Over the past year we have seen the BMiller Racing team come on strong in the R/C racing scene. While NBA superstar, Brian Miller, is the driving force behind the team, his right hand man is our good friend Troy Hanson. Troy has a long line of racing history in his bloodline, both R/C and fullsize offroad racing.
We've heard bits and pieces of Troy and his families adventures in offroad racing from "back in the day", and we were excited to see a BMiller Racing video put together by Troy and Keith Wickum (BMiller team driver) which salutes both R/C and offroad racing alike.
Here is what Troy had to say about it:
"I recently was going through some old family photos and ran across some shots of my Dad’s Class 5 Baja Bug from the early 1980′s. I was a teenager back then but the great family memories are still vivid. Once a month or so we would load up the camper van, pull the baja bug up on the trailer, and go racing. The tracks, located primarily in Wisconsin and Michigan, were the homes of the early days of Midwest off-road racing. The most notable, of course, was the Big House in Crandon, Wisconsin, and the Labor Day weekend championships were known as the Brush Run 101.
Taking a look at those old photos got me to thinking … What could I do to make a 1/10 scale RC replica of that old yellow #580 baja bug? I headed out to the garage and grabbed my new Team Associated SC10B and saw that I could make it happen with a few modifications and new body. So I logged onto the A Main Hobbies website and bought the Pro-Line Volkswagen Baja Bug body and the Pro-Line SC10 Extended Rear Body Mounts. The next day it was at my doorstep, so I painted the body yellow and found the right decals, did a little modification on the front and rear shock towers, and was ready to go.
I was so happy with how everything came out that I decided to do a video and show how RC cars are the perfect avenue to bring back some amazing childhood memories."
