Just thumping a blog to test and also ask you racers the question - what puts you off from racing whether it is at club level or national level?

Please post you comments or thoughts below. Thank you.

RC-Junkies track days.

Roelof — Fri, 20 May 2011 18:17:59 +0100

RC-Junkies is an internet community formed by many hobby level drivers. Beside a forum where people can talk with each other and show their cars and other stuff there is also a news page and a "crew team" arranging meetings and demo's. The standard plan is to arrange 1 meeting per month and that could be just having fun on a free spot up to giving spectaculair demo's at car shows like tracktor pulling events and the Monster Jam. The funny thing is that most of these enthustiasts have no ...

RC and video arcade mashup

S. Steady — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 22:18:48 +0100

I was just a bit bored today and surfing a bit when I found this old but interesting article because it reminded me old days gone by when I was totally addicted to the "Wipeout" game on my old PS1.

A german chap, Malte Jehmlich, who created an interactive video game installation featuring a racing arcade, rc cars and a lot of car...

For crying out loud - get your English right!

S. Steady — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:41:38 +0100

A vehicle yes, a car no! A truck is not a car and I've never heard a six-year-old say "Hey daddy look! Its a big, jumping car!" when she sees a colourful metal box on four huge rubber tyres do a jump (Big Foot). And so this brings me to websites and magazines with the word "car" in their titles and then ta...

DAX suspension system

Roelof — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:22:12 +0100

It started a long time ago (about 10 years) when the Renault F1 team had some kind of camber corecting system making a lot of grip and some technical talk about it was done on a Dutch F1 forum. Someone mentioned a British site called Daxcars with a simple but very inovative construction. In the base the right and left suspension are connected to each other and so the camber of the left is corrected by the suspension of the right and visa-versa.

2 years ago a friend made a switch ...

Greatest show of the decade!

S. Steady — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 23:41:31 +0100

It looks as if there is no coincidence that I flap a lot about Top Gear bits despite my intentions of keeping 3hobby.net purely RC on-road nitro racing focussed website. Well, Top Gear just got voted as the Greatest Show of the Noughts (decade) and many congratulations to the mad thrio petrolheads!

What is amazing is that, I happen to s...

Kissimmee Open Race in Florida

djapolaro — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:23:09 +0100

Well I have never done this on this site, but here it goes. I arrived today to the Open Race and the track was looking really good. Kevin had made some new changes to make the track more appelaing to the eye, as well as making it easier to get onto the back straight.

I ran 2 tanks in sedan to just run in a motor and then played with the 1/8 scale. I got the chassis pretty good and finally got the clutch in the ball park. I am still working on the 2speed, as it is not being consiste...

Serpent 733 building tips

julius kolff — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:57:01 +0100

Most of you that read my ramblings on the 3Hobby site will know I'm a big fan of Serpent's 733. I've only run it a few times unfortunately as my time is limited, but when I do, it brings a big smile to my face. As winter stops me from running outdoors I found some time to share a few building tips w...

Why Americans like the Porche 911?

S. Steady — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:35:40 +0100

Why do they like the 911 then? Well, its because they then know what number to call when they crash! Pretty good Jeremy LOL!

I loved this short video. Its an old top Gear one titled "Clarkson vs 911" from a previous series where Jeremy talks, tests and compares the 911 series - a Porche series enough to confuse even the most stubborn of Kyosho...
