Kyosho Inferno MP9 Prototype Secret Buggy Shots!?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008 2,469 views

We are late on this. Kyosho Inferno MP9 New Prototype Buggy. So far only these few shots we have from our reliable source at Radio Control Zone. One thing for certain, we love the secrecy. Especially with these few Inferno MP9 shots with their cool motorcycle tank aerodynamic look. We might just buy it and never to run it.

They look so cool just like that. Well done Kyosho. Hope there are really something new inside. Totally out the world kind of thing. Although we doubt 100% new inside, knowing well all this years buggy configuration are almost all the same, we still hope Kyosho will pioneer something really new and high tech. Yeah. :D

Are you looking for RC Job?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008 1,228 views

Well are you looking for some serious RC (radio control) Job? If you are, I am sure you either stumble upon the big boss and somehow made friend with him or her and you end up as one of their employee or you happen to be one good driver who keeps winning and always if not often at the top of the podium and somehow got noticed by the big rc companies and you are hired as one of their rc kit developer or adviser.

On the other hand, you are not so lucky like them but you decided to try it through the traditional way, through writing in your resume. Yep, this is a tough job and like it or not you have to write it properly with whatever qualification you have. I tell you, this is no easy task. The chances of getting the call for interview is really slim. This is after all the RC, Radio Control Job you are looking for. Most definitely will be a practical interview. Be it driving the rc cars or drawing using some expensive 3D software. Either way, your resume need to look good, very good with pictures if can, to make that first impression that just beaming, “I am good and you need me”.

So how are you going to achieve that?

Insurance Coverage for your RC Stuffs, anyone?

Friday, May 16th, 2008 257 views

This is just a thought. There are so many rc kits out there. Buggy, Truggy, Monster Truck, Mini Truck, Electric RC Car etc. When you are traveling around meaning where you have to carry luggage aboard the aeroplane to go for international race, I am just wondering whether you guys have any coverage, insurance coverage like what we have for the car insurance???

The traveling alone already costing us in hundreds if not in thousands of our currency. Not to mention our radio control stuffs. Definitely more than a few thousands, easily. Is there such a thing for rc stuffs to be insured? We never traveled that far and never so far encounter the feelings of losing our rc luggages and never happened so far. Thanks to our reliable local airports. However, seriously. I think we should considered having our rc stuffs insured. Honestly speaking, I rather lose my clothings than my KO Propo Helios radio. Hahaha. Especially when the rc radio was bought by your spouse as a birthday present. Ehem. :D

RC Best Buy, where?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 618 views

For us when we just have to buy something great, we either go for the latest rc stuffs available from our local hobbyshop or simply go to some sites, like forums to get the best buy. One place that we never stop going is at RC equipment for sale thread. Well of course most of them are just second hands but if you look real hard, you can find gems there. We did :D

On that term alone, best buy can be what is best for us. It does not mean best buy with expensive price tag. Don’t you agree? You can check at Buy Dot Com for everything else.

Ok, we just rambling here. ;)

We have quite a few tracks around in Malaysia. In the Peninsular and in the Borneo, namely track in Sabah and in Sarawak. So many the unofficial one of course. We mean by that is simply because most of the tracks are self made, self maintained and of personal use. Other than our wonderful and of the beautiful track in Malaysia, HMS Racing Speedway, we would like also to feature one track that JonehRC would like to bring your attention to. The HPC Glenmarie Track.

This track gone through many changes and of course it has to be like that so to make every races, every meet fun and exciting. Furthermore, HPC Glenmarie has been hosting many big events and all of them we have to say (from other witnesses too) that each of them successful and every racers gone home with great memories, if not the trophies.
