I was at a hobby show a few years ago and saw this video game/ simulator for r/c cars/truck racing.

It was similar to the idea behind the g2 flight software...it came with a radio that plugged into you computer.

I am trying to teach my daughter how to drive..and I'd like to keep the rc18 out of the snow banks....so I thought this would be a good start...

anyone know of this...or if its still made.

ur thinking of the duratrax race game.... which is exactly what slim linked u too.... i think they have a new version but im not 100% sure

get the free versio of virtual rc.. and then get the adapter that plugs into the computer and your own receiver..

I think gareth (name thing there) has one.. and loves it...

Check it out... and the game is fun too...

Best thing.. is the adapter is only 29 usd i think, and the game is free, but can have online races too.. and you use your own radio equipment

The only thing I dont like about virtual rc is that its on-road only..

Guest · 01-10-2005, 04:09 PM

no this one was definately off road...MT and Buggies...it came with a radio which plugged into a usb slot...

I was thinking that it was made by the makers of G2 realflight..but I couldnt find anything

The duratrax version is pretty cool, we played with it at the IMHE in Chicago last year. I did find the comtroller a little twitchy though

The game you may be thinking of is repackaged under another name by Sierra called "3D Ultra RC Racers". Basically it's the Traxxas game, minus a few things, but I believe the did come out with a second version. Web link below.

I'll warn you, the game has some "campiness" to it, but overall, it's enjoyable.
