oOple builds the Tamiya TRF 501X Categories - Tamiya, Electric Off Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
Red RC isnt the build and review type of site, we like to just carry product and racing news and other interesting bits but we always make an exception for when oOple does a build and review article, they are the absolute best you can get. This time round Jimmy has built the all new Tamiya TRF 501X and as usual he has gone into all the fine details and pictured everything along the way and then compared it to other similar cars on the market, not only all that but he has thrown in an interview with team driver Hubert Hönigl too.
Just check it out here and while your there check out the TrakPower 4900mah LiPo review too.

The Tamiya MSXX Categories - Tamiya, Electric On Road, Cars, Products - comments closed
The Tamiya MSXX was shown for the first time at the Tamiya World Cup event held last month and it has been talked about a lot since. What we know is that it’s basically the same as the Rheinard edition but it it has been downgraded to have dual one-way units, steel screws and steel axles to make it more affordable. If you didnt know already, now you do.
