Increased security on R/C cars by TSA
The Transportation Security Administration announced on Oct. 1, 2007 that they will be increasing security at airports on remote controlled cars. One thing that’s prompted this announcement was due to a posting this summer of a YouTube video explaining in Arabic how to detonate a bomb with a remote-controlled car. The video which has since been removed was narrated by a University of South Florida graduate student who was arrested in August on charges of carrying four pipe bombs in his car trunk.
Speeders Hobby Center
Those of you in the Lexington, KY area looking for a new local hobby shop be sure to check out Speeders Hobby Center! While the shop is more focused on airplanes and helicopters they do carry some parts for cars and trucks and can quickly order you anything they don’t have. The guys are pretty laid back and willing to talk to you and everyone else no matter how busy they may be. A lot different from the other “bigger” hobby shops that just want your money and then out the door.
Be sure to check out Speeders Hobby Center online!
Come discuss Speeders Hobby Center or other local hobby shops in our Track and Buddy Locator forum.
