WOW! What a great event! I had the privilege of filming the 2010 Axle Twisters Scale Off Road RC Club Tough Truck Competition this year, and what a great time had by all!
Now to sort through all the great footage, and show the world what Scale Trail Trucks can do at their best!
A special thanks to all of the Axle Twisters RC club and the videographers who graciously submitted their work for placement into the video series. You sure had some great angles and wicked footage to add some extra spice to this great jamboree.
There was a total of 6 events making this years TTC one to remember! I will be adding new videos to this thread as I have them available for release.
Some Folks have asked about the RULES of this TTC... Well my friends at Axle Twisters came up with the regulations and specs.. so Ill post them here for you to see for the competition videos
