If you're an RC enthusiast, you might have come across Dariusz Cybula's (aka RC/DC Scale RC) awesome videos and photos of his meticulously detailed Boom Racing builds in his scale garage. Dariusz, from Germany, was introduced to the hobby through his son and has since developed a passion for pickup trucks. In our Builder of the Month feature, he shares his Boom Racing builds, future plans, and offers valuable tips for hobbyists.

Boom:

Welcome to Builder of the Month! Can you tell us about yourself and how you got into the hobby?

Darius:

My name is Dariusz Cybula. I am a Pole living in Germany. My adventure with RC started with my son. He showed me and made me curious about the crawlers. When I first saw a 1:1 scale model resembling a real car, I was shocked that it could look and function so realistically. I thought that I wanted this too, and I knew that this was what I would strive for when building my models.

Boom:

How did you discover Boom Racing?

Darius:

There are many of my friends who owned a BRX01 with a Toyota LC70 body, and I always looked at them with envy.

Boom:

Can you tell us about your Boom Racing vehicles?

Darius:

My first one was the BRX02. Originally, I was going to build a D110, but unfortunately, all the bodies were sold out. Then I decided to rebuild the Toyota fj40 body into an Fj45 pickup (I love pickup trucks) and mounted it on the BRX02. It fits perfectly.

Boom:

Are there any future Boom Racing builds you are planning?

Darius:

Yes, the Toyota LC70 X Overland edition on the BRX01 chassis has just been created. The next one will be the Zil 130 X Overland edition, which I want to mount on the BRX02 88 SWB chassis. It seems perfect to me for this project. These are my plans for the future.

Boom:

Where do you draw your inspiration from when you are building?

Darius:

From the street, from the Internet, from memories, but also from your own fantasy.

Boom:

What is the RC community like in the area where you live?

Darius:

First of all, amazing people full of passion and a full diversity of crawlers, performance, scale, racing cars, boats... I'm truly amazed at what amazing ideas they can implement.

Boom:

What cars or upgrades do you hope to see Boom Racing make next?

Darius:

I love pickup trucks, especially those from years ago, cars with character, and I would like more cars like this. But expedition cars would also be an interesting proposition.

Boom:

Do you have any tips or advice for others in the hobby?

Darius:

Don't limit yourself. You have an idea, implement it. Have fun, and everything will be simple and doable. You can always count on help from other hobbyists.
