Written by Harley. Yesterday marked the first Goat Hill Scale challenge. This event really showcased what the KCRC (Kansas City Rock Crawlers) club can do. The Kansas City area is really stacked with some amazing talent, I’d put it against any club in the nation for the ability to put out some of the coolest trucks, media and products in RC crawling. I’m proud to be part of this club.
Follow along as Harley recaps his trip to the 2012 Axial Northwest Scale Championships.
These guys don’t seem to ever slow down, but hey, Im not complaining.
Mickey Thompson and RC4WD have teamed up again to bring you some of the coolest products out there.
We all know RC4WD puts out the most scale items in R/C rock crawling, but honestly with such scale looks its hard for parts to be very capable, especially tires, well RC4WD has been listening and they have a new super soft tire compound out. The buzz around the water cooler is they work really well too.
Starting out RC4WD has produced two tires with the new compound, both class 1 sized tires. Before class 1 was for street trucks where looks out weighed performance, now it is about looks, and performance.
For the first time at Vanquish products La Guerra en Rocas Rojo there was a scale event, but not just any scale event. This was a scale endurance race covering a lot of terrain all over the red rocks area in Morrison, Colorado. Continue reading
