Team Associated/JConcepts’ Spencer Rivkin proved to be unstoppable during the seeding round as the young Arizona native has taken top honors in all 4 modified classes at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nats! Having only 3 minutes to put in his fastest 3 consecutive laps, Rivkin was first able to top seeding in the modified short … Continue reading
There seems to be some serious hotness to steering racks in the world of RC racing right now. For instance, we have TLR going to a bell crank system instead of it’s original slider design on the 1.0 and 2.0 cars. You can now purchase aluminum upgrades by all the major RC manufacturers like Kyosho’s gunmetal … Continue reading
More performance? Quicker, more reliable steering? Affordable price? Now you can have it all with JConcepts’ new aluminum steering bellcranks for your RB6 and RT6 (soon?). I remember back in the day when everyone ran servo savers or plastic servo horns, plastic steering racks, plastic bellcranks etc…. was all because racers wanted to protect the … Continue reading
You know, I was wondering when they would release this for the 22 series cars since they made one for the RB5/RB6 platform and finally here it is! I’m a huge fan of Avid as I’m always finding myself TRYING NOT to buy everything they make. The shock stand offs, the springs, the triad slipper … Continue reading
So……. The Tamiya 2wd gets it’s first MAJOR update in a long long time (I’m thinking The Goonies to The Goonies 2 long). It’s good to see Tamiya still caring about their off-road vehicles and still pushing hard to make their 2wd better. Rumors have it…this is all for the IFMAR Worlds Championship as it … Continue reading
Exotek has done it again. This is another fine release from the upgrade company for one of the most desirable up-gradable parts on the RB6. If you tried to buy the genuine Kyosho aluminun RF2 blocks on the internet, you’ve probably been accustomed to seeing “Back Order” or “Sold Out” at every major online RC retailer. … Continue reading
Yaiba is one of those interesting brands out there that no one really knows much about. The only thing people really know is that it’s a Japanese company making upgrades for various cars. Oh and that everything they make comes in red! I believe Yaiba is the spin-off company of Tresrey, whom makes upgrades strictly for the … Continue reading
Tresrey has been working really diligently on making hop-ups for the Durango DEX210 and here is their latest development for this platform and all I can say is WOW! The craftsmanship looks absolutely amazing. I’m really excited to see companies pushing the envelope and releasing products that can help aid us drivers in going faster and faster. … Continue reading
Titanium SCREWS………….YES PLEASE! With a little snooping around I found images of 2 more new upgrades available for the RB6 with a tentative release date sometime in February. Save your money! I know the titanium screw set from Kyosho isn’t going to be a budget set. Expect the ultra quality Japanese quality from Kyosho. Also, … Continue reading
I had a hunch that Kyosho would start to produce their own aluminum upgrades and here is their 1st piece. Although there are aftermarket companies already producing this piece….they don’t do it in Gunmetal! Or at least…..what Kyosho calls gunmetal. As of now, UMW701 is not on the US website, however it is the Kyosho … Continue reading
