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.

VRC_018 will feature our full review of the Tamiya 419. Touring cars are amazing, freakish machines capable of blistering speeds and face distorting G-force. We tested one of the world’s best and the results were actually...
