The Backyard – Lotta Stuff Going On
Hello everybody and Happy Friday!
It’s been a busy week of r/c stuff! Yesterday we posted our evaluate of the CEN Racing 1/10 Sicario 4WD DL Series Dually RTR, which was the results of round every week’s price of bashing. I believe it was most likely essentially the most filthy I’ve ever had a truck post-shakedown! I needed to spend nearly as a lot time cleansing caked mud off my work bench because the truck! Totally price it although.
That’s the primary CEN Racing product I’ve had my arms on in oh, most likely 5 years or so, and I used to be impressed with the standard. They’ve upped their sport significantly.
Looking round on-line, it appears CEN Racing goes full press with a advertising blitz for the truck as vacation purchasing is about to start out heating up. It’s a pleasant platform and a cool truck, so I believe they’re most likely fairly sensible to get behind it. They aren’t the one ones to start out urgent hobbyists for his or her vacation {dollars} this week, although!
Traxxas introduced the BIGFOOT 4×4 BL-2S, and man is it sharp! THAT is how you employ the BIGFOOT license to refresh present platforms. The physique appears beautiful, replicating the basic early 90’s BIGFOOT #8 racer stripe scheme (clipless, too!), and the white wheels full the vibe.
I’m wanting ahead to getting one in all these for my assortment, and as a lifelong BIGFOOT fan I can’t wait to show it! Methinks Traxxas will promote a number of them, as the worth is correct for an excellent wanting and operating bash truck!
Yeah, I hope they do a strong axle BIGFOOT as a lot as anybody, but when they aren’t going to do this, I hope they proceed making strong use of the license. An X-Maxx BIGFOOT could be very cool, as would a TRX-4 High Trail/BIGFOOT #1!
Let’s discuss concerning the clipless physique mounts for a second, as I believe it’s pertinent given the Sicario and BL-2S bulletins. The Sicario is a really sharp rig whose appears are barely marred through the use of customary physique posts. You see it in distinction with the clear strains of the Traxxas, and it’s simply one other instance of why clipless physique methods are the way forward for r/c. As extra fashions proceed to go clipless, it makes physique posts look additional seen!
As the vacation season descends upon us subsequent week, let’s hope for one more couple of huge r/c releases to return our means! I hope you all have an exquisite Thanksgiving subsequent week!
Until subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s!
