Our Collection
Team Associated
The 1980's was an amazing thing. Whether you were coming into it, or coming out of it - Radio Control was making huge advancements. The Team Associated RC10 is probably the most iconic actual race car to come out this era.
Team Associated or Associated....is still going. Last year they started the vintage races in Las Vegas. Our very own local drivers, Seth Rupe and Ben Schink, raced this event. Seth's cars are featured here in his color scheme brand....Sketchy Seth's Frozen Treats & Racing. The chassis are classic RC10 Cliff Lett Edition RC10T (Truggy) and Masami Hirosaka Stealth RC10 Buggy. Both have modern upgrades of brushless motors, ECS's and extremely fast steering servos making lighting fast. Both of these cars are signed by Cliff Lett and Masami Hirosaka.

Spring Blazer & Enduro
The Black Chevy K5 is a Traxxas TRX4. This particular model retails for 599.99 and includes everything except a battery & charger. It includes a long arm lift kit, 2.2 tires, remote 2 speed transmission, and remote locking differentials. It comes in several body options and is fully customizable to include adding LED lighting, remote winch, and bed accessories. The TRX-4 brand comes in may styles and colors, to include Ford, Chevy, & Mercedes!
​
The Enduro Gatekeeper is a crawler's dream! This thing can out handle anything with ti's ridiculous suspension, low center of gravity, and light body (keeping the real weight toward the ground. Completely customizable, easy to add tires, rims, lights, or even your own paint scheme. We rely pretty heavily on Dalton's Alaskan RC Adventures to show you what the crawling world is all about, whether you buy Traxxas, Axial, Enduro, or even scrap build your own. Check out the video by Dalton's Alaskan RC Adventures!
The Boat
Traxxas M41 Catamaran​
The Traxxas M41 Catamaran dominates the waters with its size and speed, as one of the largest models offered by the company. It is meant to replicate the DCB M41, Dave’s Custom Boats founder Dave Hemingston specifically designed the full-size M41 to blend speed with ultimate power with a pair of Mercury racing engines. The smaller-scale replica reaches a speed of more than 50 miles per hour running the Traxxas 6S brushless power system.
​
You can trust Traxxas to provide ready-to-run vehicles that require no assembly or tweaking. Simply place them in the water and watch their brushless motors provide much-needed energy to get racing. Reach high speeds across the water and skim through any current.
There are many options, check out this video of the M41 SuperB

The Flying Hobby
We have been into the flying hobby for decades. All of the planes hanging above you really fly, and most HAVE been flown by us at some point.
Starting with the blue SuperCub proudly pulling Country Cafe's banner, this was one fo the largest foam planes made by E-flite. It's the Carbon Z Cub, and runs on a 6s (6cell or 22 volt) battery. E-flight has come up with several variants over the years, to include the Carbon Z Cessna, T-28, and the famous Skip Stewart BiPlane! Here's how they fly
​
If you are interested in getting into the flying hobby, come by and see us. There are many beginner / entry level setups that are simple and easy to fly. There is also a local flying cub, Midnight Night Sun Radio Control, which has it's own dedicated flying field near 9mile Richardson Hwy.
Helicopters 101
RC helicopters have been around for over 40 years. Early models were extremely expensive...and mostly unreliable. What has changed over the years, is better precision in the manufacturing and much more reliable electronics. Because larger helicopters, like the "Zombie Response" hanging over your head, need torque and high rpm to spin the large blades...there is a lot of room for error both in the manufacturing and build processes. RC helicopters today come in several sizes, ranging from micro (tiny handheld toys) to giant 900 gas and electric beasts (which are extremely dangerous).
​​
Just like real helicopters, there is a gryo that tames the tail rotor. Many larger RC helicopters have highly tamed gyro's to aid the pilot by limiting pitch and bank angles (making them easier to fly); however, 3D pilots typically have these turned down so they can fly inverted, sideways, and in reverse!
The one hanging above you is a 600 size, which is about mid level. This particular helicopter is an older model Align (brand) that has had many expensive upgrades to make it 3D capable, meaning it can literally defy the laws of physics with being able to perform unbelievable aerobatics. Newer helicopters, like this yellow 800size SAB Goblin, are manufactured with 3D flight built in mind. They are more powerful and lighter with carbon fiber frames and blades. A helicopter like the SAB, with the transmitter, will set you back about $2,500! You will still have to build it and program it so it flys how you want. Check it out
