pretty cool i wish there was a track near me
nice one Miguel

Ha, 3:22 the yellow and blue car that streaks by is a member of this site. Looks like a pretty funny documentary.

olny thing that bothers me is calling them toy cars. and like this is somthing brand new but kinda want to see the movie

i picked this dvd up shortly after it came out. though i have never considered myself an "onroad" guy it's a vid worth picking up imo.

That car he had at the beginning looked like an XXXS. That's a vintage car so it's cool!Maybe this movie will hit big and start a whole new RC craze.

This would be a cool story if fox news wasn't so biased towards Losi's

I am not sure why they had a XXXS. the car that was running is a TC5 i believe. They don't have a lot of XXXS running at this location.

That's REALLY funny. The kind of funny that is beyond a laugh. Like, "wow, that was really funny."

All of my treehugging, granola eatin prius driving liberal friends always bash on Fox news so i thought I would just perpetuate the myth.

What myth?

Fox is entertainment. News is not what they do well.

"Carpet Racers", and here I thought it was just a euphemism ...

...Munchers

that name was mentioned by one of the racers close to the end of the dvd. sorry cant remember who. but that was also my first thought when i heard the title.

Hmm.. Doesn't look like a great documentary to me; or at least the trailer is weak. Seems to go for all the cheap shots...? The guy with missing teeth, the bored trophy models etc and doesn't really tell a story. But I'd still like to see it.

Just saw the trailer for a documentary for another of my hobbies; this seems to be a little better directed - or again at least the trailer:
