Hi All .....
I wanted to start a thread here asking about something we tend, seamingly to shy away from.....
Insurance!
For those times or occasions we never want to think about or just hope never happens. Someone getting hurt, damage etc.
Now this may be already known by some but I wanted to make it more public and advise for car racers and users to take up the offers and services offered by AMA.
http://www.modelaircraft.org/
If you take a look, even though they are an association primarily directed towards "model aircraft" and their use. Their services cover RC Car use!! (As well as boats!)
Now you are able to be covered not just at the track, or when your in a ROAR Event but when ever you take your car out its box and use it!!
With the speed these cars get to and the weight they bring, especially 1/5th scale(!) Its something we should all consider.
Does it cost and arm-and-a-leg? ..... NO, it doesn't. Price of 3 or 4 glow plugs!!
Just $58 and I got my full membership for the year! Plus you get a free magazine too!!
Read some of the benefits/ services here ......
