What’s Hooking Up at the 1/8 Off-Road Worlds?

What’s Hooking Up at the 1/8 Off-Road Worlds?

Tires are always a hot topic at any race and at the Worlds they are more critical than ever. The surface is like concrete and this makes for high traction, but also eats tires. This isn’t that unusual, but the sections with tiles and astroturf add another completely different element that forces the drivers in […]
Up Close With the IFMAR 1/8 Worlds Track

Up Close With the IFMAR 1/8 Worlds Track

It seems that whenever countries in far away lands host a race, Americans have a culture shock. I’m not talking about eating some exotic foods, or some funky language dialect, but their reaction to the actual track itself. What at first appears like a challenging layout slowly reveals its teeth as I take a closer […]

We’re In Italy: 2014 IFMAR 1/8 Scale Nitro Off-Road Championships

We’re In Italy: 2014 IFMAR 1/8 Scale Nitro Off-Road Championships

Two layovers and 20 hours is roughly how long it takes to fly from Orange County, California, to Catania, Italy. This means waking up at an ungodly hour, packing the car up with smokin’ coffee in hand, making haste with crusty eyes half shut, traveling to the airport going Mach 5, and standing in line […]

We’re sorting through all our RCX stuff (so…much…stuff) for RCX recap stories, stay tuned for those. In the meantime, we’ve got loads of photos to share, these are just a few of the hundreds! Hopefully these pics make you say, “I was there, that was awesome,” rather than “I wish I could have gone,” but […]

The Losi guys are wowing the crowds at RCX with sub-orbital sky shots, proving just how tough the Losi 5IVE-T platform is.

Now That’s a Big Bruiser

Now That’s a Big Bruiser

The Tamiya Bruiser is already hefty piece of hardware in 1:10 scale–here it is in 1:1 scale! This full-size Toyota pickup has been lovingly detailed to capture the stance and style of Tamiya’s iconic off-roader, and it truly is a thing of beauty to see in person. Though it appears to be a full runner, […]
Rotor Drones? More like ROBO Drones!

Rotor Drones? More like ROBO Drones!

Cal-Poly is here at RCX, with students who are programming their rotor drones to fly autonomously. Sounds pretty cool, until they become our flying robot overlords and begin stealing old people’s medicine for fuel.
