No Snow, Time for RC: Upcoming Plans
What does the future hold when you're on a production hold? From sacrificing brushed motors in the name of budget bashing to resurrecting a sentimental Tamiya Dark Impact for a father-son buggy shootout, here is a sneak peek at the projects hitting the workbench this winter. Plus, a teaser on our 6-month durability test between the Mini Slash and the Mojave Grom!
Audi Quattro: The Rally Car That Changed AWD Forever
I used to think Audis were just quirky, overpriced Volkswagens. Then I watched rally racing and realized something profound: horsepower doesn’t win races—traction does.

I give an update on the Traxxas Slash and update some of the Tamiya projects we have lying around. I also show my love for Tamiya by
Loving the TT-02RA
I review the installation of the Tamiya TT-02RA steering upgrade. We also ponder whether or not Moses played with RC cars in the wilderness. I think Chat GPT has given us ample proof that he did. Or this could just be made up. I will let you decide.

Why the Radio Controlled Cars
I confess…. I am addicted to cars. I enjoy cycling, but I love cars. I am not in a place to be Jay Leno to have my own museum so I settle for the scale models. I encourage you to try it.
