Did you know?
Thomas Jefferson: Graduated College of William and Mary (1762) Secretary of State under Washington, Vice-President under Adams. Jefferson was the first president to shake hands with guests. Previously, people bowed to presidents. Jefferson's library of 6,000 books was purchased for $23,950 and formed the basis of the Library of Congress. He was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the first president to take his oath in Washington, D.C. Jefferson and Adams were the only presidents to sign the Declaration of Independence, and they both died on its 50th anniversary, July 4, 1826. He designed his own tombstone and wrote his own epitaph, omitting the fact that he was President of the United States.

Another interesting fact:

Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day this year!

painted my rustler vxl

Had another fun sunday running cars,even flew a foamie around the track.. the scoring tube was pretty low and i had to try and fly under it .

HobbyTown USA Orland Track! (7 min 17 sec)

It's Friday morning already and the week has been flying by. Weather has been a concern with thunder storms hitting the track each day, although there were breaks in the weather that allowed practice to occur on Tuesday and Wednesday. Race heats were then established followed with one round of "controlled" practice run by race heats. The controlled practice was followed by the first round of official qualifying on late Thursday.

Many racers have also been chasing the track due to changing grip conditions which left many racers looking for more steering from their cars. Aside from that, the track layout is a technical layout which is fun to drive. And the tire wear... Or rather, lack of tire wear. The track in Lincoln, NE is very smooth with very low tire wear allowing most drivers to use soft tires on their cars.

The plan for today is to try and run four more rounds of qualifying. Most racers will be looking to improve their times set in round one as final qualifying will be established based on qual points combining the two best rounds each racer has.

More info to come later.

Thanks,
Tom

The speed in which we are being introduced to RTR RC cars is not showing any signs of a slow down. Lately, almost all the new model RC Cars and trucks come with an RTR option.

RC drivers have told the manufacturers what they want and they are listening! They are producing the top of the line quality you desire. Your choices are almost endless: electric, nitro, drift, gas, and the list goes on. And your choices will probably only improve as more and more manufacturers step up and produce these desired RTR RC cars.

You will likely find RTR a particularly popular option in the 1/10 scale nitro RC cars and trucks. There are also lots of electric RTR package deals available.

With all of the RTR options available in RC today, there are simply no barriers between you and tearing up the dirt in your backyard. RTR (ready to run) means: pre-assembled, awesome paint job, and completely ready to roll. So, all you gotta do is open the box, and let it rip!

The speed and power of all the amazing RTR options is absolutely incredible, and don't require a lot of modifactions to make them race ready.

Ready to Run packages are better now than ever before. Previously, RTR meant they included electronics, like radios, ect. Nowadays, RTR RC cars come complete with electronics, radios, batteries, and chargers. Since the introduction of RTR RC cars all of the hard work has been done for you.

If you start asking your friends which one you should start out with, you may find out a lot of people recommend starting out with electric RTR RC cars. This is actually good advice, since all you have to do is take it out of the box, charge up a battery and go!

However, if you do like to hear the sound of the motor, you may also consider the nitro RTR RC car, since the electric RC cars are silent.

There are lots of choices. Traxxas offers some top of the line , quality RC cars and RC trucks. HPI is also one of the more desirable options in RTR RC cars.

Which one? If you ask me the Traxxas Jato is one of the fastest nitro RC cars on the market or the Traxxas Slash is a popular choice in electric RC cars. Whichever you choose, it's sure to bring you hours and hours of endless pleasure for many years to come.

Team Durango was spotted in the UK recently. And you can probably guess by the title “DEX210″ just what they were up to! Hupo and Adam were out at the local track for a little R&R wit the Pre-Production DEX210. The guys at BurninRubber.Co.UK filmed the day at Robin Hood Raceway in Nottinghamshire,UK.

Included in the DEX210 Video are some great “Under the Shell” shots of the internal layout. And we have not even glanced a look at the new Team Durango Short Course yet….

My brother found a vintage NIB Tamiya Wild One on e-bay back in 2003. He sent me a picture of it while I was in Iraq, and said if I came home alive, I could keep it. I was planning on doing that anyway, but I still took him up on his offer. So now, most of my R/C projects are complete, and this thing is staring me down. So do I:

a. Leave it in the box.

b. Build it per the instructions and leave it on the shelf.

c. Build it, paint it however I want, and run it!

Let me know what you think.....
