RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF
March 13, 2012 Categories: RC Car Action, RC News Comment
In the world of full size cars, when it come to lust vehicles there are a ton of options. Most will steer towards Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Shelby, and so on. The truth is, sports cars are meant to be animated, vibrant, insane, and a total nightmare to drive around in a downtown district. The one flaw to most of these brands, they’re not exactly a practical daily driver. Yes, if you’ve got the coin to spring for such a high-end vehicle it’s safe to assume there’s a second car in the garage. The big question is why can’t …

Winter Break
November 10, 2011 Categories: RC Car Action, RC News Comment
For those that are racers out there, winter is upon us once again. Even though here in Southern California we pretty much have racing year round, there are those that aren’t as fortunate. Snow and cold weather tends to put a damper on the racing scene. But does it really? These days it seems as if indoor tracks are popping up all over the place. Which means racing can mean a year long endeavor whether it’s on-road or off-road. Personally, during the winter months I like to explore classes that I wouldn’t necessarily race during the warmer times…
Photo Tuesday, Lucas Off-Road Race Las Vegas Nevada
November 9, 2011 Categories: RC Car Action, RC News, Team Associated Comment
Recently, I spent the weekend in Las Vegas, NV for the Lucas Off-Road Race Series held at Las Vegas International Speedway and while attending the event I managed to get out onto the outskirts of the track and capture the intense racing action. This particular picture of Kyle Leduc’s truck was taken during Saturdays Pro 4 race. Kyle managed to grab some extra unwanted traction which sent him up onto two wheels. What’s more interesting is how fast Kyle reacted by turning into the situation thus ultimately saved him from going completely onto his lid. …

Recently, I spent the weekend in Las Vegas, NV for the Lucas Off-Road Race Series held at Las Vegas International Speedway and while attending the event I managed to get out onto the outskirts of the track and capture the intense racing action.

Kyle managed to grab some extra unwanted traction which sent him up onto two wheels. What’s more interesting is how fast Kyle reacted by turning into the situation thus ultimately saved him from going completely onto his lid. Notice how …

Vegas Bound.

I’m on the road once again and this time it’s for Las Vegas. Once a year, everything and everyone that has anything to do with vehicle aftermarket parts converges upon Las Vegas for the SEMA show. Just about anything you could ever want for your full size car will be there, if it isn’t, it doesn’t exist. The big question is, what is it that you want to see from SEMA? Throughout the rest of the week I’ll be posting some pictures from the show so check back often. RC Car Action –

Mugen Seiki’s Travis Amezcua: Photo Highlight Tuesday 11/1/11

Location: Temecula, Ca Camera: Hasseblad H3D Lens: HC 50-110 Exposure: 1/750 sec at f/4.8 ISO 400 Back Story: While attending the 2011 Sidewinder Nitro Explosion in Temecula, CA I found Mugen Seiki driver Travis Amezcua during a brief moment of silence between main events on Sunday. Travis maxed out his racing duties by racing three classes (1/8 buggy, 1/8 truggy, and 1/8 electric buggy), so needless to say, he didn’t have much time to relax during the weekend. RC Car Action –

As originally promised, I’m going to start featuring photo work into my weekly blog. This weeks photo… Adam Drake sequence shot form 2011 Thunder Alley Gas Championships. The track featured a very tricky hip to double to step-up which proved to be difficult for even the best drivers in the world. As you can see, Adam is making it look so easy.

Off Road EXPO in Pomona, CA
October 19, 2011 Categories: RC Car Action, RC News, Team Associated Comment
Being that I’m an off-road enthusiast, every year I make it a priority to attend the Off Road EXPO in Pomona, CA. Why? It’s not all too often I get the kid in the candy store experience and this EXPO certainly fulfills that need thanks to all the vendors that show up showcasing project vehicles, new products and the never ending line of off-road rigs that inspires the imagination. The Off Road EXPO has been going on for over a decade and during its existence there has been a progressive growth in the overall size and activities offered. There’s endless rows of off-road vehicles ranging from desert …
It’s been a busy weekend
September 5, 2011 Categories: RC Car Action, RC News Comment
Once in a while during a holiday weekend it’s nice to spend the weekend at home, work on house projects, enjoy the company of family and friends, or build a work bench. Recently I was inspired by both TLR’s Mike Truhe and AE’s Ryan Cavalieri both had dialed work spaces in their homes for wrenching on all of their cars . For the longest time I haven’t really had a “work bench” per say but more of a temporary setup that really only suited the needs of building up or keeping my fleet in check between racing and articles.. Most times it was in…
