DEX410R Wins on its first outing

The DEX410R may not be available yet, but it's already won its first race. Check the details here, and you can see the setup sheet for the winning car here.

On another happy bit of Team Durango news, they've secured a distributor for the US and Canada, HRP. It just so happens HRP has recently added a warehouse on the east coast, and it's in FL. (3rd paragraph down mentions the new FL warehouse)

Handling Basics

Some reading for anyone who's ever wanted to know what camber is and what it does, along with all the other nifty words you hear associated with setting up your car, like toe and antisquat.

Nice, plain english article on RC Car Magazine.

Another mostly plain english guide.

Finally, a bit stripped down, but makes it easy to find what you need.

Blitz Setup and Tech

Found a great resource for the HPI Blitz trucks, plenty of setups, information on tearing it down and rebuilding, along with tips for helping it perform better.

Get it all right here.
