Corolla Levin beater

Corolla Levin beater

My new HPI Cup Racer came with a cool Toyota Corolla Levin body, but there was one problem: I had no idea how I wanted to paint it.  I browsed hundreds of Levin and Trueno photos but nothing really inspired me.  Then, by random chance, I was flipping through my old copies of RC Car […]
RC Pearls of Wisdom

RC Pearls of Wisdom

Fathers are always good for some pearls of wisdom, and with this being Father’s Day, it got me thinking about some RC pearls of wisdom I’ve heard and passed along over the years. My number one piece of RC sage advice is: Slow is fast. This holds especially true for off-road racing, but it’s sound […]

Go-anywhere RCs – Which are best?

Go-anywhere RCs – Which are best?

The official start of summer is right around the corner, but as far as I’m concerned it’s in full swing.  The weather is nice, backyard barbecues are a daily event, and probably half the people I know are off to the beach somewhere on vacation.  I have quite a few trips coming up myself, and […]
What a vacation!

What a vacation!

I recently got back from a week off and during that time I did one of my favorite things; worked on RC. I’m getting myself ready for our Race for a Cure at the end of the week and it was nice to be able to spend the time to get things just right on […]

The RC Industry: We Are Family

The RC Industry: We Are Family

I had the privilege to meet Mike Reedy for the first time many years ago at an IFMAR Worlds event, and although I didn’t know Mr. Reedy as well as many in our industry, I knew immediately that Mr. Reedy was a kind hearted man of character.  In the RC racing industry, Mr. Reedy was […]
Workbench essentials: Utility shears

Workbench essentials: Utility shears

RC cars require a lot of maintenance – well, mine do anyway.  In my own humble opinion: If you don’t break it, you aren’t driving it hard enough.  This of course means I spend a good amount of time at the workbench, and that’s just fine with me. Not everybody enjoys bench time as much […]

New tires from Pro-Line and already a National Championship!

New tires from Pro-Line and already a National Championship!

Pro-Line had two new tires last weekend at ROAR Fuel Nationals. The first is a new 1:8 buggy tire dubbed “Blockade.” It is a bigger pin tire that falls somewhere between the Revolver 2.0 and the Holeshot. Ryan Cavalieri and Ty Tessmann were both seen running it on their buggies along with other Proline teammates. […]
Best RC Car Video Soundtrack Songs?

Best RC Car Video Soundtrack Songs?

These days, you can make a decent RC video with your cell phone. But, when you start getting fancy and do a few takes with different angles, some slow mo, a bunch of other editing and effects, the next thing you’ll add is a cool soundtrack. Here’s my question: what song is the best soundtrack/background […]

What’s Your RC Guilty Pleasure?

What’s Your RC Guilty Pleasure?

I’m a racer in the sense that I have raced competitively for years and race as often as I can. I don’t, however, fit the typical racer mold. I just enjoy far too many, what I’ll call, basher-related guilty pleasures. What’s an RC guilty pleasure? It’s something you enjoy but don’t readily admit or promote it, so […]
Short Course in Canada

Short Course in Canada

Hey guys, here is a sneak-peek at what’s coming off my workbench. I was able to get a hold of a used Traxxas Slash 2WD a little while ago. I’ll have before and after pictures and project progression. This new project of mine has been a longtime coming. Ever since the short course truck (SCT) […]

Indoor racing is back in San Diego!

Indoor racing is back in San Diego!

  The racing scene here in SoCal is always plentiful and with a variety of world famous tracks to choose from, you’re guaranteed to get your RC fix. Indoor tracks are always popular, because rain or shine, you will race. In the San Diego area, where I live, there hasn’t been an indoor track for […]
Project “Rozzer”

Project “Rozzer”

I’ve wanted to put together a police car body for my TC4 drifter for a while now, but until recently I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted it to look like.  A Dodge Charger in classic black-and-white would be great, but there were a couple problems with that.  First off, I had […]
