4wd is underway with today being practice and controlled practice. As one of my favorite interviews of all time that includes the word ‘practice’ goes, “We talkin’ about practice!” Anyways, there’s definitely a different set of drivers in the mix. Some of the guys who were great in 2wd are now towards the back. Thus … Continue reading
The 2nd round of qualifying has proven to be just as exciting as the first. With one less qualifier to work with, the intensity seems to rise as we approach the day’s end. Racers have 4 qualifiers and only need to keep their best 2 to set them up for Sunday’s A-mains. Once again, the … Continue reading

I’m sure that his TRCR … Continue reading

This is the car’s 1st major race outing and I’m sure there are a lot of eyes on the new B5M and how it performs against the World’s elite drivers. Unfortunately, there are … Continue reading
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to win one of the most prestigious race in RC history? Besides winning a WORLDS, winning a REEDY Race is probably the next best thing and in some ways… perhaps even better. The 2014 Reedy Race has finished and as always, the cream rises to the … Continue reading
So I finally got a chance to take a look at Jared’s 2wd from the Reedy Race and to my surprise, it’s completely different from the way he normally runs his RB6. I gotta say I do like the yellow in his new paint scheme and the yellow wheels as it gives it a bit … Continue reading
