MICRO RC
TURN ANY ROOM INTO AN
RC RACE PARK!
WORDS MATT HIGGINS PHOTOS HOPE MCCALL
THINK YOU NEED A LOT OF SPACE FOR RC? WELL, THINK AGAIN.
Today’s RC vehicles come in every size imaginable and are even
available in micro-size. Don’t mistake these 1⁄36-scale wonders for
toys. These vehicles are fully functioning, high-performance race
machines that can do everything the big cars and trucks can do, only
in a smaller space. In fact, micros allow you to turn a room of any
size into an RC race park!

RACE LANES
You’ll need to mark the race lanes
to keep everyone on track. You can
line the track with pillows, wires or
similar objects. Tape works great
for making long straights, but you
might need a pillow here and there
to keep people honest.
