I thought it would be fun to watch it too but, holy cow...:roll: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I/m glad I recorded it..I must have fast forwarded through half of it..

It was neat seeing a few big names (in R/C) on TV.

I think they could have edited at least 30 minutes out.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

Finally had time to sit and watch this and I was a bit disappointed. I felt the director needed to focus on just one driver the entire time or the overall racing to at least draw you in a bit more. I also hoped for a bit more technical information. The documentary just seemed too random. Not to mention he should have hired a professional speaker for the voice overs(his voice got on my nerves for some reason).

But hey, at least he tried. I'm sure he'd tell me "If you think you can do better then go for it!" :|

EDIT: I did find the montage on creating greater public interest kinda cool.
