on a rock crawler you could do anything it was that easy like these cars have become so capable so now that style of crawling where you build like a super dedicated car isn't really what's popular right now right now in rock crawling it's all about scale it's all about making the car look realistic and not just like from appearances but like when it's on a rock like does it move realistically does it flex realistically like a real car and that's a little bit cheaper to to achieve now compared to the competitive crawlers of about NUMBER_TOKEN years ago so it just comes in waves you know once something becomes popular then that that price uh curve goes up because people start taking it competitive seriously in a competitive sense uh thanks in part to the kova NUMBER_TOKEN pandemic rc racing is experiencing a rebirth stuck at home with nothing to do hobbies ruled in NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN and rc racing was no exception news outlets like the washington post have covered rc racing events intrigued by the fandom's reinvigorated interest in the hobby according to several sources many current drivers grew up building and playing with the carts and quickly reacclimated to a hobby that allows one to spend a few hundred bucks make things drive kind of fast of course remote control cars have usage outside of racing for example the current most expensive rc car in the world the free fly tarot is designed to be used with camera equipment for low level action shots at a hefty cost five thousand dollars we should get one on the other end of the scale rc cars are a significant part of the toy market and a constant in pop culture perhaps reaching a peak with the inclusion of rc car character in the toy story franchise of toy grade rc cars are often cheaply made but not and not built to last they certainly captured kids imaginations everyone probably has some memory of the first time they got to drive by holding a miniature controller in their hands yeah and making a snake pop up and it looks like your dad peed his pants and put all your uncles at the crawford what does the future look like for rc racing with recent advancements in technology like the introduction of brushless electric motors lithium-ion batteries and larger more powerful engines rc fans can expect that things will only get bigger and better from here with auto racing in general seeming to have an increasingly electrified future who knows maybe rc racing's biggest moment in the spotlight is yet to come and maybe we might use them for war we already do um dude i love rc cars man uh there's an event out in vegas uh the nprc no prep rc drag racing event where like hundreds of people show up and they they build purpose-built drag cars that do a scale quarter mile in like two seconds i definitely want to make a trip out there look king of the street five thousand dollar call out you know why is there no prep allowed well no prep is the uh the pavement that just means the track isn't prep they do it out at what's it's not speed ventures but there's that uh there's that track right before you hit vegas is it like speed vegas speed vegas they do it in the speed vegas parking lot i definitely want to make it out there looks like
