Racers Edge SC RaceCase Transporter bag

New from Racers Edge, the SC RaceCase was inspired by the emerging Short Course class of vehicles, but its capacity and design reach far beyond. With the optional mid-deck installed the case can carry two on road sedans up to 200mm and this would also include any minis or smaller, like HPI Cup Racer sedans. Once the mid-deck is removed the RaceCase can transport an 1/8th scale buggy with the tires and wing on, comp and scale crawlers, 1/10th scale off road trucks and buggies, and of course Short Course trucks like the Traxxas Slash and Team Associated SC10. It will also carry the 1/8th scale versions of this class like the Team Associated RC8. An integrated radio compartment offers easy transmitter storage, or extra room for tires, tools, or whatever else you can think of. There are also two external pockets with tough zippers for extra storage, while reinforced carry handles in two locations offer comfortable carrying positions no matter what you’re transporting. The shoulder strap also offers a hands free carrying position for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.

VRC Column – VRC Pro is WYSISWYR…

R/C simulators have some very special features which make them the ideal simulation, more than any other type of simulation game. The most important feature is the nature of r/c (for remote or radio control) itself. Being in a remote position to control the car means that there is no other feedback than through seeing and hearing. R/C racers have developed special skills to control their cars by what they see and what they hear and translate that to their hands to operate the radio. A real car or flight simulator lacks for instance the all important feedback from G-forces generated by the car or airplane when it turns, accelerates, climbs or dives. R/C racing is purely an audiovisual experience so if what you see and hear on your monitor is an almost perfect simulation of the real world (track and car behavior) and if you can control your car with your own radio then you have the perfect sim! We call this WYSIWYR, What You See Is What You Race…
