In Traxxas' defense, their lawyers are too busy terrorizing the rest of the industry to waste time reading import restrictions, hazardous material handling guidelines, etc.

If I am being honest, I think the dangers of {insert item here} are often overblown.

These (crappy) photos may help. The measurements are in mm.

Why would anyone want to go to Las Vegas, NV when they could go to New Albany, IN instead?

I spent the last few years making excuses for never taking the wife to Vegas. Maybe the time has come to let her have her wish....

At least, that is what mine did back in the day. Still had a fun day, though, just ha...

Both cars were worthy of BOTM honors. Well played, gentlemen!

I was expecting the later style, with these details already in the lexan. I guess that's a good thing, right???? Now, got to find...

Very cool! There is a small but healthy RC boat racing group near me. Do you race?

Parking lot racing needs to make a comeback. Many folks don't have viable local RC tracks, but everyone has a big empty parking lot they could terrorize on weekends.

Nice! The paint scheme has a Suzuki vibe

Technically, the first 2WD offroader from Schumacher was the T402, which was a CAT without drive to the front wheels. Apparently it was atrocious in its day, but might actually go pretty well on a modern track due to the mid motor layout. The Top Cat was the first "from the ground up" 2WD ...
