Bumpstart the Week

Happy "I made it to the internet" Monday.

Thanks for coming back. If you're new to OnTheTone, thanks for checking this blog out. It's hard to call it "my blog" because, really, it should be the Internet's. I'm just putting it out there to grow organically.

If you're new to OnTheTone and haven't seen the not so witty tie in of pictures, videos and misspelled words by blogs worldwide before, perhaps it is best you run this website through the Snoop Dogg filter for clarity.

Brought to my attention by coworkers that really don't want to bother reading through the rc terminology

That is probably the best way to get past all the RC car terms, acronyms and abbreviation. Gizoogle gets right to the point, in a language any child of the nineties should be able to understand. Because really, doesn't always come down to some of that ill shit anyways?






Again, from  the bottom of my heart and the Doggfather's,  hope everyone had a "Kool as fuck Valentinez dizzle everybody."


On a totally unrelated note, Congrats to Chad Due for winning 2wd Mod at Motorama. Especially since my brain won't allow a rear motor car to do anything these days. I couldnt even keyboard engineer it to launch a skate ramp.

But AE is prepared to make every blogger think twice about ye ole timey rear motor layout. REARMOTORNATION is sure to be some hashtag or something on instagram.



Red and yellow.  A number B5 Value meal with a side of winning




Recap and rm racing stoke here:





If you're into gigantic flying metric machines, Team Associated is testing the new RC8 in France.

Neobuggy caught up with AE drivers during a hard to understand, brief display of new plastic, at a French BBq:





AE and other rc companies keep it casual. Porsche, on the other hand, not so casual.





Other than the less than perfect "release video" the car looks good. Not that I'll be fly an RC8 around my local Portland, Oregon mud pit anytime soon. But it's refreshing to see cars that are appealing visually. And once again, this brings me to real race cars and how terrible some are looking this year.


Making "cab forward" look amazing


It's rarely a good idea to compare cars you sit in to cars you stand back and control with transmitters. Of course, unless you're like me and prefer playing a God:





It's bound to be a great week. Here's to racing. In all it's forms.

To mix it up, here's some virtual short course racing that folks may be interested in.
But warning, creepy voice over. Really, anyone other than Scotty Ernst is creepy to me. You may want to turn up the Crue in a new screen.







See ya tomorrow,
-Tommy
