Fastest RC Car Challenge + New 4WD B44 from Team Associated
> World's Fastest RC Car Challenge
RC Car Action is getting ready to have their fastest rc car challenge coming up here on the 28th of July. The event will be held at the California Speedway in Fontana, CA. I think the current speed record is 169MPH, but I'm sure this year there will definitely be a 200MPH mark hit. That's just my guess anyway. If you live in Cali, this would be a fun event to go see for sure. RC Car Action has a forum set up already for this event, and you can check out other people's prototypes and designs for what they're going to bring. You can also take a look at the rules/regulations, and other info.

2008 1/8 Buggy World Championships
> 2008 1/8th Scale Buggy World Championships
One of my most favorite events of the year is the Buggy worlds. As much as I love on-road racing, there's something about the dirt and the jumps that get me with off-road racing. This year's IFMAR Buggy world's will be from Sept 15-21st, and will be hed at the Farm 2 Raceway in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you're a big RC fan, then this is a must attend event! You'll see all the major movers and shakers in the RC industry there, and I was suprised to see that OFNA got the sponsorship for the 2008 Buggy worlds. This will most likely boost their competition against other major brands, as well as showcase their products to the world.

In the next couple of days, we'll be launching our bi-monthly newsletter here at everything-rc-cars.com. When signing up, you'll automatically be elligable to WIN A FREE TRAXXAS T-MAXX 3.3!! Pictures of the T-Maxx, as well as details will be posted shortly.

Check out this video of these dudes jumping their RC vehicle across 3 real cars! Pretty insane! *Caution: Swearing*

Long Time No Update!
It's been awhile! I've been away the past couple months attending to some family emergencies, but now I'm back and ready to roll!
> New Velineon Power System by Traxxas!
Traxxas just came out with a new brushless power system that can reach speeds over 70mph! It's pretty revolutionary technology and it's compatible with brushed, brushless, and sensored brushless motors.
The Velineon VXL-3s ESC and the Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor is sure to be top competitors and is bought for roughly $300 USD. You can watch a video traxxas has set up here to see all the cool features they have.
> RC Video of an HPI Savage With Some Fireworks Attached!
This is hilarious. Some guys attach some fireworks to their Savage - do not attempt! (or do, it's really up to you!)

Duratrax Nitro Evader ST
> RC Car Videos Issue
I've been getting e-mails that say that all our RC videos are not showing on the page anymore. At first, I had this same issue, but after rebooting my computer, all the videos are there again.
On a side note from RC cars, supposedly the 'code' that is most commonly used to embed videos has been copywrited by microsoft off some other company. Now, everyone is going to have to update the way they put videos on their site sometime soon. At first I thought that's what happened to the videos on our site, but apparently it's all good for the time being. Companies, always fighting over something - eventually we'll all be one big 'global corp', and they will make the best RC cars around! ha ha. Anyway, here's an article about the whole video thing if you're interested in this silly legal battle.
So to answer your questions, please reboot, the videos will be there :)
> Pictures From RCX 2007
As you know, the end of March/ beginning of april was the RC Expo, and now RC Car Action has put up some pics of the event if you're curious to see what goes on at an event like this. Maybe this will pursuade you to go next year! Check em out here.
> Duratrax Nitro Evader ST Review Now Up!
At 1/10th scale, the Duratrax Nitro Evader ST has all the makings of a great beginner truck. Duratrax really knows how to take care of their drivers, because when you get the Evader, you've already got everything you need to get running. There's nothing worse then getting a new RC vehicle, and you're sitting there for two or more hours trying to figure out how to get the darn machine operational! It comes with a video on how to get started, so for those of you who are bad with instructions, just watch and learn. Here we're going to outline some of the pro and cons for the vehicle, as well as show you pictures and videos of it racing around in action!
