Real RC Builds.
Real Experience.
Welcome to CATXLS — a personal RC car blog covering builds, restorations, modifications, upgrades and everything I've learned along the way.
Welcome to CATXLS
RC cars, builds, modifications & advice.
I've been building, modifying and enjoying radio controlled cars for years. CATXLS is where I document the projects, the parts I buy, the modifications I make and the things I learn along the way.
Whether you're restoring an old classic, building a new kit or just getting started in RC, I hope you'll find something useful here.
