There are so many things to talk to when we are in the leisure mode again. One thing that seldom come is the RC Wiring. Obviously we never covered this topic here in RC Nitro Offroad Blog but we have somehow talked about the Non-Nitro side of offroad in this blog. 
Either you checked on the Rock Crawling section or the Brushless buggy category, they all have some kind of wiring to do. Meaning you need specific rc wires and not the Cat6 cables. You need soldering gun and iron. To newbies, this sound so hard and yes, we ever gone through the same pain too. However, if you look on the current market for electric products with the exception that you are already a professional racer, most of the electric products are plug and play systems. If you are familiar with computer, you know what we mean by plug and play system. Same case with RC electric wiring system. Especially on the RTR (Ready-To-Run) system. All you have to is just get your battery, connect the included plug to the electronic speed controller and you are done. Even some of the system need no tuning. Just turn off and turn on, you are already ready to run. So easy.

If you remember well, we talked about Yannick new venture The Aigoin’s Racing with GRP products and our rambling on the drug rehab thing which we are very sorry. Sometimes when everything does not come into place, the stress come to attack us. 
Anyway, thanks to our RC Partner, Neobuggy.net to make us straight again. They featured a story on Yannick Aigoin’s Racing but specifically on the new GRP RC Engine inside look. Neobuggy has done an interview on Yannick a month ago regarding his prototype engine but no details leaked as at that moment. This was Yannick’s answer when the question popped at him.
“The GRP engine that I am currently testing is a prototype engine which has no name yet” (Y.Aigoin)
Here what Neobuggy.net reported on their site.
It’s fair to say that Yannick’s first race with all this new equipment was a baptism of fire, 2 of the year’s biggest races – Worlds warmup and the Nitrocross race. Results were mixed, but the potential was there.

Have you checked the onboard video camera on Adrien Bertin Buggy? Now that is one cool onboard video shot. I am very sure it can somehow help you to visualize how the buggy gone through all the bumps and jumps; how you see the shocks doing their jobs and indirectly see the style of Adrien’s driving. In short, the video camera can help you and I go through the track in a better different perspective.

Yes and I am not kidding when we said HongNor / Jammin X1CR terrorized the recent Puerto Rico Offroad final championship. Imagine 6 out of 10 are HongNors racers in Buggy class while in the truggy class nearly all HongNors racers with the exception of one Losi and Mugen racers. Now this is what I call The Land Of The HongNors!
But of course, Juan Torres was the ‘Man of The Match’ as they call it in the Football. He not only won first in the Buggy, he also captured the top trophy in the truggy class. Just plain awesome Torres!
The Puerto Rico Offroad Association (PROFA) has finished it’s annual points championship. With all championships comming down to the final race it was a very intense race. With over 325 racers the annual point series was a success.
There were 6 HongNor/Jammin X1CR cars in the A main final and 8 X1-CRT cars in the truggy final. Juan Torres driving a X1-CR won the First position of 1/8 buggy class and with the X1-CRT he also won the first of truggy class.

We love GRP Products and in fact, everything about GRP we like. So anything related to GRP is of course our concern too. So it is appropriate to talk about Aigon Racing too simply because they are The New Distributor for GRP Products in France. The name sounds familiar isn’t it? Yes, it is the same Yannick Aigoin, The great Pro driver who used to drive for XRay XB8 Buggy and now with Team Losi on their 8ight buggy. Cool.

OK, another of our popular RC Rambling on our RC Leisure moment. Let us all be honest, RC Products are no cheap products. It is not a cheap hobby that everyone can just simply come on board. That is the sad part in all this. RC as in Radio Control or Remote control is after all The Big Boys Toys.
Now, what about the small boys? Are they not worthy to play the same toys like us? I am not sure how you all started in this hobby but I still remember how I started. I tell you this in front, credit cards are your friends when come to buying RC Products. Nearly everything about RC I bought using the credit cards. Simply because the protection of buying things with credit card and of course, you do not have to carry many cash with you.
