Preparation For A Long Day: X-Factory Team Arrives Today!

Well today is another long day at the hobby shop we have to get the track ready for the big race tomorrow, but the track is open at noon for practice so lots more to do. Then we have the X-Factory team coming in today and they are going to do a little practicing. Later on tonight they are also doing a clinic to answer any questions on how to setup there off road vehicles. Then we have open practice again for a couple hours. Then we finally close the track down and get it all prepped for the race Saturday which is 2/1/2014. So I guess it will be another long night for the redneck trying to get everything ready for the big race.

This is the last layout not the new one.

What Is The Best Basher RC Truck For A 15 Year Old?

I am buying a truck for my 15 year old son to bash with what do you thick I should buy him. What do you think about the Traxxas Summit.

What Is The Best Speed Control RC Enthusiast Like Air, Land, and Sea?

I know there is a lot of debate on this subject with so many speed controls to choose from so now I am going to ask all of the RC enthusiast whether you are land see and air what do you think the best speed control. Owning a hobby shop I have used them all and seen them all but there are a lot of different types and classes. Remember for ground you have the bashers, racers, rock, crawling, basher that also races, and much more to many to list. Not only all these classes there are different scales. For the Air craft you also have so many different categories of flying like indoor flying, park flyers, and your normal outside club flying. They also have Helicopters, planes, quad copters and I am sure a lot of other aircraft and they also have many different scales. The boat people also have many different scales and uses there are too many to list. So if you can just tell us your favorite manufacture and what you use it in that will give a general idea for all the newer people out there looking to purchase one. Thank you and hope to see what everyone else likes to use for there speed controls.

What Is The Best RC Vehicle Ever Made

Okay there is a debate going on about who makes the best race vehicle in off road and obviously there are a lot of great names out there like Team Associated, Team Durango, Team Losi, Kyosho, Schumacher, and too many to list. So my question to all of the RC community is who is your favorite brand of RC for racing and for bashing they are all in the game to except I would definitely have to add Traxxas. So tell everyone what is your favorite RC vehicle and why no matter what class you are in or if you bash, mudding or even rock climb. Redneck RC would love to know what peoples favorite choices are.

Souper Bowl Shakedown: Going Were No Other RC Race Has Gone

Well this week we are getting prepared for the Souper Bowl Shakedown here at Redneck RC, and in that preparation trying to make this an event that know one will forget. Not only are we going to have dash for cash after each round and then take the top 3 from both races so in the main dash for cash there will be a 6 car race. I want to have a little halftime show like every event. I want to do something different just so people won't forget and have something to talk about when they leave. So for all that are coming to race this event prepare for something different that you have never see at a RC race before.

Mosquito Mk VI BNF Basic by ParkZone

This is looks like an awesome park flyer if anyone has anymore feedback on this plane please us know I am sure there are a lot of people waiting for this.

This is what Horizon Hobby had to say. 

Scale details and fantastic flight characteristics come together beautifully in this exciting, park flyer recreation of Britain’s premier twin-engine warbird. It’s the perfect first twin-motor park flyer for any intermediate to expert skill level pilot.

Nothing Evil about This Twin Despite their differences in subject matter and design, ParkZone park flyers have always shared a common trait – smooth, predictable flight characteristics that will put any sport pilot at ease. The ParkZone aircraft development team has gone to great lengths to make sure its first twin-motor park flyer is no exception.

To that end, they’ve mounted the motors in such a way that their counter-rotating props and thrust angles smooth out the effects of abrupt power changes. This makes the model as fun and relaxing to fly as any single-motor ParkZone warbird.

It’s a truck … it’s an octocopter … it’s the Black Knight Transformer!

Even though this is not hobby related it is so remarkable interesting when I found this article in Model Airplane I had to show all of my hobby readers. I will be interested to know if any hobby manufactures are planning on designing one of these.
Yes, this real, and yes, it has flown (using four of its eight motors). Advanced Tactics of El Segundo, California, has created this rolling, flying VTOL aircraft capable of unmanned, autonomous operations. They call it, “The world’s first roadable vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that’s capable of landing close to where it’s needed, then driving the rest of the way.” On the ground, the engine modules fold down so the vehicle can drive on a street. There’s an automotive suspension and drive train with large truck tires.  Now this is an aircraft even our Car Action editors will love!
