January 9, 2009 in Reviews | no comments

Last month we told you about Motor Saver redesigning their air filters, this month we take a look at the Motor Saver 1/8th buggy/truggy air filter!

Received my Motor Saver large 1/8 buggy/truggy air filter. My intentions were to use it on my Ofna Hyper 7 PCR Pro. When I received the filter first thing I noticed was how huge it was, especially compared to the Motor Saver filter I already had on the buggy.

RC4WD Full Metal X11 Piggyback Shocks

October 29, 2007 in RC4WD, Reviews, Suspension | no comments

“Look at the size of those shafts”. That’s what I said when I opened the package containing a set of RC4WD’s X11 Full Metal Heavy Duty Shocks. The shafts are an impressive 3.5mm in diameter. Easily the largest I have seen for 1/8 scale shocks. As I frantically opened the individual wrapped packages containing the shocks, I was treated to machining quality that is some of the best I have seen for an RC product. The fit and finish is fantastic. Even the treaded shock collar is silky smooth.

For those who hate to build shocks you’re in luck. The RC4WD Full Metal X11 Piggyback Shocks come pre-built from RC4WD. They have even taken the time to add lubrication to the lower seals to prevent damaging them during assembly and operation when folks compress the shock before adding shock oil.

N-Tune tuning dials

N-Tune tuning dial package

Ever walk through a store and see some little gadget on the shelf and think to yourself “DUH! Why didn’t I think of that?”? Something so simple but so useful that it seems amazing that it took this long for someone to actually make it? Well that’s the first thing that went through my mind when I saw the N-tune by
RC Hardware.

How many times have you read tuning advice that would suggest richening or leaning your high-speed needle by 1/8 turn or better yet “1 hour”? Sometimes it takes practice to really get the hang of what that means. And how many times have you been adjusting your carb and realized that it was running better at a previous setting? If only you could remember what that setting was. With the N-Tune, it makes adjusting your needle as easy as setting your watch. And returning to previous settings is a snap.

Racers Edge REVO Shock Ends

April 2, 2005 in Reviews | no comments

On the original shipment of REVOS, it soon became obvious that their was a flaw in the design of the shaft side shock ends. After just a small amount of use the plastic ends would elongate or simply just snap off. Traxxas was fast to release an updated plastic replacement and aftermarket companies like Racers Edge were fast to come out with alloy replacement parts for those who wanted something more durable.
