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.

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 […]

I’ve been away from the hobby for quite a while, and man; how things have changed! Brushless motors, LiPo batteries, telemetry sent directly to your radio, etc., etc.; however, although all of that is amazing enough, I ha...
Derek is a huge WRC fan. One of the things he wants to do is sit in the woods with a BBQ, cooler of beer and watch a WRC event. We can all dream right. Since the WRC doesn’t come to the US, we can only do a scale rally. W...
What could be better than the ultimate LiPo charger? How about four ultimate LiPo chargers. Well, that’s what just showed up at the office in the form of an X4 AC Plus from Hitec. Expect a full review in issue #1 of VRC M...

UPDATE!!!! Official release details and pics! One may have thought that the leaked sales flyer for the new Traxxas 1/8-scale NHRA Funny Car (officially licensed too) was a cruel Traxxas April Fools joke. Traxxas doesn’t s...
Came across some news while browsing the information superhighway. Looks like J-Concepts and OC/RC Raceway are teaming up to bring the Stock Nationals to town in April. One more reason it’s great to live in Southern Calif...
