I love seeing r/c get some good camera time. I've always thought that with the right exposure it would see an interest explosion. Traxxas is certainly doing more than their part regardless of anyone's opinion of them. I'd heard a rumor that the SPEED channel was going to cover major R.O.A.R. events, but it never came to fruition. It did lead to a soap opera thread that ended in a banning though... ...

So does anyone have any links to seriously great high level r/c racing? I see vids all the time, but rarely are they epic racing.

Here's a link to a video I thought was pretty epic. This is the Last few laps of The Dirt's Nitro Challenge pro truggy A-main. I watched the whole 45 minute race, and Maifield and Tebo battled it out the whole time. Maifield lost out ultimately because he had to make one more fuel stop than Tebo. Pesky Reedy engines get crap for fuel mileage.

Now that's some good video! Nice and crisp. Even with that high quality though I can see that if r/c would ever be televised at a high level they may have to get each racer to go with a solid color shell and wheels. The average viewer would never keep up unless they had about 16 cameras and I'm afraid that will just never happen.
