Short Course RC Truck - Playing Around

It's a long weekend here, nothing much to do, so posting two short course rc trucks having fun on the on road track of Sonic Boom. This is how radio control hobby should be... fun!

Traxxas Nitro Revo 3.3

Spotted a Traxxas Nitro Revo 3.3 in a recent off road race. Took a picture and video of this new nitro rc truck from Traxxas.



If you have a Traxxas nitro revo 3.3, please comment and leave a review for others to see.

Off Road RC Buggy Race in Sonic Boom Aug 2009

Hi, just got back from a great Sunday of off road rc racing. I raced in the 1/10 scale 4wd electric buggies. Finished overall second place, just 0.6 secs difference to the first place finisher. Lot's of fun!



Here is my off road buggy. A Tamiya Durga with Novak 4.5r brushless motor and lipo batteries.



And here is a video of the fast 1/8 scale electric powered rc buggies.

Arnold and Oldskul RC Birthday Race

My daughter and I went to the 3rd Arnold and Oldskul rc birthday race. Porsha joined in the rally class, but unfortunately the 12 year old TL01 car was not steering straight, eventually after 2 broken servos decided to call it a day. Oh well maybe next time. At least the food and music was great.

Tomorrow I will race in the 4wd electric buggy category in Sonic Boom racetrack using a Tamiya Durga with a Novak 4.5r brushless motor. Hope it will be a sunny day :)

Tamiya Asia Cup

Was just reminiscing of the Tamiya Asia Cup 2007 race held in Taiwan. I raced in the Tamiya M-Chassis class and had lots of fun. It's always a nice and memorable experience to race overseas.

Next month I'll probably race in the Tamiya Asia Cup 2009 in Thailand, and yes, you guessed it, in the Tamiya M-Chassis class. Guess I just enjoy these little toy cars.

Maybe I'll see some of you there next month? Look for me in the Philippine team... name is Joel.

RC Hobby Shops USA

When I was studying college in New York, I used to race off road RC 10 buggies. My local hobby shop was Bruckner Hobbies. I think this is a family owned business and I used to envy the son's of the owner... imagine your work is to run an rc hobby shop and join races.

Anyways if you know of a good rc hobby store in the USA please post in the comments and I will updated my directory listing. More people who can join the hobby the better. More fun for all of us.

RC Trucks - Short Course Sport Truck Racing

Hi, came from racing inside a mall last Sunday, 9 Aug 2009. It was fun to watch the short course sport trucks from Traxxas Slash and Associated SC10. Close and fun racing is the name of the game. Plus these ready to run rc trucks are very cheap, and will encourage first timers to try out rc racing.


If you have these rc trucks, please post your comments to encourage more people to join this hobby. Thanks :)
