My name is Chad, I’m 15 and go to a technical high school
for manufacturing. I just saw your article “ 10 Best Jobs in
RC” (May 2013) and I wanted to say thanks. I met with
my guidance counselor the next morning and brought
the article in with me to show him what I want to do. I
always wondered how people got into RC, so this couldn’t
have come at a better
time. ;anks! – Chad,

I had a Yokomo YZ10 a long time ago and am looking to
get back into the 4 WD. I am looking at the Associated
B44.2 or the Durango DEX410V3 and read your review
on the B44.2. Could you possibly also review the Durango
in an upcoming issue? As of right now, I’m leaning toward
the Durango, but would like to know a little more about it

When I was your age,
I wondered the same
thing. My teacher
dragged my class into
the library, handed out
a list of di;erent jobs,
and told us to pick one.
Lawyer, Accountant,
Grocery Cart Collector
— none of these options
sounded good to me.
What was a punk with
a shaved head and
a Pantera T-shirt to
do? I ended up picking
electronic engineering,
thinking I could make
speed controls or
chargers. Good thing
I ended up at a magazine, or you’d probably be running
something that resembles a toaster in your car! ;at
article is for you and anyone else like us, my friend — hope
to see you in RC someday. – Erich
so I could make up my mind. I like both cars, just not sure
which way to go. – Kevin H.

Both are great buggies and it’s definitely not an easy
choice, which is why you’ll see RC Car Action getting back
to multi-car shootouts and “head to head” matchups
between the hottest cars and trucks in the most
competitive categories. Unless you’re loaded and can buy
'em all, there’s no way the average guy like yourself can
compare every car on your wish list—but we can. Stay
tuned. —Pete
;ere’s always one must-have item you
have to bring with you when traveling.
Which got us wondering — What’s the
farthest destination you’ve ever taken your RC car on vacation?
;e North Pole. – Marc Guilbault
I took my RC10 Worlds Car
from Gulfport, MS, all the way
to the island of Guam.

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
My buddy and I both picked up Nitro Slashes and are
having a blast. ;ere are woods behind my house where
we’ve built a few jumps, one is six feet tall! ;e other
day when we were bashing around, one of my neighbors
called the cops to complain that we were making too
much noise. We weren’t on their property or anything,
so I don’t get the big deal. We were thinking of just going
back out there anyway. What do you think? -Eric
I took my XRAY XB8
from Japan to New
Jersey and back again.

I have taken
my Slash to the Oregon coast
to play on the sand dunes.
;at’s over 500 miles away
from my home!

I’m always a believer in communicating to resolve a
problem and think your answer might be as simple as
that. However, there’s nothing lost in trying to talk to your
neighbor and see what it was that bothered him in the
first place. Nitro cars are actually pretty noisy — awesome,
but noisy — so try and run your trucks when no one is
home. Another thing to think about is that even if you’re
building jumps in the woods and it’s not your neighbor’s
property, he may still have to look at your huge piles of dirt
and I can see how that would be annoying. An ounce of
consideration is all that’s usually needed to get your way
and keep everyone else happy at the same time. – Erich
