VRC Pro have unveiled a brand new full size off-road track that we know well at neobuggy, the BarcoOff track, home of the annual Bittydesign Euro Contest. This edition of the track features the 2014 lay-out with a length of 310m! The track is ideal for 1:8 nitro and electric buggies, as well as for the 1/10 Short Course trucks. As with most VRC tracks, the track has been optimized to be raced in both directions, so 2 tracks in one! With this latest addition the number of full-size off-road tracks has now reached 18.

Pattaya buggy track rising from the ashes

03 March 2017 10:01 by Chris  No Comment

In late 2015, the famous Pattaya buggy track in Thailand was closed down. Since then, nature has reclaimed its rights and this place that had welcomed the Worlds in 2010 was abandoned and the races of the past seemed only a distant memory. Following a hard work from the Pitstop Rc crew,  the track has been brought back to life and is under new management in 2017. The track is ready and will welcome the “Pattaya Buggy International Challenge” this summer. For more info click here.

RBR36 Arena to close

19 December 2016 12:41 by Chris  No Comment

RBR36 Arena have announced on Facebook that the iconic Spanish indoor RC Racing facility will unfortunately close down and is unlikely ever to open again. RBR36 Arena have been launched more than 2 years ago by the world champion Robert Batlle and consisted of two tracks, onroad and offroad and a shop in the heart of Barcelona.

Sadly it seems the business is not working fine since some time ago and despite calls for help from Robert to save the situation he did not receive the support needed to hope to continue in good conditions. This sad news confirms the questionable health of the RC business which even offering a promising indoor track facility has not managed to survive 🙁
