RC The Route - Test #1 So we are working on making this happen. First we need to test it out since it has never been done before. We are about to drive a Traxxas Ford Racing Raptor from Ashfork, AZ to Kingman, AZ on OLD Route 66 which is the longest continuous original part of Route 66 still in existence.
This will be our first test and a mini record setting event. This will also help us know what to expect when we attempt the FULL Route 66 from Chicago to LA later this summer for a World Record Setting event. This is the help engage the youth about the history of and future of Route 66. This also brings families together as this is something you should not try at home, but also you can do so many other things with RC with the kids. The event will be also live on Facebook / YouTube and will be talked about social media outlets. This is something new , unique and off the chart exciting. We are so grateful for the support of Traxxas with helping make this possible. They will have the save Ford Raptor available for sale as well online with special Route 66 Centennial logo so you can be able to get the same exact one used in the RC the Route. We also have a website setup for the event which will have links and other information for the test when the day and time is set.
Make sure you start to follow this on our pages, site, and we are about to make some very fun and cool history for Route 66. Who thought 100 years later a totally remote control vehicle would be driving down America's Mother Road. Come join us too as everyone will be welcome to come watch and follow us and meet us at the start and greet us at the end of the test.
Stay Tuned for more info soon!
