We had a chance to drive the Revenge Type e buggy at iHobby 2012 and were quite impressed with it. It has finally arrived on the bench and we are eager to hit the ground running with this great-looking, beginner-friendly buggy.
Ryan Dunford joins us to discuss the TEN-SCTE 2.0. Ryan has proven that he knows what it takes to make this truck fast, both from a design and driver's perspective. The TEN-SCTE 2.0 looks to propel the platform into victory lanes everywhere.
Keeping your shocks in tip-top condition is key to the handling of your ECX Revenge Type e and Type N. The steps for replacing the oil and rebuilding the shocks on either model are identical and should take you less than 30-minutes.
We were excited to get our hands on and learn more about the 8IGHT 3.0. We caught up with two of the members of the Team Losi Racing crew; product developer Todd Hodge and team driver Adam Drake.
The Team Orion Advantage Touch Pro may look similar to its AC/DC cousin, this version has some key differences and improvements that warrant a closer look. We grabbed both the charger and some batteries and hit the bench to see how well it performed.
The Losi TEN-SCTE has undoubtedly been a fast truck right from the box but the folks at MIP have gone to work to try to make a great truck even better. MIP has recently come out with the PRO4-Mance Chassis and Tuning Kit. We hit the track in this review.
In this tutorial we show you how to rebuild the shocks on your 22-based vehicle, along with how to optimize their performance with the new bleeder shock caps.
We sat down with the developer of the Mini 8IGHT, Keith Whisler from Losi, to learn more about some of the option parts for the Mini 8IGHT, what they do and how they’ll alter the car’s performance.
With a new venue and exciting new ECX, Hangar 9, Pro Boat, Losi, Dynamite, Blade products and more, there was a lot to look forward to for iHobby 2012. We’ve gathered information on some of the top new products that debuted around iHobby
For the fourth consecutive year, the folks at RC Madness hosted the Short Course Nationals. Let’s take a closer look at each of the classes and the results.
While Pro-Line Racing has been making top-tier accessories for some years. We sat down and installed the Pro-Line Front Inboard Hub Set on both our Losi XXX-SCT and XXX-SCB and put it through its paces.
Frank Root has been one of the drivers to help test the 22SCT and bring it to life. Frank sat down with us to discuss some of the new features that have gone into the platform and how the 22SCT differs from other trucks out on the market.
We had a chance to spend some time with the Team Orion DSB-R programmer recently. When you combine the latest Team Orion ESCs and the DSB-R Programming Box, it is almost as if you have multiple ESCs in one. Let's take a closer look.
Pro-Line Racing has released a new, performance-orientated transmission that will not-only fit the 2WD Slash but also the 2WD electric Stampede, Electric Rustler and Bandit. Let’s take a closer look at this potential gamechanger.
Tamiya has strategically planned re-released kits and one of the recent re-releases is one of my personal favorites—the Stadium Blitzer. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to building.
Todd Hodge was one of the key people that helped make the 22 and 22T a reality. He spent some time with us to discuss what roll center is, how it works and why it’s important.
The 22T is the fourth-generation of racing stadium truck from the TLR designers. In all ways, the 22T has been designed to be a leaner, meaner, faster stadium truck.The 22T appears to be a game changer, and we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it.
Team Orion brings an intuitive touch screen user experience into your battery charger with the Advantage Touch charger. Combining a beautiful color touch screen with compact design, this is one charger that could change how you charge your batteries.
One of the big determining factors of your vehicle's top speed is the gear ratio of your vehicle. There’s some simple ways to get a basic understanding of what the gears in your transmission do, what changing them means and how things work.
It's amazing to see how far electric motor technology has come over the years. With all the different types of motors and technologies in use, things can get quite confusing. We're here to help demystify motor tech and provide the answers you'll need.
Thanks to their large diameter, big-bore design, they help provide the 5IVE-T with a super-plush ride, absorbing anything in its path. We show you how to easily rebuild and service your 5IVE-T Shocks.
