On a recent episode of Mythbusters, they started talking about a video showing someone hydroplaning a motorcycle over a large area of water. They talked about the physics and how it may or may not work, and decided step one was to try it with RC motorcycles! I’m surprised they didn’t give a call to our own hydroplane expert Craig [...]
We were amazed the other night while watching the Monster Energy Cup live on SpeedTV. One of the commercials run during the broadcast was from Kobalt Tools and it featured a hobby grade helicopter as well as a Axial EXO Terra Buggy. Kobalt was advertising their new Double-Drive Screwdriver and it was cool to see them using hobby grade rc’s [...]

Hey guys it’s always a pleasure to see this tiny obsession of ours get some good airtime on the boob tube. If you are a Scale Crawler fan of any size or shape you have heard of RC4WD, personally I feel like they have one of the best selections of scale gear around. Stacey David’s show about modifying all things [...]
Team Associated has just announced that Ton Jones is one of their newest celebrity partners. I’m not sure if that means they hook him up with stuff to drive or what.. but still cool. Ton is one of the dudes from the Auction Hunters show on Spike TV, and is also a serious RC guy off camera. If that wasn’t [...]
The dodgers and Diamond Backs had a bit of a distraction when this RC On TV moment has a Mini RC Plane flying around the stadium. The crowd was digging it, but obviously the players and announcers didn’t feel the same way. The barrel roll was a great addition to the flying! Sadly, it does not end well for the [...]

Our RC On TV segment is going to end up going from monthly to weekly to daily at this rate! Last night during the opening race of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Traxxas had some prime real estate for their logo. Just about every racer interviewed then on the podium stood in front of this backdrop. Traxxas also ran [...]
