating content for the...
Remember when Viper made car alarms that talked? Yeah, when people maybe thought that your car talking was scary and wouldn’t steal your Alpine. The Viper RC speed control doesn’t talk to you, but it will power any ...
