If you grab the throttle and your RC car immediately hooks to the left, spins out, or unloads all its power into a single tire that balloons into a pizza cutter, you do not have a motor problem. You have a differential problem.

If your RC car is suddenly bouncing down the street like a pogo stick, or you are "slapping the chassis" on the dirt every time you land a small jump, it is time to look at your suspension.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of raw power as you blast your RC basher through a mud bog, power-slide across a dusty baseball diamond, or carve a 1/10 scale sprint car through the loam of a dirt oval track. The mud is part of the fun.

Off-road buggies and truggies are the undisputed kings of the dirt. Whether you are launching a 1/8 scale truggy off massive ramps at the local bash spot or threading a 1/10 scale buggy through a highly technical clay track, these vehicles are subjected to extreme abuse.

Every RC hobbyist eventually faces the same rite of passage: you break a part, grab the tiny, cheap silver L-wrenches that came free in the box, and immediately strip the head out of a stubborn screw.
