Big boys bond over passion for small remote control cars


Four tyres of this remote controlled car wrapped in tyre heaters and tissue paper to keep them at between 60 and 70°C before the race.

Calm precision. That seems to be the best way to describe the mood around men getting ready to race with their remote control (RC) cars.

Before “race day” begins, one of them straps a commercial, petrol-powered leaf blower on his back and blasts every square metre of the 200m speedway with it.
