Here’s another short video from the RC Drag Racing event a few weeks back at Lynwood Drag Way. This is Pro Driver, Tim Mohr’s rail catching some air from just going a little too fast. Amazingly enough, the race was also super close… if only it stayed on the ground!

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.

I would like to welcome a new rc video site HobbyZip.com to the world of RC! It looks like they are off to a good start with some cool videos up there! As we create more new videos, we will be uploading them to this site as well for viewing. We will also be testing out their embedded videos among other things. If your into videos, and you have seen all of ours, go check them out!
Here is a upload of one of our older RC Drag Racing videos from a Holeshot event.
When it comes to people you admire, at least in the RC world, everyone always has some top pro drivers that they worship, and just think are the greatest people ever. When it comes to who bashers worship, it’s XXXMain. Well.. maybe BigSquidRC, then XXXMain.. (Just kidding!) Seriously though.. these guys have been hardcore bashers forever, and they deserve the recognition. Jeff and Wes are both great guys, so go buy their videos and paint masks, and make sure to tell them we sent ya!

This video was with everyone’s favorite RC tech guy, ‘Scooter’ from Team Tekin! This one had a pretty funny blooper, as another company at the show kept running some electric turbine jet thing at full throttle every few minutes. It was loud and annoying, and had good timing. Enjoy.

Looks like we finally have the videos rolling out! Wish us luck that we keep going and we don’t melt another computer.
This new video features Pro Driver Tim Mohr in the Castle Creations booth talking about a new ESC. We have been working with Tim for a long time, and he is by far one of the nicest guys have I have met in the RC world! He’s super friendly, and knows what he’s doing. Thanks for letting us steal 20 seconds of your soul Tim!

We shot a lot of video at the iHobby expo this year in Chicago, and finally got a chance to cut the videos and get them posted. This is part of a set we did with a lot of the manufacturers at the show. Each person was told to introduce themselves, then they had 15 seconds to describe their RC product. It was a great time had by all. This first video is in the Axial booth! Enjoy.

WOW! This is by far the longest and highest RC car jump video I have ever seen! (And I have seen a LOT!) Mike Ogle sent me this footage that he took in 1996/97 at the Dominguez Hill velodrome. There was a RC car speed run event there. I would guess he hit that jump at about 80mph! WOW. Right click and do a SAVE AS on the video link here for it to work the best.

Have an AMAZING RC video for us to see/share? Drop me an email, tell me about it.
What a cool event! We got off to a bit of a shaky start.. being the first time they have had RC’ers out there, nobody was sure what to do with us, what they would let us do, and what the reaction would be. That all changed when the first truck hit the first big ramp! The crowd went nuts! It’s hard to explain the feeling you get when 10,000 people are cheering you just for doing donuts, kicking up dirt and jumping big ramps.. to me.. it’s all standard basher stuff.. but to them.. wow! Once I got a feel for the ramps, I started going for back flips.. talk about crowd reaction! OOOHhhhhhh… Awwwwwww! On a miss.. then… Ohhhhhh .. YAAAAAAAAAA when ya land it.. it was really cool. Our time was cut pretty short, but just having a chance to show all those people how cool RC is was a good thing.
We got ourselves onto the field about 1 hour before the event. They had all the real monster trucks out there, with the drivers taking pictures and signing autographs.. We probably had at least 10-20 people around our cars at all times, touching.. poking, testing the shocks, and asking all sorts of questions! I would bet anything that the local RC shops get a good amount of people in tomorrow looking to get into the hobby! When I get time, I’ll post a quick video of the last 30 seconds. I had the camera on a tri-pod, so it’s not the best view.. but you can hear the crowd just going nuts! I’ll get some more pics up soon also.
Thanks to Steve from Hobby Town USA for allowing us to help them out with the show, thanks to pro-driver Tim Mohr for making the drive up and helping us WOW the crowd! Also thanks to Joe, Bill and Chris for helping us bash, impress and ramp building!
Also, check out this picture of a Losi Raminator they had there that they had autographed by the Raminator Driver! Very cool!
I can’t wait till next season!
The sound isn’t great, but I wanted to get something up while it was still fresh! (One of my new goals.) Click Here for the video. Right-Click and SAVE AS will work best!
While we are still setting things up, we better test the youtube videos and make sure those are all good and working!
This video is from the Minnesota Drag Race event I was at last month where I won the Top Fuel Dragster class! You can read all about it in the Forum HERE. I hope you like the video, feel free to comment in the forums!
Hope that works!
