About the Author

Tim Wells is the creator and driving force behind ClutchRC.com. His passion for RC cars began when he caught a glimpse of a Kyosho Optima while on a family trip to Japan. Although he couldn't afford it then, the seed of his RC car hobby had been planted, and he knew he had to have one. Fast forward a few years, and he could finally dive head-first into the hobby as an adult. He found a ton of websites and YouTubers doing crazy stunts with their expensive RC cars but very few resources for the average person who just wants to go out and have fun. That's when he launched his RC car website: ClutchRC.

About

Hi! I'm Tim Wells, the face behind ClutchRC. I immediately fell in love with RC cars after seeing a Kyosho Optima as a kid. During lockdowns, I rediscovered my childhood love for RC cars and purchased a Traxxas Rustler 2WD. But it wasn't easy to find information and resources geared toward beginners. So I created ClutchRC to be that beginner's resource with deep dives into upgrades, troubleshooting, and driving tips. I hope it will help other beginners enjoy the hobby as much as I do.
