Traxxas Slash 4x4 RC Truck

The Traxxas 2wd Slash was a big hit. But being 2wd, it was difficult to drive in off road tracks due to lack of rear wheel grip.

That problem is now solved with the Traxxas 4x4 Slash... 4wd with monster brushless power!

RC Cars RTR Website

Hi, I've been updating my RCCarTips.com website since 2003. But with over 290 pages, it is getting difficult to organize the topics logically.

So rather than revamping, I decided to create a new site where I will be posting on a regular basis tips, guides and best topics when it comes to rc cars. The site is called RCCarsRTR.com. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment.



If you would like to be a contributor or share your rc pics and knowledge just let me know, I'll post it. Rest assured a lot of people will get to read it as my old website has over 10,000,000 page views. Just write me an email at rccartips@hotmail.com.

Thanks and have a nice halloween weekend.

Tamiya F104 Ferrari F60

Video of the new Tamiya Ferrari F60 formula 1 car... officially licensed by Ferrari.



With rubber tires, the Tamiya F104 Ferrari F60 must be one of the most realistic F1 rc car I've seen. Take a look at the pic courtesy of Tamiyausa.

- TEU 104BK electronic speed control
- 540 motor

RC Drift

Hi, lately I've been focused on rc drift cars. Being a fan of initial d, I sought out to replicate, true 1/10 scale, the Toyota Trueno AE86 car of Takumi. Here are some photos, hope you like them.
