Today we’d like to introduce you to Stanley Shek.
Stanley, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
In 2014, I was working in Hong Kong at the time. I was looking for something to pass time on. Due to the restriction and limited resources of the country, I can’t drift a real car in Hong Kong, like I have in Texas. So somehow while roaming around Hong Kong, a hobby shop caught my eye.
And there I discovered RC drifting. 1/10th scale all wheel drive cars. It’s very, unlike the real drifting, but as the hobby are slowly shifting to Rear wheel drive only. I thought to myself, why don’t we have an RC drift circuit like the rest of the world have? So there in 2015, started this company called RC Garage, and now the only hobby shop that specialized in RC drifting only.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Definitely not, trying to persuasion people that this is not a Walmart toy is something. For a good setup, it will roughly cost about $800 – $1000.
Please tell us about RC Garage.
I specialize in only RC drifting. I’ve been traveling around Asia to learn as much as possible to bring back the knowledge to my shop and the people that comes in.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
