Colonel Banzo's Custom R/C
From its humble beginnings in the owner's backyard shed, Colonel Banzo's skills and
expertise quickly outgrew its locality when demand skyrocketed.  The R/C community
in Newport News and the surrounding Hampton Roads area soon learned of the man
with the skills and knowledge to launch their radio-controlled hobbies to new heights.
With over 20 years experience in the R/C industry, Colonel Banzo's love of R/C
began at the age of 12 with the old school, original "Monster Beetle".  Over many
years, his love of R/C grew into an insane ploy to strike it rich!  With his lovely wife by
his side, Colonel Banzo's Custom R/C was born.  Though not quite there yet in
"striking it rich", Colonel Banzo will always strive to ensure quality services at low
prices, providing the latest advances in R/C technology, keeping you burning rubber
and ahead of the competition.
  • Thoroughly read the instruction manual that comes with your vehicle!
  • Follow the break-in procedure exactly as specified in the manual. This is
    imperative to the health and longevity of your engine. You can and will blow-up
    your engine if you do not follow the break-in process correctly.  
  • The weather and level of humidity will affect your nitro engine's ability to run. It is
    very difficult, and often impossible, to start and run nitro vehicles in the rain, cold
    (below 50 degrees F), or when the humidity is such that the air is saturated with
    water molecules.
  • It is more economical to purchase upgrade parts that will not break than to replace
    the same stock parts that continue to break time and time again. In addition,many
    upgrade parts come with warranties, often for the lifespan of the vehicle.
  • Invest in a temperature gauge! They aren't expensive, and if used properly and
    consistently,  will save you lots of money on costly repairs.
  • Get to know your vehicle and its support equipment.  Being knowledgeable will
    greatly enhance your vehicle's performance and your R/C enjoyment.
