George Barris is one of the leading statesmen of Kustom Car builders

George Barris is one of the leading statesmen of Kustom Car builders. While most car guys know his work, few know his story. George has a body of work that spans decades. It is known by sight, if not by reputation, including cars such as the Munster Coach, Batmobile and “Black Beauty” (the Green Hornet’s car); all used in kids series TV shows of the mid to late 60′s This article is dedicated to George and the telling of his story.

Before he was a professional “Kustom” builder, George (and his older brother Sam – also destined to be known for his customizations) was born in Chicago during the mid 20′s. After the untimely death of their parents, the boys where moved to Roseville, California in 1928 to live with family. Like most kids, they built models by the dozens, some even winning competitions for construction and design!

The traxxas stampede is one of my favorite nitro rc cars

Traxxas has been making and distributing nitro rc cars for years now. They are known for the highest quality nitro rc cars on the market today and will be in the future to come. Seeing how popular Traxxas is I decided to make a top 5 list of nitro rc cars from Traxxas.

Here they are…

5. Traxxas Slayer

The traxxas slayer is the bigger bro to the slash and is one heck of a nitro rc car. The traxxas slayer is a short course racing truck and comes standard with the TRX 3.3 racing engine. I love the traxxas slayer because it can race on almost anything but is especially meant for the local track or backyard. The traxxas slayer comes ready to run (RTR) so you don’t have to mess around with parts and can get to racing it right away. The traxxas slayer is the ultimate king in off road remote control car racing and will be for some time.

The traxxas stampede is one of my favorite nitro rc cars

The traxxas slayer is a 4 wheel drive 1/10th scale remote control truggy. It can go up to 50 miles per hour with the TRX 3.3 racing engine, let’s just think about that kind of speed for a second.

I give the traxxas slayer a 4.3 out of 5. I docked points because the slayer is a nitro remote control truck and it can cost money to run these things. Also the user will probably want to upgrade the tires eventually, not at all a bad rc truck!

4. Traxxas Stampede

The traxxas stampede is one of my favorite nitro rc cars in that it was ranked “truck of the year” by RC Car Action magazine which is the creme de la creme of rc car magazines. But that isn’t all the reasons behind my decisions to make the traxxas stampede #4 on the countdown.

The good car shows are the ones with the hot rods and street cars in them

The good car shows are the ones with the hot rods and street cars in them

If you are looking for a car show the most popular car shows are going to be the ones that are hot rods and street cars. Those are the only car shows that you are not going to have any trouble finding. The only ones that I can think of that you would have trouble getting to or finding would be the shows like collectibles and car shows like that. Other ones I like are best in show and show cars and are are going to be easy to find. So if you want to attend a collector’s car show then you need to get online and start looking up an exhibition in the near future if you want to go.

The good car shows are the ones with the hot rods and street cars in them. All you do is go online or turn on the TV and you should be able to find what you are looking for. All you need to do is go online and type in car show. When you type in the keyword be sure to type in the area in which you live in or it will just pull up random car shows everywhere so be sure to type in your area.
