We never like to see this stuff happen. At the last big Midwest RC Drag Racing event, Shredder-X had a glitch/run-away and his R/C Motorcycle took off at the end of the track. Sadly, it was perfectly timed with a oncoming car.
Younger viewers may want to look away.

There is also a HI-DEF [...]

Pro Driver, Tim Mohr, and I were out one morning testing the new HPI Baja 5B. We were also testing out the new HD Camera. The footage isn’t at full HD Def, or it would be too big to download, but I think it’s pretty good. You’ll need a .mp4 codec [...]

Another week, another Cub Report- here’s all you really need to know about what went down in the rc universe last week.

Painter? Want to be? Parma has just released this new F-1 Gravity Feed Airbrush Kit. It works well with low or high pressure for all types of pains and is excellent for tight detail to broad coverage. One of these days, I might try my hand at some airbrush action. [...]

Great week to do some more ROAR bashing don’t you agree?
With that in mind, the rocket scientists at our beloved sanctioning body ROAR, have called it quits to nitro 10th scale stadium truck and “production” monster truck. These two classes will no longer be held at the national level.
Well I say why stop there? Geeezus, [...]
