FAQ Statement
Below is a list of questions we most often get
asked. We hope you find the information helpful.
Location
Where are you guys located?
Answer: We are mainly based out of Bakersfield California, but have members from all
over California, Arizona and Texas.
What tracks do you race at?
Answer: There are a number of tracks that we race at together. Central Valley RC Club, Racers Haven, Hot Rod Hobbies, Golden Hills Raceway, Full Throttle Hobby and several others. Check the forum for more information.
Equipment
Which RC Car should I buy?
Answer: All of us drive different vehicles from all the major manufacturers. Our best
answer would be to go to your local track and hobby shop. Find out what other racers are driving so that you can get setup help and make sure the LHS has part support.
Are hop up parts necessary?
Answer: Most cars these days are race ready right out of the box. There are always some weak parts that an aftermarket company might make that are better than the
original although most are just for appearance. Run the vehicle you choose stock and see which parts wear or break the most often. If you notice it is always the same part,
check and see if an aftermarket company is putting out an improved version that actually helps solve the problem that is causing the wear or breakage of the original part. For
others, the “Bling” factor is a huge part and some of the fun of building a racer.
Experience
How do I become faster at the track?
Answer: Practice, Practice, Practice... Nothing improves your driving than actual wheel
time. When you are not racing watch how other racers drive, watch their line, listen to their engines for when they are on and off power. Walk the track and get a good upclose
look at the variables. You will often notice things you cannot see from the drivers stand.
