Mr Ray:
Hi guys,

Will it ever take off in America like Rock Crawling has?

Hello and welcome!

We hope that this will grow as crawling has and one day we will have huge rc formula offroad world championships. You can drive crawling almost everywhere but rc formula offroad requires always a certain terrain, hills. I've got many private messages where people have complained about lack of sand hills. I belive that's the major reason why people who would otherwise build a foff car stay back.

I guess we just have to wait till 1/1 formula offroad takes place in the US and after that think about RC. It'll take obviously many years and recession doesn't help it...

Mr Ray:
Thanks you for your welcome,

Do you know if there are any plans to start 1:1 Formula Offroad in US?

Given the chance RC FOFF could take off just like crawling with the right coverage.

Crawling started in the same way with people building crawlers from parts and now most of the RC companies made a RC crawler

I heard a few years ago that there has been some plans to conquer North America but now because of recession the whole 1/1 thing was about to take a break this year. For example many drivers have sold their cars and the ones who haven't can't afford travelling bills.

As you said rc foff will need the right coverage to rise. I can't see any other way for that than being part of a 1/1 competition. I wish I'm wrong because this is the most satisfying thing you can do with RC cars. Everyone should try foff at least once.

Mr Ray:
Its a shame that 1/1 has been put back for now in America. I can see the Americans loving Formula Off-Road but we'll have to wait and see.

Not had a go at FoFF but tried general Buggy, Truggy and Monster Truck driving and its cool.

Tried rock crawling but its not for me so I think FoFF will suit me. ;D

The cost of 1/1 is very expensive but I reckon World wide FoFF could be the next big thing in RC ;)
