I bought the Losi Tenacity on a whim after watching one too many YouTube unboxings, and I fully expected to be disappointed within a week. That did not happen. A few months and several trashed tires later, I finally have enough seat time to tell you exactly what this truck gets right and where it … Read more
Somewhere between my third stripped diff and the moment my neighbor asked why my backyard sounded like a monster truck rally, I realized I needed to actually figure out which of these two beasts deserved a permanent spot in my garage. Both the Arrma XRT and the Traxxas X-Maxx promise the same thing on paper: … Read more
I’ve snapped more front axles than I want to admit, all in the name of finding an off-road RC car that could handle my backyard without falling apart by lunchtime. My first one lasted exactly one afternoon before a chassis crack ended the fun. The second one drowned in a puddle that was maybe two … Read more
Granite Grom RC Car Review I picked up the Granite Grom on a whim after a rough week, thinking it would just sit in a closet like half my other impulse buys. That was three months ago, and the thing still lives in my trunk. If you’re on the fence about grabbing one, I’ve got … Read more
RC Drift vs Touring Car – Which One Is More Fun? A few years back, I honestly thought every on-road RC car was basically the same. If it had four wheels, a brushless motor, and looked fast, I figured I’d have a good time. After spending weekends with both drift cars and touring cars, I … Read more

Instead, I burned through two battery packs without even noticing how much time had passed. I also realized pretty quickly that this wasn’t just … Read more
The first time I had to choose between an HPI and a Traxxas, I spent way too long standing in my local hobby shop staring at the shelves. Both looked awesome. Both had great reviews. And everyone seemed convinced that their favorite brand was the only right answer. Fast forward a few years, and I’ve … Read more
The first RC car I ever bought was way faster than I was ready for. I thought more speed meant more fun, but after hitting a curb in less than five minutes, I realized I’d fallen for the marketing instead of thinking about how I’d actually use it. Looking back, I would’ve enjoyed the hobby … Read more
The first RC car I ever bought for dirt was a complete disappointment. It looked awesome online. Huge tires, aggressive body, all the marketing buzzwords you could imagine. But the first time I took it to a local dirt field, it spent more time spinning its tires than actually moving forward. That experience taught me … Read more
