Anybody go? Does anybody have some sneak peeks? Does anybody have the RCHTA JL casting? What did some of the competition show off?

Anybody?

I know that I didn't go because I don't know what RCHTA stands for. What is this you speak of Mark?

 

[PWSchuh]

Yes, he means those but he wants to know about this year's.

Mark,

Everyone who attended Lightning Fest saw all the test shots of new castings that we had at RCHTA (Radio Control Hobby Trade Association), except for this one, in our new 1:24 scale....

That is so downright ugly... but in a good way!

Love that Stude!

You don't see many of those stock. Looks good.:thumbsup:

This year's RCHTA car was the 1969 Dodge Dart in pearl white with the combined JL/RC2 logo on the top of the car. I'll see if I can post some pics later...

I just shot some pics of it for Wyatt, too. They'll be up on his site soon.

A similar Stude has been done in 1/18 by Hwy 61 & Road Legends .

I was at Rchta show , have gone for many years now . (around 1 hrs drive from home ) Seemed like 1/2 the car toy manufactuers of past shows were there this year ! Only one with any significant new stuff was JL & Ertl . Most others were reruns of current stuff . Revell still claims there is a 1/25 kit coming of a 66 Chevelle wagon .... Announced that 1 - 2 years ago ! I talked a bit with Mac Regan - nice guy! JL seemed to have the most new stuff announced for 05 ! Several new series & new castings ... 65 Ranchero , 65 Falcon sedan delivery , 65 Chevy pick up , 66 GTO , 63 Galaxie , plus a neat 1/25 scale series coming ! If you like radio control stuff or trains , there is lots of that there!
I got 2 different show cars ... Usually in the past these are all gone on public access days .... I will post pictures . The Mustang is an old RC Mint Edition casting & the JL new 69 Dart casting !

Did anyone get pics of the 1:64 scale cars at the show? Saw pics of the 1:18 cars displayed there on diecastpub.com.
