As some of you already know, I own the company RCP Tracks. My company manufactures pro modular racetracks for some of the larger RC companies in the world, including and not limited to Kyosho, Radioshack, Horizon Hobby, Great Planes(Hobbico), PN Racing, Technical Racing and Mini-zracer. Our tracks are distributed in over 35 countries around the world.

In addition to the on road tracks, I have also been involved in building RC crawling and off road tracks. In 2003, 2004 and 2005 I built off road tracks consisting of rocks and off road terrain for the Kyosho Corporation at their exhibit displays for RCX. In January of 2006 I built the first rock crawling specific track for Goodyear that was used in their vendor/fan area of the Daytona 500 Nascar event. The rock course helped Goodyear earn the second largest crowd draw of the 5 day event. In April of 2006 I built the first RC rock crawling display for the RCX trade show in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace>Southern California</st1lace>. After using this course in <st1:City><st1lace>Chicago</st1lace></st1:City> for the Ihobbyexp and in New York for the NY Toy Fair, I gave the display a new look while increasing the size of the overall layout. The new track went on to be used at RCX 2007, NASCAR at the California Speedway and the Off-road Expo.

Since building the first off-road track in 2003 and the first rock crawling display at RCX 2006, I have been flooded with inquiries about duplicating the displays for private and cooperate use. At that time, I didn’t have an economical way of mass producing the rocks and terrain that would be financially worth the investment. I am happy to say we are now proceeding with the project and will be mass producing artificial rocks specifically designed for the RC rock crawling industry. The rocks will be manufactured so they can be linked together to form hundreds of different lines with a relatively small layout. Each rock configuration will be numbered and can be purchased separately. All the rocks formations will have a universal linking joint that will allow for easy attachment by additional pieces.
<o></o>
My goal is to offer the rocks to Hobby Stores, trade shows and the rental industry, so that they can promote the RC rock crawling hobby and the RC rock crawling products the manufacturers produce. Since the rocks will have a unique ID number, hobby stores and/or clubs could realistically purchase the same rock pieces, create the same course and compare scores virtually on the same terrain. As I said previously, with a relatively small layout there are virtually 100’s of different lines possible. By purchasing a larger amount of rocks, there are well over 500 different lines possible. You could quite possibly change a typical course layout each day and never run the same layout throughout the year.

The individual rocks and rock joining system is called RCP Link-N-Rocks..
Below are a few samples of my projects from the past.
