We don’t post race information very often around here unless it’s for friends of ours, or something special. In this case, it’s both! Our buds over at No Limit R/C of Virginia Shenandoah Valley are hosting a ‘World Finals Warm-Up‘ race on May 14th to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. So if your in [...]
Just a heads up, this weekend, April 30th, 2011 there will be a RC drag event in the parking lot of the Orland Park IL. Hobby Town! Pretty much anything goes at these events! Anything goes, if you think you have a fast vehicle, bring it out. You will most likely see some amazing drag cars out there hitting [...]

If you’ve ever wondered why Tamiya hasn’t shown up at any of the US R/C shows like RCX or IHobby, it’s probably because they are sinking all their money into this little shin-dig. Next weekend, April 15 – 17, is the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, and Tamiya is going to be there in full force with the Tamiya [...]
I was just going through all of the images we got from the Toy Fair, making sure I didn’t miss anything important. I believe I’ve exhausted most, if not all, of the big R/C news so I figured I’d throw this post together with some of the extras. The Nuremberg Toy Fair is more than just R/C, it’s [...]
Kyosho had a pretty substantial booth at Nuremberg, and they were showing off a ton of product. Some of it has been seen before, some are new updates to existing products. Mostly they dedicated their show to announcing price points for products that will be new to the European market. One item of note is their Inferno VE Race Spec, [...]
Robitronic unveiled their all new electric 1/8 scale buggy, the Vision, at Nuremberg. The Vision has been designed from the ground up for brushless power, it’s not just a simple conversion of a nitro buggy. The chassis is carbon fiber, with alloy inlays to aid in heat dissipation, one unique feature among many on this car. Robitronic is also touting [...]
Schumacher’s big news at the show was their prototype 1/10 scale 4wd buggy, the CAT SX3. The all new mid-motor layout and LiPo saddle pack configuration is said to offer great weight balance and much more agility. The inline motor and wheel rotation also aid in creating better jumping characteristics. It will be offered in two verions, the C/F Pro [...]
The biggest new item from XRAY at the Toy Fair was their prototype 1/8 scale brushless truggy, the XT8E. They were characteristically tight-lipped about specs, features, release timeframe, and cost at this early point, but it should be a cool new entry in a rather small segment. Being XRAY, the XT8E is sure to be an all carbon fiber race-bred [...]
Click to embiggen. Next month, at the RC Expo, there will be a raffle to raise some money for the American Red Cross Services for Armed Forces. The grand prize? A completely custom HPI Baja 5T worth $10,000. HPI, TGN, the upstanding gents of the Baja Addicts forum, and innumerable other companies have donated all kinds of parts to build what [...]

We don’t post a lot of RC Race information, but when we get a race with a good cause, we do whatever we can to help. I recently got some information from Medina RC Raceway about their Diabetes Charity Race on August 7th in Medina Ohio. 100% of the proceeds from the raffles at the race will go to [...]
Editor’s Note — Here are the facts: Adam Drake was top qualifier in the buggy class. Jared Tebo TQ’d the truggy class. Tebo then went on to win both the buggy and truggy classes. Jeff was sent there to take pictures and provide coverage of the event. What we got back from him was this “story.” [...]
They are taking place at Colorado Fast Track @ Aztec Motocross Speedway just east of town on Highway 94 this weekend. I’m going to be there tomorrow and Sunday spectating what I’m sure will be some great racing action. I’ll also have a load of stickers on me to give away. Remember, stickers are like currency around this place. If [...]
