The best R/C races ever

Probably the best thing about R/C Racing is the tight battles on track. There aren't many things more exciting than fighting for the lead spot in a race.  It's the adrenaline rush that rewards our days, hours or weeks of preparation for a race.
With that in mind here are the best two RC battles I've seen yet.

 First up is the battle in the second half of the Pro Truggy A-main at the 2010 Dirt Nitro Challenge. It's Ty Tessman vs. Ryan Cavalieri. Ty is fighting for his first ever big win right after coming off a crushing disappointment at the buggy pre-worlds in Pattaya Thailand where he TQ'd and dominated the main, but suffered a broken radio switch half way through. The real action start about 7 or 8 minutes in when Ryan Cavalieri's seemingly insurmountable leading slowly begins to crumble as he start to make small mistakes that add up.

Second we've got what might just be the best battle ever in the history of R/C racing between two of the world's best drivers fighting for the R/C worlds greatest prize; an IFMAR world title. This race is the 3rd A-main of the 2008 electric touring car world championships in Bangkok Thailand. The clip is from the TV show RC Racing TV, which is a great show broadcast throughout Europe, and the commentator is John Hindhaugh. John does a great job of setting the race up and providing commentary, which really helps elevate the level of excitement in this video.

Vote for me!

The RC Car Action message board has a contest every month that pits painters from around the world head to head and lets the forum members vote on what they think is the best paint in pro, intermediate and amateur categories for that month. Up until this summer I was competing the intermediate class until I won my second paint competition with this body:

I'm now competing in the pro class, and so far have had my ass handed to me in both competitions I've entered. Of course the bodies I entered were the art car bodies, which are pretty unconventional. 


The first body I won with this year was the AE RC8T body I did for a local club member as a payment for him letting me use his truck at the '09 Winter Nationals in Red Deer. I put his truck in 2nd place, so things worked out pretty good! Here's the body, which I personally didn't really like, but everyone I showed it to loved it, so maybe there is something wrong with me.

So, goto  http://radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=258353 and vote for my bodies!
