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 […]

Tekno started out making wing mounts for a REVO and has taken that love of aftermarket perfection more than just 1 step farther, but more like however steps it takes to run a marathon! The new EB48 (boo on the name) is the resu...

Over the past year or so I’ve been racing a decent amount of indoor carpet offroad at my local track and it’s been great! I often analogize it to racing 1/12 scale with jumps because it is a very precise form of off...
So I’m at the track the other day and my car is pushing really bad into the sweeper – then all of a sudden I realize that I don’t have a steering servo mounted in my car! Good thing Hitec just sent us a box of...
Everybody says that magazines don’t “test” their cars right. They don’t beat them to death, they don’t run them long enough. Pretty pictures never tell the tail of testing in full. So we figured we...
We love free things, and there is nothing better than getting to taste the deliciousness we call Velocity RC Magazine. We reviewed the Traxxas Rally and now we want to share our thoughts and let everybody see how only VRC Mag d...
