What track food do you like?

What track food do you like?

Every weekend that I hit the track I bring a few of my favorite foods so I have something to chow on when I get hungry. I’m not a fan of having to leave the track during the day to get some grub because I’m always worried that I’m going to miss my next round […]
Are You An RC Snob?

Are You An RC Snob?

There are all sorts of snobs. Beer snobs, wine snobs, guitar snobs, cigar snobs, food snobs, car snobs, bike snobs and, of course, even RC snobs. There’s some snob in all of us. I confess my RC snobbery is with batteries, radios and pre-painted RTR bodies. I’m not proud of this, but I’ll explain. When I’m at the […]

Some things just make me crazy

Some things just make me crazy

Well all have pet peeves and different levels of them. A lot of us spend time at the track and see lots of things that just aren’t right. I go to the track every chance I get to run some laps with my RC cars and trucks and have and have a good time while […]
It can't always be sunny in So Cal.

It’s A Rainy Day…Time To Clean

It rarely rains in Southern California.  This area is known for its blue, sunny skies nearly year ’round.  We get to play with our RC cars whenever we feel like it.  And sometimes, like today, I actually need to run an RC car for testing…but it’s raining. So, what do I do when it’s raining?  […]

Are tractor trailer trucks going to be the next big craze?

Are tractor trailer trucks going to be the next big craze?

Since scale vehicles are growing in popularity these days do you guys think that we’ll see a rise in the amount of tractor trailer type trucks being built? Who doesn’t love big tractor trailer trucks? I’ve built a few Tamiya trucks and even a Wedico in my time at RC Car Action and they were […]
OFNA Hyper 10sc Battery Mod

OFNA Hyper 10sc Battery Mod

One thing that has always seemed a little odd to me about my OFNA Hyper 10sc is how the battery stands up instead of being positioned flat on the chassis. This keeps the battery out of harms way and does allow it to be positioned fairly close to the chassis’ center line, but I could help […]

Time for some 2WD buggy

Time for some 2WD buggy

Since the start of the year all I’ve been racing is 1/8 buggy and truggy and not that I’m complaining but I think it’s time to mix it up a bit. While I was at West Coast RC Raceway the other day shooting a motocross racer, I started to get the 1/10th itch again. I’ll […]
Sir, please stop yelling. There's no fuel in your buggy's tank.

3 Nitro No-No’s

If I’ve learned anything over the years racing nitro vehicles, it’s that there’s no replacement for lots of expendable cash experience. Over time, nitro guys develop a sixth-sense, knowing when an engine is too lean or rich just by the feel of the trigger in their hands.  On the other side of the coin, there […]

JConcepts Spring Indoor Nats Pit Shenanigans [VIDEO]

I stopped by OC/RC in sunny Huntington Beach, California for the JConcepts Spring Indoor Nats. The track was insanely fast, some of the best drivers in RC were in attendance, and most importantly there was plenty of shenanigans going on in the pits… Team Associated’s Chris Jarosz provides commentary on the electric 1/8th scale race […]
What’s next for nitro?

What’s next for nitro?

One the electric side of things we saw brushless motors and LiPo batteries develop and because of the awesome power and long run times that they produce the segment has grown a lot lately. Easy of use is also a big factor. So what’s next for nitro? I feel that we are going to be […]

RC Dreamin’

RC Dreamin’

I had a dream last night. It was a wonderful dream. In this dream I had a pet dragon who could talk and I was the starting power forward for the Celtics, but those weren’t the only points of pure fantasy. In this dream all LiPo batteries used the same balance plugs, all RC vehicles used […]
