Well, as the Spring / Summer is now upon us.. we are all privileged to see the NiTRO’s come alive! The Blackfoot / Wild Rose RC track is always PACKED with cool cars and amazing trucks. In this video I was able to capture some FANTASTIC BASHING and Freestyle, open course racing. The drivers didn’t let me down even for a moment! It was SPEEDY high Flying action and I am glad I grabbed my camera! So, without a further ado.. I hope you Enjoy this video.. and it inspires you to get out, and HAVE SOME FUN!

Here is a Link to the discussion forum!

At the RCSparks Studio.. I like to make mention of other RC Videographers that Make an EXTRA Special effort to have the hobby promoted in the COOLEST WAY possible! One of the ways I can do this is by featuring AWESOME videos from these Artists. “DOGCrick” is a Scale RC Video Producer that is certainly a rising star in the world of online Video RC Promotion. Dogcricks “real name” is Joshua Elliot.. and he has been pumping out pretty darn cool videos on Youtube and across the internet! I am very happy to showcase the following video from him, and Ask you to Subscribe to his channel! He has THE VISION & Deserves Front Page at RCSPARKS! If you look closely at his Youtube channel.. you will even see that his Dogs “D-BOE, JELLY & MOKE DA MONSTER” love to get in on the action!

The RC4WD Trail Finder 2 has been a great Model for my build series. Im doing my best to Mimic the UK’s version of the Top Gear Hilux Truck.. and Wow.. Im simply STOKED! Im leaving everything on the chassis STOCK. I have only modified the Plastic Pieces of the BODY to make it look beaten up, aged, and making it look as though its been through HELL AND BACK! In this video I show how I detail some of my rust areas.. and continue to make the truck as realistic looking as possible. This tutorial series is a longer format – showing where BUILDING AN RC can be full of creative style, imagination and best of all.. FUN!

My Friends, I came across a GREAT Video by “TheDarkDragonWing” team on YOUTUBE!

I have been working with the Savage Flux myself lately.. and after seeing another Cool video from this team, I wanted to do something to promote their creativity. The Front Page of RCSparks is what I could come up with! “Manny and Mackey” are young video producers who have been working very hard, and you can tell in their videos quality and ENERGY! Each video by these guys has been Fun, and Energetic.. really promoting the Exciting part of the hobby! Their channel was Started in 2009

Great Job Guys!
