Ditch that rattle can

Ditch that rattle can

I am not an artist. I have practically no artistic ability, and I can’t paint to save my life.  If you asked me to draw a scenic landscape, it would probably end up being a bunch of little stick men with rifles blowing each other up…  similar to what I might have produced in the […]
Racing is Back!

Racing is Back!

At the risk of drastically over simplifying the subject, this hobby–specifically the enthusiasts–can be broken down into two groups: racers and bashers. You either race or you don’t. There’s no official definition of a racer or what qualifies you as a racer. I’m going to say you’re a racer if you go to the track […]

What’s the Next Big Thing in RC?

What’s the Next Big Thing in RC?

Trends come in go. Actually, most RC trends never completely go away, they just hog the spotlight for a given amount of time and then share the stage to to differing degrees. We’ve seen trends such as minis, touring cars, rock crawling and short course all but take over the hobby. While it seems highly specific and […]

It’s Memorial Day! Drive An RC Car!

It’s Memorial Day! Drive An RC Car!

I’ve made up my mind: I’m driving an RC car today.  It’s Memorial Day, and most people think of BBQ’s, pools, the start of summer, and (I hope) honoring the courageous service men and women who’ve died for our freedoms.  Being the RC addict I am, I’m going to burn a few packs through my […]
Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

It’s been a great weekend and I look forward to heading to some of the picnics that I’ve been invited to. When I attend some of these events I love to bring some of my RC cars with me. There’s always someone there who never saw a hobby grade RC vehicle run before and are […]

Is On-road Racing Dead?

Is On-road Racing Dead?

Let me start off by making it clear that I’m on on-road racer. I’m not devoted strictly to on-road, but I like it just as much as off-road, and before short course came along, I probably liked on-road just ever so slightly better than dirt racing. Now that we have established that I am not […]
RC Car Action - RC Cars & Trucks | RC Car Wrecks: The Bad & The Ugly

RC Car Wrecks: The Bad & The Ugly

I witnessed one of the most exciting and dangerous nitro buggy runaways at my local track last week I’ve seen in ages.  Thankfully, no one was injured, though this runaway made a large crowd of onlookers scatter like a flock of pigeons after a gunshot.  It got me thinking about some of the more spectacular RC […]

Has Short Course Replaced the Stadium Truck Class?

Has Short Course Replaced the Stadium Truck Class?

Just when I thought the answer was an obvious yes, some guys have been showing up with stadium trucks at my local track and it appears TLR will be releasing a stadium truck version of the 22. So, which is it? Has the stadium truck class been replaced or not? I personally think there’s no […]
Are you a custom builder?

Are you a custom builder?

  One of the reasons I love the RC hobby is because the possibilities with these vehicles is almost endless. I enjoy building kit vehicles and building project vehicles for the mag where I bolt on a bunch of cool stuff. The thing that I enjoy the most is designing and making my own parts. […]

Back at it with the 2WD

Back at it with the 2WD

It’s Monday and I’m back over at West Coast RC putting down some more practice laps. This time however, I’ve decided to make a few upgrades to my Kyosho RB5 buggy. Recently Kyosho released a new Big Bore design of shocks for both there RB5t and RB5, so I thought I’d swing on down to […]
