IonA RC

I recently read an article in my favorite RC magazine that outlined the prevailing RC trends. At the top of their list are touring cars. This may seem surprising because for several years the use of touring cars in the hobby had all but died. The magazine argues that the combination of competitive touring car clubs and high-profile releases, like the Traxxas Rally VXL, will buoy the hobby.

Other top trends in the world of RC cars include drifting and short course racing. Drifting looks incredibly cool and the equipment is generally inexpensive. The only drawback for many drivers is that it takes a lot of time to develop drifting skills. People who are looking for instant satisfaction will be disappointed. Short course racing is incredibly popular and is helping to grow the hobby and increase the sales of short course racing trucks.
