For those of you who have been racing your RC cars for years,
and have a friend or two who you have been trying to get out to the
RC tracks, this article is for you. Feel free to forward it to
them.
For those of you who are fanatical bashers, and have avoided racing
your rc cars at the local track, hear me out, because I have 5 great
reasons you should take a run at it.
1) Hanging out with other RC car enthusiasts- You will absorb new
ideas on how to keep your RC cars running at peak performance, just
by hangin' out in the pits. Not all of them will be good, some
could even do more harm than good. but if you are careful who you
listen to, you can learn some terrific stuff that will make your
ride handle better, run faster, and be more durable.
2) The game within the game- Its not just about racing, and being
first in the heats (altho, that is a huge thrill) but its also
about pushing the limits of your RC cars, and fighting agianst the
track itself in a measureable way. When your bashing, you don't
really get a precise way of knowing how fast your vehicle is. When
you race, you will actually know to the millisecond what your
vehicle, limited by your driving skills, can do.
3) By being at the tracks, you get to see the latest RC technology
in action- You can go to the hobby stores and look at boxes of RC
cars and buggies all you want. But if you really want to see what
a Hot Bodies Lightning Pro or an XRAY T1'FK05 can do, there is no
better, and cheaper, way to do it than hang out at the tracks. You
get an even better idea when you race against them.
4) Making new friends- Not that you need new friends, but it's great
to have a friend who knows RC cars tips and tricks. Someone you can
ask questions, or bounce ideas off of. Or catch rides to the track
when your full scale car is in the shop.
5) Just like when your bashing and you finally nail that jump you
set up in your backyard, mastering a track is a total rush-
Everyone will tell you when you first start racing rc cars, just
try to do crash free laps. Isn't that essentially what you are
doing in your backyard?
Why not take your Monster truck to the track, and do some racing,
and see if you can handle the track's jumps and rhythm sections?
I bet it will be months before you have a crash free lap. Howse
that for a challenge?
If you have put off racing rc cars because it looks intimidating,
your worried you will make a fool of yourself, or smash up your car
or buggy, or piss off someone by smashing THIER car up... well,
your right!! All of that can happen!
In fact, when I first started racing my RC cars, I made every
racing mistake there is. I embarassed myself, I smashed my poor
little car up, I was totally confused. Frankly, I didn't have much
fun.
But, I fought through it, learned from my mistakes, got some great
advice, and now I enjoy every weekend at the track. I strongly
suggest you give racing a chance. I think it's the best way to
enjoy your RC cars hobby. J.P. Turner, is the author of "The RC Insider's Unfair Advantage Radio Controlled Car Secrets Guide", at http://www.rccarsecretsguide.com and also runs an RC blog, RC Smackdown, at http://www.rcsmackdown.com
