I just saw this and proclaimed it the greatest thing I’d ever seen. I was immediately shot down, but stand by my excited claims. These video glasses, together with a camera mounted on the radio controlled car, allow the driver to see through the car in a first person point of view.
Coupled together with a […]
This video sums up everything I’ve always loved about radio controlled trucks. Cars are fun, they’re fast, they look great… but you just can’t do some of this stuff with them. You need an RC truck to power along the beach, tear up the sand, bound over the hills and do wheelies on both your […]
It seems that more and more across the US in particular, radio controlled car racing is becoming an accepted sport. Texas news network ‘News 8′ recently covered N-Control Raceway’s Off Road race event that took place in Round Rock.
At this specialised off-road track RC enthusiasts race cars that can travel on the faster side of […]
Dr. Khoi Tran and Dieter Mahlein are model RC airplane enthusiasts from Oregon. They pilot all manner of radio controlled flying models from helicopters to planes to gliders.

The set comes with two […]
Radio controlled car meets are becoming more and more common of late, with the scale getting larger every time. By scale, obviously we’re not talking about the scale of the cars, we’re talking about the scale of events. The cars remain quite small.
This weekend just gone saw the Western Slope Challenge at the High Desert […]

The gorgeous Vicky Butler Henderson (mmmmm) met her match in a bunch of radio controlled car nerds when she took them on in a race. Vicky was driving a Mini GP while the spotty kid who’d obviously never spoken to a girl before (let alone one quite like her) drove his radio controlled car around […]
There was a time when going to the Antarctic was something of a trek. You’d have to prepare for months beforehand, raise funds and convince your loved ones that it was a worthwhile cause.
Those days are gone however as now you can just pop down there with your radio controlled plane and potter about as […]
