    It's Chinacote, so far this seems to be a one-off color.

    I'm not overly satisfied with not being able to find a matching blue, but I think this'll do just fine.

    Not really, the brushless are the best you can buy. I'm sure a brushless aluminum case version isn't far behind. We offer both, D-Series, and Brushless, because not everybody wants to run the Brushless servos for their own reasons, even though they are superior to standard coreless digitals in...

    Finally!! Got the engine back on the nose of the Aerobeez Extra. She's looking nearly airworthy now!!! Fuel tank and plumbing went back in too. She's looking nearly flight ready. I just have a handful of things left to do, first of which is to get the throttle/choke servos mounted...

    Went to the Fly Yuma airshow this weekend at the Yuma Aeromodelers club to go hang out with buddies and get some much needed stick time in. Colton Clark and Kevin Garland were also present and we gave them quite a show. To my surprise there were probably close to 2000 spectators in attendance so...

    Installed a new trailer hitch on the airplane hauler tonight. Holy crap I would like to punch the designer of this thing in the face, it kicked my rear the whole time putting it in!!! 45 minutes to install they claim and being a bolt in assembly. Well after 2 hours I was finally ready to start...

    1/7 scale and bigger. The Traxxas X-Maxx is probably the most affordable big scale truck and comes RTR in the new 8S variant for under a grandy, plus $200+ for batteries. The 1/5 scale trucks are the biggest and baddest, and most expensive. The guys that race the 1/5 trucks usually go through...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Yup, Nitro. I spent 3-4 hours cleaning/detailing the T-Maxx, it looks almost like new again. It really needed it, there was a lot of gunk all over everything from whomever drove it last (years ago). And I had a very large assortment of T-Maxx and Revo parts show up yesterday, so I got to...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Well we are all still here. The winds were blowing a constant 25mph for about 2 hours yesterday, then it was like a light switch and it just stopped, but poured rain through the night. It's been on and off showers today, there was plenty of time to sneak in some trigger time with the truck :)...

    We've actually had the exact opposite of California weather, seems like it's been non-stop rain every weekend since the beginning of December- we're no longer in the 'drought'! I hope it's not a wet winter, it's usually warm and dry. We've got a record setting storm rolling in this weekend, the...
