I had so much fun last year and enjoyed meeting so many great people, I will be at the Halifax RC Park booth again this year.
I recently decided to upgrade my action camera, I wanted something for RC as well as my Model Trains. After looking at all the options and price being a major factor, I decided on the iON Air Pro 2. After looking online, I found one at Wal-Mart for $199 Canadian. This camera is the mid level camera in the iON series. The Air Pro 2 is a rugged 1080p HD video camera, that is waterproof to 30ft and has a 180 degree viewing angle. Weighting in at 4.5 ounces, you can easily put this camera just about anywhere. It also includes Wifi. “WiFi PODZ” provides wireless capability to your ion camera. You can access and transfer your photos and videos to your PC, mobile phone or tablet. It also turns your mobile device into a viewfinder as you can live-stream the camera view from your mobile device. Continue Reading
Colin Furze reminds of us of the days of a good ole fashion harmless prank. Check out this Green Bin as it takes to the streets in Stamford United Kingdom.
Have you ever heard of Dude Perfect? Have you ever heard of RC fishing? I had not until a friend of mine showed me this video. Dude Perfect are very popular for their various YouTube videos and described themselves as “5 Best Friends and a Panda”. In their latest video installment they got into the RC’s and had a “RC Battle”. These guys aren’t RC professionals, but they sure know how to have a good time. Check out the video and watch the good times and mayhem ensue.
Check out the rest of the Dude Perfect videos on their Youtube Channel.
Hmmm, I wonder if Traxxas had anything to do with this video?

I have been pretty good this year especially since my wife put up the “Elf on the Shelf” to keep an eye on me. I hope Santa brings me something RC related for having to put up with that creepy little fella watching me.
Make sure you take time to enjoy those little moments with friends and family. We hope Santa is good to you all and we wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.
God Bless you all.

If you have been around this hobby for any length of time and have turned to the internet for guidance or research, then you probably stumbled onto Ultimate RC and eventually bookmarked the site. The site has been offline since November 19th and Jang(The owner) has been working very hard to get it back up and running. Has been keeping users informed as he makes progress and now he is reaching out to the RC community for a little help. He would like us to simply click around a few partial (partially broken) pages on the site. If you are interested in helping, get the complete story and details at Ultimate RC.
10 Facts on Remembrance Day
- Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
- From 1921 to 1930, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. In 1931, Alan Neill, Member of Parliament for Comox–Alberni, introduced a bill to observe Armistice Day only on November 11. Passed by the House of Commons, the bill also changed the name to “Remembrance Day”. The first Remembrance Day was observed on November 11, 1931.
- Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.
- The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to provide assistance to Veterans.
- Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada. It is also a statutory holiday in three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) and in six provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador).
- The national ceremony is held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Governor General of Canada presides over the ceremony. It is also attended by the Prime Minister, other government officials, representatives of Veterans’ organizations, diplomatic representatives, other dignitaries, Veterans as well as the general public.
- In advance of the ceremony, long columns of Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP officers, and cadets march to the memorial lead by a pipe band and a colour guard. At the end of the ceremony, they march away to officially close the ceremony.
- Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11.
- Many nations that are not members of the Commonwealth also observe Remembrance Day on November 11, including France, Belgium and Poland.
- The United States used to commemorate Armistice Day on November 11. However, in 1954 they changed the name to Veterans Day.

This is a custom build of a school bus, that was purpose built for drifting. The very detailed build thread can be found at RC-Drift (Translation may be required). The video of the bus in action is very cool and was found at Drift Team Linz.
I really enjoy finding these custom builds on the internet. They really prove that this hobby is only limited by your imagination and budget.
