Free
Forever, for everyone
A free home for everyone into RC — cars, trucks, crawlers, boats, planes and FPV. Build it. Break it. Fix it. Run it again.
Visit the live site — rccrashcrew.comRC Crash Crew is Tandy Services' own project — and the one we give away completely free. It's one free home for your rigs, builds, crashes, repairs, parts, setups, crews, events, shops, marketplace, tools and knowledge, for every kind of radio-control vehicle. No fees, no paywalls, ever.
Most of the hobby lives on scattered forums and paid apps. This pulls it into one place — and connects it, so the whole thing gets smarter the more you use it.
The Rig Builder gives each build a battle card, and its Rig Dossier is the whole story in one timeline — every part, setup, battery, crash, repair and run, plus total money invested. Pick your vehicle from a database of real models and the factory specs prefill; a version history tracks every change.
Every motor, ESC and servo gets a Component Passport; every LiPo gets a Battery Passport with real health and cycle tracking. Then the magic: log one run in the Run Log and it automatically ages the batteries you used, the components on the rig, and the rig itself — no double entry.
A Build Garage, Crash Bay and Repair Desk for the whole crash → fixed → running loop; Setup Sheets and tune pages you can clone from other people's dialed-in rigs; a parts catalog, a paint database, a radio reference, guides, courses and a wiki. Not sure what you're even holding? The identify tool will tell you.
Out in the world: a live map of tracks, bashing spots, hobby shops and events with real routing, a "who's running now" live layer, a marketplace for used gear, and group buys. Over 100 places to run and 90+ hobby shops are already on the map, and every hobby shop gets a full free storefront, paid through their own accounts, at $0 fees.
Forums, crews, challenge leaderboards, races, series and show-and-shine, member profiles, badges, polls, quizzes, photos and videos. And the moat: RC Crew AI, powered by Tandy Services AI, answers "why's my truck pulling left?" from that rig's real history — its parts, setups, crashes and repairs — not generic internet advice.
Because the hobby's knowledge is scattered across dead forum threads, the platform carries its own: a 200+ term RC glossary, a database of 190+ real models with factory specs, 140+ parts, crawler classes, a file and downloads library, and how-to guides. Every one is its own page — findable, linkable, free.
It's young, and it's nowhere near done. Everything shipped so far is free, everything coming is free, and there's no paid tier waiting in the wings. The goal is simple and stated plainly: be flat-out better than the best thing online for RC people.
A clean, modular PHP 8 platform — dark and mobile-first, 50+ modules deep — powered by Tandy Services AI and our own Valhalla maps, with extreme SEO so every rig, place, shop, part, model and setup is its own findable page. Pure give-back: proof the tools behind everything we build can power a real, free community, not just a business.
