Axle Twisters RC Group – T.T.C 2009
Posted by RCSparks in RCSparks Chronicles on January 24th, 2011 | No Comments yet »Quoting WikiPedia – “Tough Truck competitions can be dated back to the first 4×4 clubs.[when?] Friends and other club members would navigate across obstacles courses built to test the vehicle and the drivers capabilities, thus proving who has the “toughest” truck. During 1988 and 1989, these events became extremely popular, and with that, 1990 saw the first designated Tough Truck events.”
Well now the hobby of RC and scale truck building has been taken to the next level. In celebration of the 1:1 Scale Competitions.. 1/10 th Scale RC Competitions were inevitable!
I am very fortunate to have run into such a great group called “The Axle Twisters RC Club” in Lethbridge Alberta. In 2009, They held western Canada’s first ever RC Tough Truck Competition. The Axle Twisters hosted the event, and invited Scale builders to make their own versions of TTC trucks. People built their rigs for months.. travelled 100’s of kilometers.. and in the late summer month of August 2009 – they tested their mite, rigs and skill against brutal courses, blazing Sun, and some of the most well built rigs Western Canada had to offer. For more information about the rules and regulations of this now extremely popular RC Sport.. please visit www.CrawlCanada.com. Check out the Club section for the Axle Twisters.. and tell them RCSparks sent ya. They are a great group of enthusiasts.
Enjoy!
