Our RC offroad fun in Miri

Enjoy our buddies RC off-road bashing video.

R/C off-roading shootout

Our flying r/c buddies went off-roading at local nearby hills to shoot a movie for off-roading scene in HD.  So we went over to some local favorite hill where i used to ride my mountain bike over and was favorite r/c crawling venue.  Our models aren't much consistant in size and type so there lots of funny randomness in action.   We are not the type of R/C people who do serious r/c racing yet.  But for now we like to hangout out for r/c action and had a good laugh.  Well that waht most big boys do at weekends expecially those R/c pilots when they're back on ground.

buggy bash!

Ah its sunday! a great time to be outdoor again. After church session, i went out for full blown breakfast, pick up my friend and away we go at out to the local off-road race track outskirt of town at 10.30am. Morning was hot, the sky was blue and clear added with pure white flaky clouds. We're carried load of equipment into the track and pit our self on our nitro r/c buggy for preparation to bash around the circuit. Our adrenalin fired up in seconds after we start our engine and hearing those tempting high reving nitro engine pump up those high pitch sound like F1 engine and the smells of methane smoke in the morning. We push our little machine around the track, we punch in the throttle, hit the bump and jump as high as we can. It feels like it hang on in the high in the mid air like a minutes. Certain time it jump as high as 1 storey building and landed perfectly on the dirt like stunt dare devil. That was awesome. Then we race side by side spewing huge amount of dust and leave trails like dusty sand storm. It went on and on till afternoon. The amount of people turn up from three to more than 20 racer. The track getting more crowded and the adrenalin pace was a huge rush. Sweats, scorching heat of the sun, sunburn, high pitch screaming noises of the engine, the smell of methanol smoke and voices of people shouting and cheering getting more and more. At the end by 6.30pm eveyrthing slows down as everyone brought their r/c buggy/truggy machine back to their pit for services, packing and ready to leave. The track owner and owner of our favorite local hobby shop Mr. Foo of Foo Brother Hobby Shop was their giving full support both technical and moral to the racer. Also would like to thank Skydark of Mcnet for the drinks. Anyone i was covered in dust and ready for a cool bath. What a day well spent!

Saturday day out.




No surprise now i'm much back again into Radio Control scene after absent for years. The parts getting cheaper and the trends also pushing up way popular then ever. I've already put my investment into few hobby grade R/C models and daily wnet outdoor for fulltime spin around local ground if i'm not onto mountain biking for the day which pretty much explain why i'm relax a day after the ride. Last Saturday evening me and my buddy who's on bigfoot bettle doing some off-roading near the beach but i've settle some technical problem for 1 hours then manage to get going later on the dirt. I've spent 30 minutes fulltime swing around and jump on the dirt with my truck doing some big air and then flip tumble 360 degree and back on its wheel again ready to sprint all over the track. It was fun pastime and great way to be outdoor watching me driving along with friends remotely on miniature car/trucks. As usually there always few trade off after fun bashing around the dirt...yeah back at home always been maintenance work, lubricating, adjusting suspension setup, tunning the electronics and unlucky me i had broken servo which cost me few bucks to fix it but its no biggy.

Adventure ride into MIRI rural country side.



Its muddy sunday today as i went along for an adventure ride into rural district of oil palm plantation area which consist of hilly hills, so we go up and down and visit some locals who live away from urban civilization. We start riding at 3.30pm and finished at 7.00pm. The road are pretty wet and muddy but its easy since its just some non-technical trails unlike the jungle where we previously hit the dust. Above are some picture taken on our last evening ride. "Picture worth more than words". I've enjoyed my self today as i've pushed my body to the max going up the some killer hill.
