“Vent/ Rant/ Rc etiquette at places not intended for rc cars Some (not all) people need to respect others while driving RC cars.

This week, oh yes, this week, promises to be short and sweet. First, a couple of quick observations. 1. Don’t ever, and by that I mean EVER, take the 15 from Vegas to Barstow on a Sunday. I normally fly, but this week I was delivering a very trick car to the 909. Seriously California??? A freak’n mandatory “agricultural checkpoint”??? Oooffahhh… 2. [...]
