It has the goal of putting all different kinds of R/C technologies on the global map by publishing books that bring to light the knowledge of R/C technology innovators. Members of the R.C.PRESS editorial team are practicing engineers, technicians and racers who have been with R/C Modeling & Racing since the early days of Tamiya Frog and Kyusho Optima.
