THROTTLE
Written from the pit lane. For the people who bleed diff oil.
RC car racing doesn't have a magazine that respects its readers. The hobby press is either a product catalogue dressed as journalism or a forum thread that never got edited. Throttle is neither.
"We believe the person who spends six hours dialling in their front ride height for a club race deserves the same quality of writing as any motorsport fan."
We're building a magazine by the people who argue Spektrum versus Futaba at midnight, who know the difference between a 13.5T and a modified stock class, and who've driven home with a car held together by zip ties and conviction.
