I never thought that there were so many people interested in this stuff on here.
I have been racing r/c cars for 9+ years.
If anyone one is in the Red Deer area on March 3,4&5 there is going to be a huge indoor offroad gas race. It is the Canadian Winter Nationals. Many big time american drivers and equipment.
Check out
