> Tamiya TNX 5.2R Review
The Tamiya TNX 5.2R has come to new heights since Tamiya first launched the TNX series in mid 2004. The older TNX 3.0 was heavier, had air leaks in the fuel tank, and generally was a lot weaker. Now, the new and improved TNX 5.2R is loaded, at 1/8th scale and from 2-speed transmission to super tough steel drive shafts, this thing will blow your mind. It’s contenting for top spot for 2007’s best gas powered monster truck, with good reason. But what makes this RC monster truck so great? Lets take a look at some of the pros and cons of the TNX 5.2R, although, there’s not very much negatives to say about this mean machine!

> Nitro vs Electric RC Cars - Who Wins?
Generally, Electric RC Cars are slower than nitro. That’s just when you’re buying stock from hobby shops, etc. BUT, if you’re an RC racer, then electric can mean way faster speeds… RC Driver magazine has an article published that puts these two head to head. So which one’s better? Click here to find out!
