The faces and places inside RCX!

Of all the RC events that happen across the country, RCX is the only one that brings everyone together – company CEO’s, factory racers, customer service representatives, and product engineers are all here to mingle with consumers walking the show floor. Here are some of the faces we tracked down earlier today.
