In this edition of the JConcepts Friday5 we talk to Michigan team driver, Logan Wendling!
1. How did you get started in RC? Was it racing right away, or did you bash vehicles before you found out about the RC race scene?
I got started with RC when I found an old one in the basement when I was 6. Then we got some Traxxas bashers for around the house. Shortly after that we found a local track and started racing.
2. Nitro or Electric racing. If you had to eliminate one all together which one would it be and why?
I would eliminate electric because I like the long mains. There is more time to make up for mistakes.
3. Drag racing in RC is huge right now. Why do you think this is, and do you think it is a “fad” or here to stay for many years?
I don’t know much about drag racing because I’ve never been around it. I think it might have started to get big because it probably takes a lot less work to make a track and it might not require so much car maintenance. I think it will stay for those reasons.
4. Name one JConcepts product that you feel is overlooked by many but you find it very useful. It could be a tool, tread pattern, wing, etc.
I think the JConcepts parts tray is very useful because I rebuild all our diffs and it keeps them from tipping over and organized.
5. Besides RC cars, what other hobbies are you into?
I play football and I like to play video games.
