  • A Test of Southern California – We took three unpainted Protoform SoCal bodies and gave them to three very different characters to see what they would do with a blank canvas – and the results were stunning in their own individual way…

  • Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk XB – At under £170, the Sparrowhawk XB is a great entry-level RC car with 4WD, oil-filled shocks and 2.4GHz radio equipment. Not only will this appeal to the first time buyer, but when we hit a local track with the buggy, it performed pretty well too in competition…
