"Christopher Oswald makes move from RC Car Action - to - RCTruckStop.com"

Well, it's a been a year already since my last Blog post, how time fly's. It's been a busy ride over here at R/C Modz Full Throttle, with RC projects, and home life it's been a fast pace. While most of my work and R/C projects remains on R/C Modz Full Throttle, I had a short stay with RC Car Action.com and wrote editorial blogs for the website for just a little over a year. After that I moved to a new corner of the web called "RCTRUCKSTOP.com". Why???  Well you see the creator and CEO of RC Truck Stop is non other than Matt Higgins former editor in chief of RC Car Action Magazine. After Matt moved from the Air Age Media group, he embarked onto his own site. Featuring honest, fair and experienced RC related information and media related topics. RC Truck Stop is completely dedicated to the RC community and committed to providing accurate, quality content that you can trust. RC Truck Stop only publishes reviews that are based on actual testing. He believes in truthful, critical reviews provide experienced hobbyists with the content they seek and enable all enthusiasts—new or veteran—to make confident purchases and better enjoy the hobby.

R/C Modz Ful Throttle - Project 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Tease? Movie Trailer? R/C Modz Garage update??? Yeah. Soon... Very soon.

Introducing the new addition to the R/C Modz Full Throttle fleet. The Project 2010 Camaro has been the highest anticipated project of Spring 2011. Back when HPI Racing finally got licensing for the 2010 Camaro they knew it would be a hit and all Chevy fans would want one. Guess what?? They were right. I wanted this body the second I knew HPI had applied for licensing on this brand of vehicle through General Motors.
Finally shipped to the local hobby store, bought, painted and ready to go. Everyone close to R/C Modz Full Throttle wanted to know what color this project would be. Even what chassis would I use. Everyone had a guess under the sun, along with obvious ones.....
"Paint it like the transformers Camaro.... Yellow with black strips."
or "Paint it like your 69 Camaro and have a new/old kinda thing"
and even "Go jet black with stealth black wheels and tires"

No.

Why?

By trade I am a General Motors technician for Chevrolet. I see/drive a fare amount of the 2010 Camaro. Being at the Chevrolet store I had a good idea what I wanted to paint this project. Being that almost every real life Camaro is the common colors, I knew of one style of Camaro that was out there and not as popular. The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Synergy Green Special Edition. So, R/C Modz Full Throttle fans... I give you my Synergy Green 2010 Camaro.

Gallery and chassis info coming soon!

Hook it up, and haul it away! - Axial Racing scx10 scale hitch and trailer

- So i was digging around and doing some research on new products for the summer. I Have to say, I kinda hit a dry spell. UNTIL! I got an email from a friend of mine telling me about a new product for the Axial scale trucks that I have to see. So I checked these guys out, and you have to check this stuff out. A scale trailer and hitch for your scx10 series Axial trucks. How cool is that??
Sure it's kinda weird to some, but the scale guys are soaking this stuff up and paying good money for upgrades and ad on's to there rigs. Face it, if your Axial truck has a scale winch..... You need a scale trailer hitch and trailer.

Check out http://www.ajsmachine.com/ for this and other cool R/C goodies.

USVTA Vintage R/C Racing - Getting more popular

What can I say, The Vintage Trans Am Class. What a interesting racing class. If you are new, or like myself and just returning to the track after a little while and kinda rusty on the carpet, this is the class for you. It's a little slower than touring sedan and has a few variations on the rules for car specifications. Such as body type, and what motor and battery combination's your allowed to run. It also is required you run a vintage type style rim and tire by such like HPI Racing. This past weekend at my local track was the 2011 Mid-Canada R/C Auto Racing Cabin Fever Event. It was a 3 days event full of all class's including the Vintage Trans Am Class. The turn out was great, and after seeing the class a couple weeks back, I knew I had to run in the Trans Am class for this event. I finished mid-field in the main and I was very humble to the fact that this was my first "Trans Am" race. Trust me, if you don't have this class at your local track you should sign up for it. I met fellow driver's in the class experienced and new. We all had a blast because the lap times and space between us was so close, it really boiled down to driving skill. It's an all around perfect scale appeal for on-road racing. You have to give it a try.
