Proline Body Mounts

If you’ve ever tried fitting an electric Slash body on a Nitro Slash, you know the frustration — they just don’t line up! In this post, I test out the Pro-Line Adjustable Body Mount Kit to see if it really solves that problem. I’ll walk you through what’s in the kit, what works, what doesn’t, and why this little upgrade earned the title of a Paulie’s Pick. Spoiler: it’s not perfect, but it makes swapping bodies a whole lot easier for anyone who loves tinkering with their RC rigs.

2S, 3S, and NiMH…. Oh My!

Inspired by a dad’s comment about the high cost of RC hobbies, this experiment tests an eBay-purchased RC truck’s brushed motor to reach 40 MPH on a budget, using a GoPro Hero 7 on a custom 3D-printed mount to record speeds across 4-6 laps in a parking lot with NiMH (~18 MPH), 2S LiPO (~25 MPH), and 3S LiPO (~25 MPH) batteries; while LiPO offered consistent performance, the GoPro’s weight caused understeer, and a potentially worn-out motor limited results, suggesting future tests with a GPS module and new motor to balance cost and performance.

My Furious Disease…. How do I ARRMA against it?

Yup, these RC trucks can be a bit addictive. However, this is not some newfound fetish or strange obsession. Well, it is partly that. It is rather to do some experimentation. This is like being in college, but with a lot more wisdom and a lot less self-harm.

Eufy… Euphoria or Epiphany…

Tired of paying for yet another subscription? So was I. That’s why I swapped out my Ring Pro for the Eufy E340 Video Doorbell—a camera-packed, subscription-free doorbell that actually lets you own your product. Two cameras, smart package alerts, no yearly fees. Yep, I’m strangely excited about a doorbell… and you might be too.

Aarma….My FURY is Released!….and I’m LOVING IT!

Unboxing the ARRMA Fury from Tower Hobbies’ Scratch & Dent section! Is this discontinued brushed short course truck still worth it in 2025? Let’s dig into the build quality, performance, and value for beginners and RC enthusiasts alike.

One Traxxas Servo Fixed

Many Traxxas owners complain about weak Traxxas servos, and I found out why. After troubleshooting my Slash Nitro, I replaced the stock servo with the EcoPower WP120T from A Main Hobbies. I demonstrate how to install the servo, and I may have switched from Hitec.

Traxxas Steering Upgrade

The stock steering on the Traxxas Nitro Slash is a weak point, so I upgraded to the aluminum Traxxas 3743A bellcrank with built-in bearings. The install took some patience—removing the bumper, servo arm, and loosening the chassis—but the result is tighter, smoother steering and better durability. Combined with upgraded tires, the Slash becomes a fun, drift-happy nitro truck that just needs a little tuning to shine.

Badland Tires: Sometimes a Badland is the Perfect LAND!

I try out the Proline Badlands tires! The tires are absolutely amazing. The Slash is a whole new truck. That is, until the steering broke. OH well, what is one more upgrade? Anyway, we spend the time reviewing the Proline Badlands tires.

The Slash Slays!

When a USPS alert feels like Santa’s text, you know it’s a good day. My order from A Main Hobbies brought Proline Badlands tires for the Slash. Now I was free to do a science experiment: could it drive with just foam and no tire? Turns out… yes, with glorious donuts and burned foam. Here’s the story, the laughs, and the nitro-fueled fun.

Resurrecting the Slash… Sorta

Ever felt judged by your half-broken RC truck? Paulie did. This post chronicles the attempts of resurrecting the Nitro Slash. I install new caster blocks, discover my failed glow ignitor, try to do foam-only tire runs, and consider the deeper joy of redeeming what’s broken. Get ready for nitro-fueled chaos, honest product thoughts, and maybe a few life lessons along the way.

Antidote Rooftop Tent

The Antidote tent is sleek with a fiberglass shell (yes, like a Corvette), standing room inside, and a universal mounting system; it’s both practical and fun. Antidote’s customer service is top-notch, and the tent’s durability holds up provided that you close it. If you’re tired of Yakima prices and want a rooftop tent that works without the drama, this might be your antidote.

Miata MX-5: Hairdresser’s Car or Just FUN?

I went to Portland for some meetings. The highlight? A spontaneous fling with a Mazda MX-5 RF rental. I used to laugh off Miatas as “hairdresser’s cars,” but after two days of commuting and carving through Mt. Hood's twisties, I’m rethinking everything. It’s not the fastest, but it might be the most fun I’ve had on four wheels.

KTM LC8: Not a Katoomer…It’s the BOMB!

I have the opportunity and privilege to ride a KTM LC8. It is a very nice bike, and it is incredibly fun to ride. This bike ends up being a Paulie’s pick.

Harley Davidson V-Rod… or V-Rad? (For Sale)

There was a time many moons ago where motorcycles were a very big part of my life. I know that there are many 'communities' however, there is nothing like the motorcycling community. I honestly have no idea what it is, but people just geek out over each other’s bike. People love to swap lies… I mean tell stories… about the big ride or the crazy ride. If the person is a good storyteller, you can kill some valuable time and not even feel bad for procrastinating.

I had an F650 Dakar. Man, I loved that bike. I rode that bike everywhere. I remember…. (insert squeaky wiggle voice while standing and hobbling over a cane)… when my wife would leave for work and I would jump on the bike. At that time we lived in California and I loved riding the Sierra Nevada mountains. I still think that California has some of the best roads to ride in this great nation of ours.

Fast forward to today… I was visiting an elderly widow in my congregation… He had a Harley Davidson V Rod… Now, I am not really a Harley guy... So, why would this bike intrigue me you might ask?
