Why is dirt oval not that popular?

Why is dirt oval not that popular?

I must admit that in all the years that I have been involved in this great hobby of ours, I have never been interested in racing oval or even running a car on an oval track. Going straight and making left turn after left turn just seemed to be pretty boring. They were just one […]

Traxxas 4-Tec Workbench Project

Traxxas 4-Tec Workbench Project

Workbench Project: Traxxas 4-Tec Well, here is another one of my crazy project’s. You see, in my garage of RC vehicles I have this. A Traxxas 4-Tec from a few years ago. I won’t lie, it is beat. I know it’s not a racer, but rather a basher. I had a hard time tracking down […]
Camaro Phantom SS

Camaro Phantom SS

I recently completed a police car project, but what good is law enforcement without some criminals to chase around?  Fellow RCCA contributor Eric J. Miller was happy to oblige in this regard, and requested an illegal-looking car body for his TC4 drifter. Eric settled on one of HPI’s awesome new Camaro 1/10th sedan shells in […]

Charge those LiPo’s with care.

Charge those LiPo’s with care.

I have been around the block a few times when it comes to charging batteries–been doing it a long time. So, when I see my fellow enthusiasts who treat their NiCd & NiMH batteries with such care, but take very little interest in proper charging of LiPo batteries, I am disappointed.  I mean, these same guys were religious […]
Don’t Forget The Basher

Don’t Forget The Basher

I love RC racing, but it simply isn’t for everyone. Competitive rock crawling is the same. Not everyone is going to be attracted to higher level competition and the commitment it takes to really perform at a satisfactory level at either a race or a rock crawling event. That’s why I wish more hobby shops […]

When Should I Move Up to the Next Class?

When Should I Move Up to the Next Class?

Moving up in classes can sometimes be a hard thing to judge. Advancing depends mostly on your driving and wrenching skills but may also you may also have to take into consideration your competition or if you are moving from novice to intermediate or intermediate to expert. I will brush on both areas. I wish […]

Limited Traction takes one-two in Hyper Drift night comp

A short while ago I got a chance to check out one of Hyper Drift’s awesome events – specifically, the McCarthy Ranch night competition I posted a couple weeks ago.  The entire HD crew was in attendance and they put together an absolutely incredible, fully-lit layout complete with grass infields and a scale garage row.

Will there ever be a short course Worlds?

Will there ever be a short course Worlds?

With the IFMAR 1/10-scale Electric off-road worlds taking place last weekend, I started thinking. It seems like the few IFMAR world championships that we have are limited to a handful of classes. I assume that the classes that have IFMAR World Championship are the best of the best classes and therefore the most popular ones. […]

The History of RC

The History of RC

While I’m sure many of us who have been around the hobby a while could do an adequate job of putting the pen to paper so to speak and come up with a decent account of the history of RC. But, adequate is just, well, just another word for mediocre. As a community we could […]
The Future Of RC Is In Their Hands.

The Future Of RC Is In Their Hands.

I was thinking the other day about how every time I go out and drive around with my RC in and around the neighborhood I often get the neighborhood kids asking the common question “Can I try?”  Look at this way, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but the future of the RC hobby is […]
