Chinese made items are only as good or bad as the QA processes that the Manufacturing customer puts in place. If the manufacturing partner “cuts corners” it’s on them to catch/fix them, or find...

Well, color me shocked…

Ultimately, I’m not sure what might have prompted this, other than some behind the scenes “disharmony” between DR and them? I mean heck, they even sent Gord and Ty to...

Well, the only things I can suggest are to make sure you wash the body with Dawn using warm water… aside from that, I do recall that if the bodies you have been trying to paint are Pro-Line (or in...

The general design was introduced on the ‘23. Here’s my take: with the changes introduced, the turnbuckle design allows for a greater degree of RC/camber change on the outside of the rear arms, by...

Hmm, interesting that it showed up on the “New Products” page and not on the main page, but anyway, as mentioned above, it’s there, and available if you want to buy it from Serpent CN direct:

RedRC always seems to publish these updates DAYS before Serpent even updates their own site, lol… but once it shows up there, they are usually available to order from Serpent CN within a few weeks,...

Serpent X20 ‘24

Well, well, what do we have here? Overall, it looks like a lot of refining, although the chassis is definitely new/updated, and because the car has new, flex shock mounts similar to other cars...

It’ll run, but I had a problem once where my car just didn’t want to start from a dead stop. Turn Marshall picked it up, had me blip the throttle, and it worked. Put it down again, nothing. He then...

Okay, I’m a little late to the topic (it’s very interesting though!), but because modern shocks in TCs are so short, isn’t the travel (dictated by the eyelet) limited anyway? If not, then I suppose...

I’m a bit of a newb myself, but I have seen discussion about the importance of preheating the engine before starting. The tolerances on modern engines are even more precise, and thus, heating the...

I agree - it wouldn’t just darken it, but because Pearl colors have some degree of transparency to them, the Silver might end up making the white “splotchy”. I’d back a Pearl with a shade of its...

Well, I guess the release of the car is now delayed a bit so that they can slap “World Champion” on the box… :D

It might be worth going into your DX5C’s model settings for your car and just make sure that it is set to the 5.5ms frame rate. That’s the best your going to get out of it. Sometimes, it defaults to...

Heh, if you’ve raced long enough, you already have inevitably gotten both the question and the response when an onlooker asks, “How much did that setup cost you?” My counter response has always been,...

Well, at this point, there’s quite a list of things on the table now, if you look at what the other manufacturers are doing. The 5.0 is a good base platform, but after the past few years of...

Or sometimes people just keep stuff when things are being cleaned out, such as when HPI/HB closed their US offices all those years ago.

Hara and his D8 Reunited!

With all the crap going on in the world, it was nice to read a feel good story for a change. Atsushi Hara was finally reunited with the HB D8 that he drove to the 2008 IFMAR 1/8th Off-Road World...

Not a lawyer here, but I think that it would depend on how exactly Horizon “bought” Trinity. It’s quite possible that they maybe have bought all of Trinity’s assets, including the name/logos/etc.,...

Yeah, I think you just need to look at your cars and decide what you need for each application. The good thing about this radio is that it supports 5 protocols, IIRC. No one says that you absolutely...

Which is the reason HV servos exist in the first place… but whatever - I totally agree with Roelof, but it’s not my money, so you keep doing you. I’ll just go on record as saying that I also think...

The reality is, people will buy this up, because there will be a scalper market for it… That being said, I really do hope this opens the door for a potential re-release next year, even though they’ve...

Obviously just a showpiece, as stated in that RedRC article. AE knows it’s audience and how much they love seeing those SLA prototypes whenever they announce a new vehicle.