Losi's Ryan Dunford has been hard at work to make a 3-shoe clutch for the TEN-T and 810 conversion a reality and shows us the exact steps in this handy tutorial
For the last three years the start of winter has been marked by one of the best indoor off-road races of the year. I’m of course talking about the Spektrum Electric Off-Road Championships hosted by S&N’s Trackside Hobbies in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
Rising above what previous vehicles have offered in the past, the Torment is blazing a new path and leading ECX into the future. We were quite excited to tear the box open, charge up the battery and get some trigger time in with the ECX Torment SCT.
The 5IVE-T represents the largest Losi vehicle ever produced at 1/5-scale and features some awesome performance-orientated running gear. We sat down with Losi's Gary Kyes to learn all about the initial steps of getting the 5IVE-T up and running.
Traxxas has taken that visceral connection to full-scale auto racing to the next level with their 1/16-scale Kyle Busch Camping World Truck Series replica. We tore the box open, pulled out the running gear, and prepared for a fun experience.
Team Losi Racing completely changed the landscape ofelectric off road racing with the 22. TLR is at it once again with the new 22T. 22T represents a number of changes and refinements to stadium trucks.We spoke with Todd Hodge on this latest stadium truck.
The XXX-SCB combines the looks and feel of a 2WD buggy with the size and handling of a short course truck. We put this unique buggy through its paces to see how it compares to its truck-bretheren.
Combining the exceptional suspension geometry of the 8IGHT with an all-new electric-specific drive train layout that has been optimized for brushless motors means there's a lot of new development and design that has gone into the Mini-8IGHT.
In the world of off-road RC vehicles, 1/5-scale buggies and trucks are the definitive kings of the hill. Based on the wildly successful 8IGHT™ 2.0 1/8-scale buggy, the 5IVE-T takes the platform in a bigger direction than previously imagined.
The folks at Losi have stepped up to the plate with a new variation on their TEN-T platform called the TEN-SCTE. It's time to strap in and hold on because this is sure to be a wild ride.
There's no denying that Electrix RC has absolutely nailed the entry-level audience. Their latest project, the Boost 2WD Buggy, looks to capitalize on the rebirth of the 2WD electric buggy class and provide one of the easiest ways to get into RC.
Converting your Losi 1/24 or 1/36-scale chassis to Spektrum Technology has never been easier thanks to their new conversion kits. Whether you want to go brushed or brushless there's an option here for you. Losi's Frank Root joins us to show you the steps.
The Electrix RC Ruckus 2WD Monster Truck is a perfect example of a truck that is designed to simply be fun and durable. Between the different terrain options we spent a pretty fun afternoon with the truck.
Tamiya has answered the call of collectors everywhere by re-releasing the classic Avante kit. We recently had a chance to get our hands on one to put it through the paces.
One of the biggest changes from the original DX3R on the PRO is the inclusion of a redesigned wheel mechanism that features a drop down design. Converting your DX3R PRO from drop down to standard position is relatively easy and we'll show you in a few simp
The 22 features an all-new innovative design and industry-first features. We hit the track at RJD Hobbies and Raceway to see if the 22 lives up to all the hype.
We've taken a 1/24-scale Losi Micro Chassis and merged it with one of the Losi Xcelorin Brushless systems to see exactly what is needed to perform this conversion. We've put everything together for you to follow along, both in video and written form.
The XXX-SCB features an all-new, super-narrow chassis, one of three officially licensed bodies and more. Take a look at what could be the future of 2WD buggies.
Losi has this crawling thing down. Losi's Latest crawler, the 1/24-scale Micro 4X4 Trail Trekker blazes a new path. We were able to sit down with Losi's Jacob Wright as he provides us with that "developer's eye" look into this great looking little rig.
CRC has a history of making world championship-caliber on-road cars. Their latest endevour is a Short Course Conversion for the XXX-T. We see if it lives up to the family lineage.
