Kyosho Dnano Micro Radio Controlled Race Cars – Perfect For A Tabletop GP

107  320x240 kyosho dnano 1 Kyosho Dnano Micro Radio Controlled Race Cars   Perfect For A Tabletop GP When I was a kid, if you wanted automotive entertainment you were stuck with either sliding Hot Wheels around on plastic tracks or if you were super lucky, you had a slot car track. Slot car tracks were great, cars stuck running a single line that you could make go slower or faster. Yeah, no steering, no strategy, just faster or slower, it was the equivalent of an automotive true or false test.

Kids today have it better, as do immature adults. Kyosho, the company you remember from your teenage years for making sweet 1/10th scale RC cars, is now making fully functional 1/43rd scale RC cars. These aren’t those ten-dollar micro RC cars they sell in electronics stores that barely work. These are proportionally controlled hobby quality vehicles. You can turn a little or lot, you can accelerate hard or just cruise or anywhere in between for that matter. Dnano cars will be sold as complete kits with the controller and everything you need to race. Cars will also be sold separately as will the bodies that are collectible by themselves as models.

2009 RCX Show – Coverage of the Radio Controlled Expo in Pomona California

78  320x240 2009 rc expo touring track r 2009 RCX Show   Coverage of the Radio Controlled Expo in Pomona California I have no problem being referred to, or even referring to myself as a car geek. It’s a title I wear with pride. I recently discovered just how big a car geek I am by attending the annual RCX show held at the LA County Fairgrounds in Pomona California. Billed as the wildest radio controlled expo in the world I brushed up on my scale knowledge and headed to the show.

This is supposed to be the biggest show on the West Coast, which made us think it was going to be huge. Perhaps we are jaded from shows like SEMA and CES for full-scale cars, but we found this rather disappointing. SEMA takes a week to fully explore; RCX took about two hours, not counting the flying demos and some racing.
