RC Street racing is popular all over the country for good reason, people like to get together and see who’s the fastest. In St Louis, the STL Drag Club has been running for several years now, for bragging rights, and to just have a good time. I joined in with the St Louis Drag Racers over the weekend and had [...]
Looks like Traxxas got some good PR time over on ESPN Sports Center where Courtney Force did a interview with the Traxxas Funny Car on her lap the whole time! They even get a quick mention at the end, not that it was needed. You can watch the video after the break, keep reading…

Looks like Traxxas has released a few more details about their DTS-1 Drag Timing System. Dual beam lasers will allow pre-stage and staging, along with two more lasers for the speed trap and finish.

The batteries, the motors, the engines, all this stuff is tested and tuned beyond belief. You think you know someone that can tune a nitro? You haven’t [...]
So this last weekend I attended the IMDRA Midwest Nationals at the Lynwood R/C Dragway. I was looking forward to racing at the event, but due to some conflicting scheduling I was only able to make it out to watch the finals on Sunday. I was bummed that I didn’t get to be [...]

While RC Drag Racing has really been gaining popularity over the last few years, I didn’t expect to see this while walking through my Toys R’ Us the other day! RC Dragsters from WooWee! With a blistering top speed of 8.5mph and a real drag parachute, I don’t think my Grand Motorsports has anything to be worried [...]
