Kevin Hetmanski (47)Senior Editor
About Kevin: Simply put, I’m all about nitro. Well, almost. I’m down with electric for crawlers and some indoor racing, but if you really want to get my attention, it better make some smoke and noise. I’m a regular racer and I usually go with 1/8-scale buggy and truggy. When I’m not racing, I am usually fabricating custom parts and even entire vehicles.
Kevin’s 5 Hot Topics: Nitro, 1/8-scale, Racing, Custom Builds and Large Scale

Stephen Bess (47)Senior West Coast Editor
About Stephen: I jumped into R/C back in 1987, when mechanical speed controllers and hard rubber tires were all the rage. Since then, I’ve experienced R/C in almost every state in the USA. I've built and raced every type of RC vehicle created, and traveled throughout the country (and world) to attend and cover more R/C events than I can remember. But what a fun ride it's been! I'm fortunate to live in Southern California, and I take advantage of my location by enjoying R/C outdoors year ‘round. Club racing is the future for R/C growth, and I’m always looking to bring new people into the hobby, whether it’s through backyard bashing or organized racing.
Stephen’s 5 Hot Topics: The West Coast RC scene, nitro engine technology, local club racing, 1/8-scale off-road, brushless and LiPo technology.
