Welcome to the VPGRacing WEB site.

    This site is dedicated to covering remote control car racing at Matrox. We race 1/10 scale remote control sedans during our lunch brake. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what this is all about. CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE A FULL SIZE VERSION

  This gives you an idea of what our track looks like    

    The little black rectangles on the ground are pieces of rubber mats that we cut into pieces. These are actually pretty good for track markers since it takes about 3-5 minutes to layout the track and we never break our cars hitting any barriers.

Above is a picture of some of us. From left we have Steve and his Losi StreetWeapon, Anthony and Jean with their Ofna Z-10, Dan with his Associated TC3 and Finally Francois with his Ofna Z-10.

    Below are a collection of pictures of a typical lunch break racing session. You will notice that our track is setup on a hockey rink. The asphalt is 2 years old but since it has never seen regular traffic use, it's like brand new and absolutely flat.

Below is what a traffic jam looks like on our track. Talk about close racing.

Here is what happens when two cars decide to follow the same line through the hairpin.

During and after the impact.

    Now we can take a closer look at the cars we drive. The are 1/10 scale remote control car. They weight in at about 1.5Kg. The go between 35-50Kph. The are ALL WHEEL drive vehicles, often referred to as 4WD. The have independent suspension on all corners. The have front and back differentials and are very adjustable/tunable. You can adjust TOE-IN, CASTER, CAMBER, SUSPENSION DAMPING to name just a few. These are full fledge RACING MACHINES. We currently have 3 different models of cars racing at VPGRacing.

These are from the left, the OFNA Z-10. The LOSI Street Weapon and the Associated TC3.

That's it for now.
