Drift

Drifting:  one of the more challenging, rewarding, and misunderstood parts of RC.   A great alternative when you want to avoid the heat/cold/rain - you can spend hours perfecting your driving whether in the garage or on-track.   In this niche, the components you select are ultra-critical.  Good news, I have tested almost all of the parts on the market, so click below to see the ones I recommend:

Crawling

RC Crawling is one of the most popular forms of RC, and for good reason. You can start in them relatively inexpensively, they usually don't cost much to maintain, they are fun to take OUTSIDE to TOUCH GRASS, and are really surprising what they can drive over!

Bashing

This is where so many of us get started in RC!   Gnarly trucks and buggies running around our yard, hitting home-made ramps. Laughing and having a good time with our friends or family.    The key here is finding that balance between performance, price, and durability.  To find yours click the button below!
