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.

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 […]

Hobby Fragmentation The other day I was talking to a manufacturer who I hadn’t spoken with in a long time. It was a quick “Hey, what’s up?” call to reintroduce him to what we call “a magazine.” His reply to my askin...
On-road racing is in a “break-up” phase with the world. There are pockets of racing around the country, but the reality is it became too complicated and expensive for the average wheel to absorb. Rally Racing isn...
Derek must be on Jeff’s “week” as it’s obviously been longer than 7 days (US days, not Canadian) since you got a quick recap of what caught Derek’s attention. Before something shiny catches his eye...
If you had to make a list of the top 25 cars of all time, would you be able to do it? As you can see from the title we had to chop our list down. Why? Because we used a group voting system and some of us chose dumb, and some ch...
